2004 Nissan Quest Review
Rethinking the minivan.
2004 Quest Review Summary & Specifications
Can the Quest actually fulfill Nissan's quest to re-invent the minivan market? If you like the looks of this minivan and appreciate the versatility and design features of the interior take a long look at the 2004 Quest before opting for an SUV. If you enjoy driving you'll draw pleasure from owning this minivan as it delivers performance and handling to match its snazzy looks. The Quest is a Maxima in minivan clothing.In fact, sitting in the very back seats with the middle seats folded down there's tons of leg room and with a DVD entertainment system and leather seats it's much more comfy than being stuffed into the back seat of a Lincoln Town Car. In this set up the Quest could easily be described as the limousine of minivans.
