Editor's Advice: Finally, after years of hobbling along as an inferior has-been requiring heavy incentives to sell, the Nissan Quest minivan receives a complete redesign, along with an infusion of attitude and a healthy dose of handling prowess. Designed for families that want more than just functionality for their ultimate people mover, the 2004 Nissan Quest incorporates modern design cues, innovative storage solutions and a fun-to-drive personality into a single minivan unlike any other. Three trim levels are offered. The S is a base model that comes with cloth upholstery, 16-inch wheels, side curtain airbags, and a tire-pressure monitoring system. Step up to the SL to get a power-sliding door for the passenger’s side, a power rear liftgate, a power driver’s seat with adjustable pedals, steering wheel-mounted stereo controls, rear audio controls, and alloy wheels. Choosing the top-level SE equips the Nissan Quest with leather trim, power sliding doors for both sides of the van, an in-dash CD changer and 17-inch wheels. Along with the usual complement of minivan options, such as a DVD entertainment system, families will find features like SkyView (four glass roof windows for the second and third rows), a 265-watt Bose audio system, a navigation system, stability control and a rear parking monitor. Furthermore, the company has bestowed upon the Nissan Quest a sturdy platform (which it shares with the Altima, Maxima and Murano) and a powerful, smooth V6 engine, so that driving doesn’t need to be a chore. In fact, the Nissan Quest drives much like a Nissan Altima, even on twisty back roads. Don’t neglect the 2004 Nissan Quest when searching for your next family truckster, especially if you like to have fun while driving the kids to school.
