2002 Nissan Quest Review

Summary
What Edmunds.com says
A minivan on critical life support. Buyers should look elsewhere.
Pros
Tidy exterior size, lots of bang for the buck, interior flexibility.
Cons
Insufficient passing power, limited interior space.
What's New for 2002

Review
I have been satisfied, overall with my second Nissan Quest. I bought the fully loaded Quest. I enjoy the steering wheel controlled radio switch, the seat heaters, cruise control, rear mirror compass and the vcr. The car is quite reliable. The van usually gets 16 mpg. The only problems I have had with the van are the steering wheel radio control failed at about 20,000 miles, and was replaced. Now the same thing is failing again at 76,000 miles. Also at about 50,000 miles a control needed to be replaced that operated the power windows and compass (That was an expensive repair) Overall, I recommend the 2002 Nissan Quest.
Favorite Features
he steering wheel controlled radio switch, the seat heaters, cruise control, rear mirror compass and the vcr.
Suggested Improvements
More pickup-a larger engine (which the 2004 and later models have). Better radio control on the steering wheel. Better design of rear window (it constantly stays dirty).

Review
I love my van - not too big, but big enough to be comfortable. The VCR is a big hit on trips & we can hook up the Nintendo also. Mileage is 20mpg. I would like better, but what do you expect for a vehicle that will transport 7 people!

Review
I loved the look and style of my Nissan Quest GLE. The wood grain dash and stylish leather seats made me feel like I driving a Lexus. That is until I ran over dirt in the road. The ride is horrible. You feel every bump! I found myself scouring the road for divets and ruts just to avoid them. Otherwise, it was a great vehicle. My kids loved the extras like the overhead video system. And, my husband and I loved the dual function of the sound system. It allowed us to listen to the radio (or not!) while our kids watched a movie with head phones.
Favorite Features
Leather seats. Wood grained dash and steering wheel. Dual sound system.
Suggested Improvements
The ride need improvement. Too rugged.

Review
SETTING ASIDE THE NAME NISSAN QUEST...THIS VAN CAN MOVE AND PERFORMS VERY WELL IN ACCELARTING AND MANEUVERING HOWEVER I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE SUSPENSION. THE VAN RATTLES TO MUCH AND BECOMES ANNOYING WHEN DRIVING. ON THE HIGHWAYS AND SMOOTH SURFACES I GIVE IT THUMBS UP ....BUT STAY AWAY FROM LOCAL STREETS WITH POT HOLES AND UNEVEN SURFACES.
Favorite Features
1- BODY STYLE W/ RUNNING BOARDS 2- ENTERTAINMENT CENTER TV/VCR/(DVD/PS2) 3- VERY SPACIOUS except 3rd row bench
Suggested Improvements
I WOULD NOT TOUCH ANYTHING THEY DID WITH THE 2004 QUEST. PERFECT INTERIOR (SPACE, STYLE, NAVIGATION, DVD, 2-TV'S SUNROOF FOR EVERYONE) EXTERIOR NEEDS WORK..NOT APPEALING AS 2002
family freindly
