2006 Nissan Quest Review
A rearview TV camera and run-flat tires are newly available for Nissan's 2006 minivans. Quest offers four models: base 3.5, 3.5 S, 3.5 SL, and top-line 3.5 SE. All use a 240-hp V6 and automatic transmission--a 4-speed for base and S, a 5-speed for SL and SE. All come with front bucket seats only. Rear seating is optional via a package that adds two 2nd-row buckets and a 3rd-row bench for 7-passenger capacity. The bench folds into the floor. All but the base Quest have a standard power liftgate. S and SL include power operation for the right-side sliding door; SE powers both sliding doors. All models come with ABS and traction control. Also standard are curtain side airbags for all seating rows. Front side airbags, antiskid system, and rear obstacle detection are available. So are a navigation system, power-adjustable pedals, satellite radio, and rear DVD entertainment with one or two screens. Other options include leather upholstery, and heated front seats. Also available are Nissan's Skyview roof (consisting of four glass roof panels) and a full-length overhead console with air vents and reading lights. A TV camera that projects on a dashboard screen the view behind when backing up is available.
Competition
Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 17 classes based on size, price, and market position. Long the choice as the family hauler, Minivans are easily the smartest use of space for passengers and cargo. These vehicles offer a fantastic blend of comfort, convenience, and safety features for the modern family.

Our Best Buys include Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Caravan, and Honda Odyssey. Our Recommended pick is Toyota Sienna.

Kia Sedona is new or significantly redesigned.
News
Quest's daring 2004 redesign proved a tougher sell than Nissan expected. The freshened '07s address several issues, starting with a more-conventional dashboard with instruments moved from the center to dead-ahead of the driver. Other remedial measures include more-convenient 3rd-row seat folding, claimed improvements to sound insulation, and standard rear-obstacle detection, previously optional. The '07 Quests are on sale now. Prices are bumped up $150 from closing '06-model stickers.
