1999 Nissan Quest SE review from North America
"Now that electrical problems are fixed, I love it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nearly all of the Ford electrical components have been replaced with genuine Nissan parts. Too much to list separately.
General comments?
After owning this van for 7 years, and having put 110,000 miles on it, I can say that I have never had any problems with the motor, transmission, axles, or any of the other " moving" parts on this vehicle.
I have however, had to replace just about every electrical part on this van. The drive train on this vehicle was made by Nissan, the rest by Ford (go figure).
I have kept up with all of the recommended servicing, including the timing belt at 90,000. I am hoping to get 300,000 out of this motor as I have on my Nissan truck.
This sport model handles like a sports car, is very comfortable, and is easy to get in and out of. The rear buckets and 3rd row bench is very comfortable as well. My only complaint is that I wish the van was a little longer.
I have test driven many other makes, and still find this one to be the best van overall. I would be hard pressed to ever sell it. The new Nissan vans are rattle traps.
All of the vans with the "stow and go" seating option make adults feel like they are sitting on the floor with their knees in their face, so I won't be buying one of those any time soon.
