As far as visibility for passengers in the second row bench, it s great. The critical disadvantage as far as I was concerned, though, was that this console blocks the passage between the front seats, eliminating access to the rear seats from the front. I have always felt that this was one of the major advantages of vans, both mini and maxi, and it was disappointing to see this area blocked off. That was always one of my major complaints with the Toyota Previa. It contains one cupholder and that s it, no storage area.
Power is more than adequate.
There was no time when I felt I wanted more power and there were a couple of times in rainy weather when I chirped the tires. Nissan s Quest is a worthy competitor in the minivan field. It has some advantages over the others, such as the shelf. I think Nissan has it right and needs just a few slight modification to make the Quest work. The Auto Channel.
