Folds the rear seats “There’s soo much room for activities”. If you don’t have 4 kids before you get a Quest, you’re gonna have 4 kids after 🤣
😆 🤣 😂
does it have an extra 10 inches?
But the question is also how much XP you get from that Quest too :D
what? I don’t understand
I drove one in high school, lol and it definitely got some use. Seats lay flatttt
“I am a minivan enthusiast” - literally the first time in the history of the English language those words have been spoken in that order.
i thought they existed - the ones whose chat-up lines started with "would you like some sweeties, little girl?"
Jason Torchinsky from Jalopnik is one of them
Lol ask fluffy XD he got a collection of vw buses
The only interesting minivan he needs now is one of those 90s GM “Dustbuster” vans
[slowly raises hand] I LOVE MY SIENNA!!!
Imagine minding your business hearing tire squeal and seeing a 10+ year old Nissan minivan ripping through your neighborhood
😆
I have a 1994 quest. Its fucking loud, but it does a 0 to 60 in 13 seconds
Lmfaooooo
That was me in my 2006 Kia Sedona, 0 to 60 was like 7 seconds. Turn traction control off and you can roast the tires. It was also my first car lol
In my case a 2003 Honda Odyssey, and you gotta make do with what you have
I can’t believe I just watched a 13 minute video about a 2004 Nissan Quest.
I’m here with you dude
I had a 2004 nissian quest minivan and it was a piece of garbage 👎👎👎
Same haha
What have we become?
I feel like I need to shower now
“I swear it stops eventually.”
Classic sales line.
This comment was hysterical.
WIZAAAARD!!! FIX!!!!
A true hooptie!
@@teaganna5970 Along with the line, "Don't worry, I'll pull out."
fan belts adjustment?.... easy fix
The Nissan quest. Jesus christ he is inching towards absolute madness day by day.
Allah akbar
@@mikek5298 SILENCE!, INFIDEL.
Inching? He's been there a while
Hoovie needs to find a first Generation Explore XLT 4x4 with the LSD in the rear. Cut the exhaust at the header so there's no cats. Bonus if it's a stick. I used to kamakazi manji the one I had, a lot. I burned those Goodyear all terrain's down to the cords. When you figure out how to drive them they handle just like a Trophy Truck durring oversteer because of the twin I beam front suspension.
It's not that he just bought a Nissan Quest, but that he spent 13 minutes trying to justify it.
“More luxurious than my wife’s Range Rover”
*quest makes weird alien sounds*
“The pinnacle of luxury”
But the Quest is 16 years old and the fanbelt/timing belt, needs to be replaced, because it probably hasn't been replaced. You can't really compare that to a 3 year old car can you...?
@@samuelburak1941 Coincidentally wasn't there a car in GTA IV that's based on the Maxima called the Pinnacle?
I got another one for sell
Seller: the minivan has more space more comfort, better fuel economy, less wind noise, very easy to get in en out, handles better, very easy to park and drive,
And finally cheaper to buy and maintain,
Buyer: that range rover looks cool dow😁
That beast on the roof of the Quest was the scariest thing I've ever seen.
It was Hoovie.
A Z yeah right dude. It looked like a straight up monster.
I thought it was the alien from Independence Day when he took over the scientists body 😬
reminds me of something Daddy Doug would do 😂
No, it was the dumpest thing!
The exterior looks like they tried to turn a Renault Clio into a minivan.
Now I can't unsee it
The dashboard looks like a Renault Megane and scenic. Renault and nissan are in an alliance so I’m sure they had a hand in designing it. Probably hoping Renault could launch it in Europe or something.
MrJordanwain yeah center dash was definitely a Renault influence and all the random storage cubby’s are also oh so french
Renault Espace 3.5 V6.
When he said Citroen I was thinking Renault, which makes sense as they're part of the same group, wonder how much it shares with the Avantime.
No one:
Hoovie *has one kid*: buys four 7 seater vehicles to shuttle 2 people around in
I thought this was the only car he have that has a third row seat
I thought he had two kids?
lloyd white you’re right but he has had 4 in total
Bwahahaha I have 1 kid and I'm buying a 2008 model as our adventurevan. All the seats will be down for camping fun.
I think he has 2 kids actually. Definitely needs all that space for 2 kids, ya know?
Nobody :
Absolutely no one :
Hoovie : *BLARGHARGAHARGHARHAHRHAR*
AH
lol
“This is the Nissan Quest” *deafening screeching noise erupts*
quest for sanity. doomed from the start.
I think it has autism
"And today I'm going to show you it's quirks and screeches"
With proper care to the engine, it wouldn't make those belt noises
"To me it looks kinda french"
Renault group buying Nissan be like.........
I was sad when he compared it to a Citroen
My mom had a Nissan Axxess - the model right before this Quest
Yeah, the design cues of this thing are decidedly renault inspired, and considering they`re largely owned by renault (and most nissans since the early 2000s share platforms and parts with them) I`d be genuinly surprised if this thing isn`t basicly a renault espace underneath (it certainly looks reminiscent of one, inside and out. Hopefully it has more reliable electrics though)
Andre Anastacio I believe they’re larger than the Espace
@@andreanastacio9548 its a piece of crap with the electronics and everything else i own one.
And its a nightmare.
Had the 2006 model and even the entry level trim I had was a great ride; I had since a 2010 Odissey, 2013 Sienna, 2015 Sienna and then 2018 Odissey and the Quest remains in many aspects one of the more fun to ride. I did 2 back and forth road trips with the 2006 Quest from Miami, FL to Scottsdale, AZ and it was a blast.
Hoovie is actually a pretty good salesman. I can see how he used to sell used cars. He glossed over all the mechanical issues with it and instead sold us on the ridiculous point that a Nissan Quest is as luxurious as a Range Rover. Can’t lie I was pretty impressed with the minivan...
I can almost feel the plastic every time he opens / closes the cupholders, cubbies and storage compartments.
Yep, the epitome of luxury. lol
foreal. this thing is a massive POS like every other nissan from this era. dude is smoking it
And how many Nissan Quests have been towed? Miss the videos!
Not all of us can afford a luxury car. This seems to be a nice middle ground. Not too expensive and not too cheap.
I’d take some brittle plastics if I can have a more dependable Nissan from this era. Or maybe the Infiniti M35 if I wanted this engine.
i'm gonna predict the future.
next episode: here's everything broken on my nissan quest!
1. timing chain
2. bad transmission
Transmission
Exhaust valves
Transmission
Owned one for 10 years + 200, 000 miles and it was no where near as bad as some folks are suggesting. Certainly not any worst that our current Honda Odyssey. And yes, the timing chain tension guide fails eventually and you either need to change the guide, live with the rattle or mcguyer the tensioner through the access panel.
*Hoovie is the kind of guy that doesn't give a shit about his children's future and DENIES MAN-MADE GLOBAL WARMING AND ALL OTHER SCIENCE!!!*
I ain't gonna lie that right turn you took with the Quest was actually pretty impressive
I always found this generation Quest one of the most handsome Minivans ever. And i remember being really jealous it wasn't offered in the EU.
I just realised how much the front of that van looks like a Renault Clio
Check out the front of the Renault Espace
For a second I really did think he somehow bought a Renault
I actually thought it was a Clio at first glance until I read the title.
Renault and Nissan have had a partnership since 1999 so that could be why. They often share parts etc
Renault owns 40 % of Nissan. They also make badge swap with Mercedes.
If you can get this excited over an '04 minivan, you were born to be a salesman.
He used to be you know lol
But, they are a very surprising vehicle. We discover a new feature on ours regularly.
I reckon if Hoovie bought a new car he'd spec it with the check engine light to be on...
That comes standard with Range Rovers and BMWs
How quickly he forgot his pimp my ride van he owned for a week or 2 earlier this year
He gave it away to a friend
When the CEO of your car company has to escape a country in a box, that might raise a few red flags.
I felt more uneasy when he said Nissan would be bankrupt in a few years.
Nah. It might raise a few Lebanese flags though
Louis Subearth well, when your CEO and his wife decides to embezzle from the company out of millions, that would speed up the bankruptcy.
@@HoneyBakedHam7 - Yeah, like Nissan is teetering on bankruptcy due to a supposed $5M "embezzlement". That's probably their staff coffee budget for the year.
OMGWTFLOL it’s still 5 million down the hole, no? I didn’t say it was making or breaking Nissan, just that it certainly doesn’t help alleviate the situation.
I'm not buying a Nissan Quest, they have bad roof monster infestations as proven by this video.
Not gonna lie I got scared. Especially the second time.
I was reading this as that part of the video happened and I died laughing
GT-R: Am I a joke to you?
For $70k in 2008, definitely not. For $90k in ~2015, probably not. For $113k base, and then $210k for the Nismo in 2020, yeah it's a hilarious joke. Then there's the interior, here's what the best possible staged press photo of it looks like even after a major refresh to make it more luxurious: www.nissanusa.com/vehicles/sports-cars/gt-r/features/interior.html I've sat in one in real life and I can promise you this is its best face. That center stack and infotainment look like they came off the 2nd-highest shelf at Circuit City for $400 (yes I'm a bit old, so is the GTR), and the back is just a featureless greasy hard plastic tub with 2 "leather-appointed" seats. The fit-and-finish on the rear speaker surround is just...eew, it's so crooked and I could probably stick a finger in that gap. If this were the top trim level on my 2016 Honda Fit, it wouldn't be acceptable. I'm sure it was great for $70k in 2008, but now it's outclassed. Do you want 2.9s 0-60, or low 3s but a far better car in every other way? Most buyers in this segment and price range prefer the better car even if it's a few tenths slower.
Nissan moved 538 GTRs in 2018, so good luck finding any sort of used value on the refreshed model either. A 3-year-old Audi R8, on the other hand, is a much more luxurious, cutting-edge, well-built car at the same starting price as a new GTR, it's mid-engine, it's got plenty of trunk space just like the GTR, and reliability and maintenance costs are roughly the same. It's 0.3s slower, but you won't notice, and it's the sharper handler. I know, I've driven (though not owned) both. The GTR is basically to supercars (or high-end sports cars) what the Mitsubishi Mirage is to economy cars: it's competing with used cars, and it's not winning because it's about 25% too expensive for the compromises it makes. A value proposition in this segment has to be an INCREDIBLY good value. I know seeing everyone dismiss everything in this segment for the C8 Corvette even though they'll never have the money to look at any of them is getting tiring, but that really is what a successful supercar killer has to be. It's what the GTR was, 12 years ago.
Also, it's (the C8) kinda what the first-gen NSX was too, the new NSX pretty much forgot about what the first-gen was meant to be. Tl;dr, Honda basically did in the early '90s what GM is doing currently.
One car doesn't speak for the entire line-up.
5:10 ahhh that classic squeak....
Mine is a 2005, it's confortable and roomy, but yes, unreliable, It has done the work but i've had to spend some buck on it, and my mechanic makes a horror face whenever he sees my quest
Whenever he sees a Nissan**
" I swear it stops eventually " should be on one of his t-shirts
Ah yes
Or “I swear it starts, eventually”
- mom can we have a range rover?
- we have range rover at home
u know how this goes
because a range rover can't be at home, it's at a garage being mended.
Land rover = dead in your drive way so people think someone is home vehicle.
And suddenly my Nissan quest was a collectors item... Imagine that!
Just bought a 2008 SL Quest... very well maintained.. love it! Using it for road trips with just a sheet of carpeted standard sized plywood flooring in it. (4x8 feet just fits) Plenty of space. Only miss out on a little storage and head room if you don't take seats out first but plenty large enough and the plywood lays level. The engine makes this thing take of very well considering the weight and it's still good on gas for the size. Fantabulous. :D
"You probably think I'm crazy and I'm not well I am but not about this one!"

Every time he pulls in the Wizard shop.
Not gonna lie, sky light hoovie startled me. 🤪
*Hoovie is the kind of guy that doesn't give a shit about his children's future and DENIES MAN-MADE GLOBAL WARMING AND ALL OTHER SCIENCE!!!*
I know of another pretty quirky van: the 2008-2010 Chrysler Town & Country. Sure the outside shape looked very bland and boring, but on the inside, it had a never before seen feature known as Swivel ‘N Go, which made it so that the front two captain’s chairs swivel backwards to face the third row and a table can be mounted in the middle. This is similar to the feature that the Toyota Previa had, except slightly better because of leather seats and a table. And this very unique feature was very short lived because no one bought it because the captains chairs were so big that they could not stow like Stow ‘N Go, and they were so heavy that they were impossible to remove and they barely fit out the side doors. So for 2011, not only were the SOHC(3.8 or 4.0L V6) family of engines replaced with the Pentastar(3.6L V6) family of engines, but also Swivel ‘N Go was dropped, never to be heard of again, and also the Sirius Satellite TV for the rear seat entertainment system was dropped due to lack of subscriptions because streaming services and on board internet were on the rise. And if you do buy one of these as your next van, make sure you get 4.0 V6, because my mom had an ‘08 that had a 3.8 in it and it blew up and after or maybe less than 50,000 miles
Minivans actually handle so much better than SUV’s. My wife loves SUV’s but I actually prefer minivans because of the handling.
Hoovie: 10 cup holders in Nissan Quest
Doug: THIS is my 2004 Nissan Quest, and it is MY Nissan Quest
Lmao!!
No no no, that THIS from Doug is way too short. its more like "THIIIISSSSSSSS"
Creative. 10/10
Me: Watching Hoovie as per usual
My Pregnant Wife: "Why the hell are you watching videos about mini vans, I'll never drive one."
Why is it that people that don't care about cars have such strong opinions about minivans?
Probably get a better reception if she’d caught you watching porn.
@@AE86FTS Why do you assume she doesn't care about cars?
@@urgay1992 Because she's a woman. 99% of them don't care and don't know anything about them.
@@AE86FTS Because they're considered uncool and carry social stigma? Most people that don't care about cars only buy them so their peers get impressed/are commended for their choice.
Awesome review video. Just bought my wife a 2005 quest for $2950. It’s fully loaded the interior was immaculate and exterior had minor scuffs here and there. The guy I bought it from said the mileage was at 150,000 but couldn’t tell for sure and was guessing the mileage based on the age of the vehicle because the lcd screen that showed the mileage went out. So $20 bucks on eBay a week later and a quick UA-cam search I replaced the screen in about 30 minutes. Turned on the van and come to find out the mileage was only 75k. Talk about a steal!
Hoovie has some of the most amazing cars and yet here we are with a Nissan minivan. I'm into it.
WARNING VIEWERS: All generations of the Nissan Quest are INFAMOUS for really bad transmissions. SUPER high transmission failure rate. DO NOT EVER buy one of these.
So are the overrated Honda Odysseys, probably even worse...
Yes these things are absolute garbage, hot garbage actually.
Endless money pits, just get a Toyota Sienna and be done with it. Third-gen Odysseys with the dumb run flats are also a no go.
Transmissions famously go out around 120 to 130k miles. Hoovie's is just on the edge of the precipice.
Well I figured that they're so cheap for a reason. Also that dash looks AWFUL.
I enjoy seeing some of these “average Joe’s cars” videos from time to time. As much as anybody likes Lamborghinis and Ferraris, a silly Nissan relates pretty with people. Often people had one or knew someone that had one and their experiences with it relate to these videos too. Thank for entertaining us with these videos!
I subbed to Regular Car Reviews for just that reason. I love seeing reviews of people's daily drivers.
I will give that, seeing a ferrari is cool and all but ill never own one as im not a 1% but a silly Japanese van i used to see those all the time, had a neighbor that had a basket case version, even when he did the video on the excursion, im like hell i remember and still see those lumbering down the road, and i love that cause it makes me laugh that ford created a vehicle three inches longer than the suburban just to say they had a larger SUV.
I realized that Hoovie is one of the best UA-camrs out there when he threw a minivan, turn signal on, into a corner at a stoplight like he was working a race track. Props to you
Picked up a 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan ES for $1000 a few years ago and slowly feel in love with it. Leather seats, leg room for days, drove like a car, fantastic visibility, easy to spit out the window without hitting the car, v6 power, decent gas mileage, tons of cargo and camping room and because of the large interior space, made a excellent audio environment. Inifinity stereo was stock. Didn't even mind being stuck in traffic because the sound was SO good. Best $1k I ever spent.
“Looks French” isn’t it Renault Nissan . Looks like a Renault Scenic to me
It is in fact something like Grand Scenic or Espace from that period
Nope
Damaged Goods I thought so . The Avantime was meant to be in the US under the Nissan badge
This was when Renault threw money at Nissan and took over their design house. Interior is very Espace, even the stance. Also explains the good crash test results.
there was a french hand for shure
It was advertised as “the minivan that drives like a car”
we've heard of cholesterol-free margarine.
Tires that roll
don‘t they all say that 😅
"the minivan that drives.."
that's enough
Interesting there is a Nissan MPV called the Grand Livina in Southeast Asia which was advertised as such too.
I’ve never wanted a minivan in my life... until now.
7:54 My dads suburban (2007? It was early 10th gen) had seats like that. They also stacked against the driver and passenger while the rear folded back, so it could have massive cargo room. Unfortunately it had engine problems in about 2014 so we got rid of it. RIP Subie, I'll miss it.
Sorry about my rambling, just wanted to share that
Do "other things" in the van 👀
They're great to do what will fill the rest of the seats 👀
every van is a shag van :)
a friend tells me that there is an entire porn category dedicated to this 👀... I wouldnt know if that true or anything 👀
"Drop your kids off" if you know you know
“I am a minivan enthusiast.”
A phrase never before spoken.
I like minivans too. The new Pacifica is way more luxurious than this beater, with stow and go seating and AWD. It's a great road trip vehicle and cargo hauler.
I'm a minivan enthusiast among other things, because of the extreme practicality. Seeing a first-generation Chrysler makes me amazed (especially one that has the 4-speed automatic). A glimpse of a Mazda MPV (the truck one) gives me a little thrill. Buick Terrazas and Saturn Relays inspire a thrill of horror (pig snout vans).
I am an MPV fan (Opel Zafira, Ford S-Max, Volkswagen Touran, FIAT MULTIPLA, Lacia Phaedra, Renault Espace, Citroën Xsara Picasso, Citroën C4 Picasso, Mazda 5...
you have to be insane to not be a minivan enthusiast, especially with how good US market minivans like the USDM Odyssey and Pacifica are
I’m not saying that minivans aren’t great. I’m 6’8” and I’ve yet to find a vehicle more comfortable than a minivan. They just seem to be a vehicle solely purchased out of necessity. I’ve yet to meet someone who drives a minivan because they like the styling or level of comfort offered.
Minivans are awesome. I spend my 1hr lunchbreak in the 3rd row of my Sienna and the bucket seats in the 2nd row fold down to turn into a table with a cup holder
“The check engine light is on” he says while taking sharp corners at high speeds and flooring it constantly.
Next video: Everything that’s broken on my 2004 Nissan Quest.
Yes
Like clock work
Like Cvt
Chris H Hi there, just FYI: there wasn’t a CVT until the next generation Quest. The SE model did have overdrive.
Hoovie has a garage full of amazing cars, and he chooses to make a whole episode on a minivan. Respect.
I had one in Autumn Red. An insanely practical vehicle that proved pretty reliable for the 10 years I had it -- the biggest repair I had was for about $300 to replace some engine sensor. It served me well.
Ive been waiting for this video and the realization that the 2004-2007 Nissan quests were top 5 best vehicles made of all time !
Honestly, that’s a nice ass minivan especially it being for 04. Just missing a big touch screen and cooled seats
Just use ac leather seats are usually cool and get a double din stereo
Big ass waste of money. Didn’t even last 4 yrs.
@@TreeHugger27 shut up
@@TreeHugger27 Ours lasted over 13 years, but we traded it away, had over 500,000 miles on the clock
@@cheez1012 ur one of the lucky ones then. Our transmission was thrashed and the suspension was garbage. Even had failing engine mounts, rotting axels etc., etc. we had a 3rd gen so idk bout u, but yeah mechanics were making a lot of cash off that car.
So what you’re saying Hoovie is, “if this van is a rocking don’t come a knocking“? LOL
My grandparents used to have one of these. Quite possibly the only thing I rode in that had back seats comfortable enough to sleep in.
You have a way of reviewing cars that makes me want everything you review 😂
Had one of these. The space and the features were amazing, but it was the most unreliable car we’ve ever owned
Easily the worst car I've ever owned... and the Nissan Service Department... OMG
samee
Our van had 500,000 miles and it only needed towing because of a flash flood, so with proper care, it can last long.... but my dad hated bringing that car to the Nissan dealer to get one thing fixed 😬
Odd. My Grandma had a 2003 Maxima SE with a 3.5 V6 (same in the Quest) and it had 255k+ miles and didn’t have that many problems at all. I have a 2006 Altima SE with the 3.5 V6 and it has 206k right now and it’s not given me any serious problems either.
My wife and I owned a highly-optioned 2007 Quest SL for a dozen years. '07 was the first year of the mid-cycle refresh with proper instrument cluster and various other improvements. It was fantastic for our family of seven.
Do the seats fold down in back?
Seven? Holy shit Rick
This is why i love this channel. Most million + sub car channels don't go near 'peasant' cars.
These things were incredible back when they were new, the little personal sunroofs, the sleek interior that felt like a sleek space cruiser to my 10 year old self. My aunt and uncle got one back in 04 and it was mind blowing as a kid.... it fell apart within a few years but still a cool van
Why do I suddenly have the urge to buy a Nissan Quest now...
I just went to look at one today for $2875
I was thinking the same thing.
I have an 05 SE and it's awesome and large. I just put a whole sheet of plywood in the back and flat a few hours ago. Working on the engine is a pain though especially if you lose one of your ignition coils in the rear bank.
He’s an ex car dealer
It’s called FOMO (fear of missing out)
I got my wife a Toyota Sienna last year - limited edition. All wheel drive, plenty of room, leather, split screen media playback, the works. It drives and handles great. Totally happy with it. And much less than a range rover!
which year is it
thats a mans van
@@M447DT It's a 2018 I think
At least the Sienna will outlast this Nissan Quest 3.5 SE that Hoovie has.
Kinda missed the point, that van was 4000$ great that a sienna is less than a range rover as if the sienna was range rover priced toyota would go bankrupt since the type of people who buy the sienna dont exactly have the bank roll to afford a range rover, but he was comparing this pile's price tag to direct toyotas and hondas from when it was made and the prices are astronomical, i went looking and any honda or toyota with that price tag had either no options, or had nearly double the miles, that one had barely crested 100,000mi and the closest one to me was a Honda odyssey EX-L with 195,000 and had an accident on its carfax.
my boy finally brings up my xterra
Same noise as my 95 pickup
This video go crazy with the title. The comparison is funny. HAHA
Sitting in the third row with the legs stretched out over the folded second row seats is the way me and my sister rode the entire time we were on vacation in America. Mini Vans are the way to go !!!
We hauled our girls in our Suburban like that also
John J. Baranski Sweet 👌
Seems like the ultimate road trip vehicle with those comfy seats.
Absolutely, this was my family van growing up and if you do exactly what he did: fold down the middle seats and lean back the rear seats, you could literally sit there for 10+ hours.
Yeah, we got our van in NYC, and made it all the way down to Texas, so yeah, pretty comfy, had our car for over 13 1/2 years
My mother had a fully loaded 2008 Nissan Quest. Brown exterior brown interior. I learned to drive in that car. 10/10 would recommend. Edit: the moon roofs were so cool! I remember driving out of the city and looking up at all of the stars. I loved that van 😭😅
We used to have this van! I thought it was cool. It has the dvd player, wireless headphones, roomy, and comfy! It also seemed really safe, cuz it had so many airbags. There were some problems. The oil pan rusted, the brake rotors warped, drivers side window goes back down if closed too far, the a/c won't work at low speed, and the exhaust began spewing out "black hair" (I think it was a material from the muffler). The cloth seats also hurt my dad's back, and the base stereo system is lame. Maybe two times, after driving for a while on the highway, when we parked and idled the van for the a/c it nearly overheated. If you buy a Nissan Quest, be cautious about the fuel gauge at first. Sometimes the fuel level sensor will report the wrong fuel reading, and you could run out of fuel while it says you have plenty of fuel. There is an optional recall if you have this problem.
Hoovie: Makes comments about how "sporty" and "sharp" the handling is.
*Huge body sway, tire screeching.*
Me: "He's going to Richard Hammond himself."
The Quest is still 10,000 times more reliable then any Range will ever be
So true.
@@chriscornelius2518 these quests have major transmission problems not very reliable at all
@@chriscornelius2518 My ass.
True and cheaper to fix
5 speed autos on the quests, maximas and altima SE-R's like to shit valve bodies every once and awhile. like anything nissan related there's an aftermarket for it though, you can get a better unit from Level 10 transmissions. still cheaper than a Range Rover though im sure.
Amen Brutha! Minivans are the best! When I was single, I bought an AWD Grand Caravan, ripped the back seats out, put in bean bags and a Play Station, and took it all over the Western USA. It was my go to vehicle for snowboarding, camping at the beach, anything long distance, or even hardware runs after I bought a house. I loved that thing.
"Interesting" is one way to describe that car's looks.
My mom used to have one but it was a lower trim package, I didn't know these got this fancy
Nissan went south after Renault bought them. I worked in a Nissan dealers then and the quality really took a dive.
Hearing tire squeal from a minivan is the funniest thing. Reminds me of my tire-squealin' days in my mom's '98 Oldsmobile Silhouette.
The Quest holds a special place in my heart. It was the first car my parents bought new, ours was also an SE and my Dad scoured the country to find one with an orange/red interior that I have never seen another of. I never realized how funky the car was until they replaced it with an Explorer. I took my drivers test in it and proceeded to borrow the car for a fair amount of high school shenanigans, hopefully unbeknownst to my parents. A truly great minivan but an awful choice for a new driver as it was just too easy to jam all my friends in and drive around.
"It has Safari windows!"
Nah, son, those are T-Rex windows.
"Where's the goat?"
This van brings back memories lol. In 2007, my 8-year-old miniature car enthusiast self convinced my mom & dad to buy one of these after I saw some commercials for it and thought it looked really cool. They were looking to get rid of our '96 Explorer XLT which was riddled with problems, and after doing some online research with them they decided a van would be pretty practical to have. We only had it a year, mom thought it was too big and couldn't maneuver it very well, and it too had issues with the transmission as well as a few other minor things in the less than 35k miles we drove it. However I do miss those comfy seats, and also enjoyed sitting in the 3rd row with the second row captain's chair folded down for room to stretch (it was excellent on road trips). It's sad though seeing Nissan coming up with good ideas for cars, but failing so poorly on the execution when it comes to reliability and other development issues - but I'm glad this car was able to leave a positive & lasting impression on my childhood haha.
HEY!! I’ve got a 2011 Quest SL. Bought preowned from Nissan as a employee lease in 2015. It’s fantastic!! Leather, power everything, no sunroof bc I have the DVD system. Nissan specifically built the van 3” taller so when the DVD screen is down u can still see out the back window. Seats fold flat. HUGE cargo room, larger than a large suv. AND has a well in the back that I can put 2 sets of golf clubs inside and still hav a flat floor. LOWER lift opening than a SUV plus the dashboard is all from infinity. The CVT is great, no jerky gear shifts. It tows. It carries kids and c;ap. It’s the perfect vehicle. And it’s not ugly. The “slab sides” make for better shoulder and headroom. The lazy boy bucket seats r HUGE and wide. I’ve got 215k rolling on this beauty. Just do your maintenance and it’ll do 400k easy.
I was the lot manager at a Nissan dealer in 04. We used to laugh so hard holding the pedal to the floor in the customer shuttle.
I remember back in 2004 my dad bought a 97 Nissan quest and we went all over the place. I miss those days.
We had a Mercury Villager, miss those days
I remember my aunt owning a 2005 nissan quest from when I was in preschool all the way to 4th or 5th grade, And that 2005 minivan was very close to my childhood. Unfortunately my uncle wrecked it in 2018 or 2017 and rn I miss it
Had a 2004 Nissan Quest SE for 13 years.... two cars later we have a plug in hybrid SUV
@@cheez1012 my aunt had hers probably 16 or 15 years (even though she didn't have it in 2017 or 18 I'm adding 2021)
@@lexity3270 Our parents don't have to rush to the gas station every time the gas prices drop, we get over 100 mpg with the PHev, but I still miss the Nissan Quest :
"Do anything in the back like gaze at the stars" Sure tyler thats what we'd be doing
I love it . Never knew they made a moon roof or whatever in the back in these and the inside lights and things . My neighbor has one of these but his has cloth seats and isn't loaded like this one .
10:28 i burst out laughing when you took the corner that fast lol
I thought I was the only one who thought the '04 Quest was the coolest thing ever. I remember seeing one at an auto show when they first came out and it was like nothing else; it even had the sideways sunroofs! Glad to see Hoovie appreciates these as much as I do!
It was/is the coolest minivan ever. Too bad Hoovie didn't get the insane red lether interior. THAT would have made for a crazy video
My aunt bought one brand new and still has that sucker. It got so old listening to her go on and on and on about this damn thing. It has a big ugly red dash and interior. I will admit it is still pretty nice and hasnt given her 1 dimes worth of trouble. Of course she doesnt drive it much anymore but she says she is keeping it forever, go figure, shes got a little hoovie in her about the mini vans i guess ,,,LOL

Hoovie: "Look at all the space... especially if you are dating..."
me: "oh naughty you! **poke** **poke** **wink** **wink** **nudge** **nudge** "
Hoovie: "its good for social distancing!"
me: "I... and only I was the naughty one."
No, I was too.
We keep discovering more about our 04 Quest every month or so. What a vehicle! Now I know I am not crazy! We got it for 4100.00 with 89000 miles on it. We have 155k on it now and have put in plenty of repairs to keep it going, but what a vehicle! Thanks for pointing out a fun way to use the 3rd row seats. We just bought a 2017 Quest with 45k on it. Thankfully, we found out the transmission was already replaced with a new one and the warranty from Carvana is already replacing a motor mount an touching up a paint scratch for us. Almost 20k for this one, but hopefully it gives us a good 2nd car. But, it is higher and harder for my wife to get into.
The 2017 ride is very luxurious though and the Bluetooth is very welcome for phone calls and Spotify streaming. This one has cloth seats and they have some plastic framework under them that pinches the edges and wears them down a bit and it will pinch your bottom if you are not centered. Seams comfortable once you are situated, however. The 04 also seems to have WAY more storage and mid seat leg room! I think the seat fold down in a better way on the 04 also, but haven't fully checked that out.

Subary Ascent with 19: "am I a joke to you"
11:19, kid, "dad, was that mom ripping around the corner"? 🤣👌
This was my family van growing up. Bought it new and ran it all the way till 220,000 miles with no transmission issues at all. Only sold it because there was an issue with the A-frame coming loose. Really incredible van for the time we had it. Of course, it was the bottom of the bottom end model, wit almost no luxuries.
"Nissan quest is more luxirious than a range rover"
Meanwhile im on a quest of buying a car
🤣🤣
I remember riding in the third row of a 3rd gen Quest when they first came out and ended up getting sea sick back there!
"check engine light is on" *floors it
Probably both camshaft position sensor error and crankshaft position sensor error for the check engine light. The timing chain tensioner on these early 3.5's were weak. $2,000.00 out the door at Omega. $4,000.00 total of car. Then transmission slips. Another $2,000.00 at the transmission shop. Car was $4,000.00. These two problems will be $4,000.00 to fix. This is how much he paid for it. The Quest is a garbage car.
A Z well yea now it is but for it’s time it wasn’t a garbage car at all
In some cars the "check engine" light just checks that the engine is indeed there and turns on to tell you it is.
My car has had a check engine light for a year and a half for "low brake fluid" even though it's always been full, I check it regularly just to be sure lol
“It looks French” I mean in the early 2000s, Nissan took many styling cues with Renault. I can see some influence of Megane and Vel Satis in it
Probably because Renault own 43.4% of Nissan
If t looks very much like the Espace of the same era. I've been foolish enough to buy two Espace's. Hugely practical but they were more fisposaible than a Gillette razor
French plastic, French electrics and engines that left the factory with known engineering flaws. It's a wonder anyone still buys Renault's at all.
@@paulsmith-ib3nx Yes they do, in fact renault was gonna come back to america when fiat came over, then the 500 tanked and renault gave up, probably cause they bought stake in nissan and nissan is tanking as well.
@TheCamshafter same as a croissant, if you think about it - fresh and exciting at first, but defoliates like a vietnamese jungle in the sixties after a couple of days.
Yeah the Espace IV was a baaad car, but these days the Renault’s are just...good 😬🤷🏼 But this quest is like a Espace, just not as luxurious. You could get the VQ35 in the Espace and all... hmmm...
Always loved that generation of Quest. Was put off by the new price that was higher than the Toyota but is is larger. It looked cooler IMP than the others. The turning circle is like an aircraft carrier though.
I’ve never looked personally but I feel like clean examples of this are near impossible to find. I will say, it is the best looking minivan of that era. A clean black one with tinted windows and factory alloy’s would be cool 👌🏻
