Summary
If you're in need of a minivan that can replace your favorite sports sedan, the Nissan Quest deserves a long test drive. As one of the more compact minivans, the Quest has a decided advantage over the big boys when it comes to driving feel. Its short wheelbase and quick steering add up to a driving experience that's more rewarding than the dull-edged responses of long-wheelbase minivans.Overall, the Nissan Quest should satisfy anyone willing to sacrifice a little interior room for a minivan that's fun to drive.
