2004 Nissan Quest Sl Mini Passenger Van 4-door 3.5l on 2040-cars

Designed by Nissan Design America in San Diego, Calif., the Quest is powered by the same great 3.5-liter V-6 found in at least six other Nissan/Infiniti vehicles, giving it more oomph (240 hp, 242 lb-ft of torque) than most owners will ever ask of it. It rides on the same FF-L platform found in the Altima, Murano, and Maxima. the Quest has the longest, widest-opening doors in its class, which makes getting to and from the third-row seat a cinch. Back-seat access is further simplified by the trick second-row bucket seats, which tilt up and forward (seat cushion and all), much like the front seats do in the VW Beetle. The second-row seats fold flat, and the third-row bench folds flat into the floor for maximum cargo-carrying capacity. Interior volume has increased 44 cubic feet over the previous Quest, placing it among the roomiest front-wheel-drive minivans.Inside the feeling is open, spacious and modern, with furniture-style seats, ample walk-through space and bold interior colors. “Urban loft” is the how Nissan design director Alfonso Albaisa described the feeling they were trying to evoke. Up front, the shift lever, A/C and audio controls are clustered on a round, table-top-like console that projects up from the floor like a barrel. The instrument panel and information/navigation display screen is located above the console. For the driver, there’s a covered storage bin on the dashboard behind the steering wheel and a steering-column clip for securing a grocery list, photo, or directions to Aunt Betty’s house. The Quest is offered in three trim levels: 3.5 S, 3.5 SL, and 3.5 SE. We were driving the top-drawer SE model, which features a Skyview Roof — four skylights extending over the second and third rows. Running between the skylights is an airline-style overhead console with reading lights, storage compartments, and two optional DVD screens (so kids in the third row don’t get feel deprived). On the roomy comfort front, the Quest is about as good as they get. Sitting in the third-row seat with the second-row seat pulled back as far as it would go, I still had two inches between my knees and the seatback. I reclined in the second seat, slid it back three notches, and had miles of legroom. It was so comfortable I would have fallen asleep. But first I had to inspect the rear audio controls (available with wireless headphones), A/C controls, and power outlets (two in front, two in back). The two rear outlets are oddly located. To use them, a second-seat occupant would have to stretch a cord back to the third row, and with that outlet in use, a third-row passenger would have to stretch the cord to the baggage area. This vehicle is being sold AS IS & the winning buyer will have 10 working days to remove this vehicle from the dealership premises. failure to do so will result in a $20.00 per day storage fee thereafter.
