Nissan Used Cars- The Quest Mini Van

Nissan Used Cars- The Quest Mini Van

By:


Nissan used cars like the Quest mini-van, has a different style than any other vehicle it competes against. The Nissan Motor Corporation back in 2004 decided it was time to get into this very lucrative segment of the auto industry. Thou Nissan got into the North American market place later than its major competitors did, like Toyota and Honda; the company learned very fast what type of vehicles sold well to the North American Consumer. Nissan knew how well the Dodge Grand Caravan, Toyota Sienna and the Honda Odyssey were doing for their companies, so they decided in 2004 to get into the ball game. Will take a look at the Nissan Quest as a used vehicle to buy.

Nissan Quest used cars are very simply designed, its body looks like a station wagon on steroids. That said thou, its still smaller compared to the other vehicles it competes against for room and size. Its interior doesnt have much to it; it has the look of an entry level vehicle, so theres really nothing to talk about when it comes to its boring interior. The only thing I will mention that I thought was neat is the automatic gear shifter is in the center console.

I got two fuel statistics for the Nissan Quest and thats because of the two different automatic transmissions it has to offer. The four speed automatic transmission has a fuel rating of 12.4-litre, per 100km, for city driving and 8.3-litre, per 100km for highway driving. The five speed automatic transmission has a fuel rating of 13-litre, per 100km, for city driving and 8.5-litre, per 100km for highway driving.

Nissan used cars like the quest has one engine for both its four speed transmission and its five speed transmission. The Quest uses a V6, 3.5-litre, 240 horsepower engine. I did however find when researching this vehicle that in newer models it lost five horsepower due to some power-train corrections.

Lets take a look at the pros and cons of buying a Nissan Quest as used vehicle:

1-There are problems with the tires when driving on the highway, it tends to vibrate.
2-There is a common problem with leaking from the rings on the engine oil cooler.
3-It was giving a below average rating from a leading online consumer watch dog as used car to buy.
4-It received a five star rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for Crash tests done to it.

The problems I mentioned above are really not that serious and not all Nissan Quests have these problems. Its cheaper than what Honda and Toyota have to offer and there are no major problems with the engine or transmission, so I would recommend buying it.
