Image be gone, Nissan's Quest never had me feeling un-cool. From its outwardly expressive nature to its executive jet style interior, I felt proud behind the wheel. Sure there are a few niggling problems with its ergonomics, but overall I've never had as much fun in this class of vehicle before. The Quest rewrites the class, offering more versatility, more luxury and heaps more performance than ever before. Move over mom, I want your ride.
