Driving this Quest, I am very aware of its large size. Despite being long, over 5.1 metres (201 inches) in total, it has a very tight turning radius. I am incredibly surprised at how easy it is to manoeuvre into tight parking spaces. Shocked actually – this is the point that has stood out the most about this minivan's drive.
This new Quest has power sliding doors with selective unlock function and it has a lower step-in height than the competition, making it easier for small children or elderly passengers to get into the second and third row of seats.
A power rear lift-gate is standard equipment on the SL and LE models. Disappointingly, this is not even available as an option on the two least expensive models.
Both the second and third row of seats fold flat with a quick release strap on the S and SV model. It's even easier in the SL and LE where only the push of a button in necessary.
The third row bench splits 60/40 and all seating for all passengers is incredibly comfortable no matter where you sit.
One major downside is that you can only get 2 bucket style seats in the second row, no bench seat is offered. That means if you want an eight-seater van, you will have to look at another brand.
Something that I fell in love with is the Quick Comfort front seat heaters that immediately warm the body parts that are the most sensitive such as the thighs and hips. It really does feel amazing – I would say they are the best-heated seats I have ever used.
Adding to the incredible comfort is the responsive handling from the 4-wheel independent suspension. The steering is power-assisted rack and pinion is a bit on the lighter side but still with enough feedback for the driver to feel completely in control.
