There are many options available on the 2008 Nissan Quest to make driving this minivan a lot more fun and comfortable.

For 2008, there are four models available of the Nissan Quest: the base, the S, the SL, and the top-of-the-line SE. Each model provides its own features as standard, and Motor Trend notes "power-sliding doors, auto headlamps, dual-zone temp become standard on SL." The upgraded version, the 2008 Nissan Quest SE, adds XM radio as well as more features, including a DVD entertainment system, dual-temperature controls, and a navigation system.

As ConsumerGuide points out, "a power liftgate is standard on all but the base model." Some features, such as this and the power operation available for one or both sliding doors, make life easier on the driver and the passengers of the Nissan Quest. Other available options--such as the SkyView window system, which "features four fixed glass panels over the 2nd- and 3rd-row seats," according to Consumer Guide--are stylish and impressive. Edmunds believes these "fixed skylights over the rear seating area" give "the interior a roomier, airier feel." These skylights are available as an option on the SE model of the Nissan 2008 Quest and come standard on the Quest SE.

Features available for the Nissan 2008 Quest that make driving easier include the backup camera, power-adjustable pedals, and auto headlamps. There are also a variety of wheel sizes and styles available on the Nissan Quest 2008, but the most notable of these are the run-flat tires. These types of tires "are rated to withstand 125 miles of travel at 55 mph when completely flat," as Cars.com points out.

Conclusion

There are many features available on the 2008 Nissan Quest, earning it a top rating from TheCarConnection.com.

Other Choices:

Minivans are shrinking in sales but growing in luxury. The new Dodge Grand Caravan has all sorts of convenient storage and seating options, plus enough DVD players for a mini-theater. The Honda Odyssey has its famed Magic Seat and a silky powertrain, while the Toyota Sienna has good performance, plus a version for disabled passengers. The Kia Sedona and its twin, the Hyundai Entourage, have nearly matched the best sellers in the class with strong V-6 power and flexible interior seating, though available features lag somewhat.

    Mr

    The owners manual specifies 87 octane for the 2008 Quest, not premium.

    Love our 04 Quest SE

    We have 65k on our 04 Quest SE and we still love it. I'm sure we'll buy a 2010 when they begin phasing them out that year as rumored.
