When it comes to powerful and respected figures in the auto industry, Carlos Ghosn is a man who ranks near the top. But, even under his steadfast leadership, Nissan has made a few missteps, the most obvious being the 2004 Quest minivan. As one company executive so clearly stated, Nissan is a company that likes to push the envelope, even sometimes beyond the limits. A prime example is Nissan’s current van, which has been largely panned for its too-futuristic dash with its center gauge cluster and questionable ergonomics, and the very un-Nissan trait of poor build quality. Those are just two of the countless points addressed and corrected in the 2007 Quest, a ride that desperately needed this mid-cycle working over.

Arriving at local dealers in the spring of 2006, the updated Quest features a relocated gauge cluster, more user-friendly controls, minor styling changes, and possibly most significant, a completely overhauled focus on quality.
