2012 Nissan Quest LE: Interior Tour

The driver's center console isn't removable like other vans. I wonder if they made it low to make it easier to move from the driver seat to the second row.

Certainly one of the nicer looking interiors on a minivan. I don't think this is the best minivan on the market, but it sure looks like once of the nicest when it comes to being the driver. The gauge package is very traditional, but ultra clear and clean. I like the a-pillar windows too and the overall look and feel is upscale.

That said, Donna's touch point tests do reveal that the actual feel of a lot of components may not be as good as they look. This is why I love these videos. When you hear the crack of the cupholders, or the dry, scritchy sound of the steering wheel or center console being touched, you get the impression that they feel a little cheap.

Not a deal breaker in this class (the Sienna seems much worse), but it's nice to know. Keep up the good work Donna (I think its time for Edmunds to get you a camera with image stabilization and a better mic though :).

As I've said before I think Nissan, wisely, chose to make the interior very luxurious since there is no Infiniti alternative. They don't have to worry about taking sales from the upscale brother. Honda and Toyota should have done the same and make their interiors worthy of the Lexus and Acura badge. I love the interior but I have to wonder what that light interior would look like after 3 years, kids, fast food, road trips, and sloppy weather. Keeping in mind that most minivans are primarily used by Moms with small children who have very little down time in their schedule for detailing the family hauler.

mmmm Acura Odyssey with NSX styling... somebody photoshop it!
