Homeless Quest

As the days count down to homelessness, there should be a short tribute to the homeless motorhome (read: minivan). That is, the Nissan® Quest S basic minivan.

Nissan® Quest S Front View

The Quest S is probably the cheapest minivan available across all lines. It is, however, fairly large, weighing in at 4,300 pounds. So far, the petrol mileage of the behemoth has been fairly impressive. I am averaging 20.5 miles per gallon. Compare that to the Nissan® Cube, which weighs significantly less but achieves about 28 miles per gallon on average. Of course, I am driving the minivan like an old codger would.

The external trim is minimal with very little fake chrome. There are no alloy wheels that need to be polished regularly, just steel rims with plastic wheel covers. The entire exterior of the Quest S screams, "Budget!"

Nissan® Quest S Cockpit

The interior is fairly plush. Seats are comfortable. Lots of storage areas. No power sliding doors. No powered rear hatch. No power seats. No extreme sound system. As with all of the Quest models, the second and third row seating fold flat, perfect for sleeping. Sadly, no tinted rear windows.

The Nissan® Quest S minivan is the perfect homeless motorhome.
