Driver's Seat: Nissan Quest: Next family step after Cube | Philadelphia ...
2011 Nissan Quest 3.5 SV: The boxy van that thinks outside the box.
Price: $30,900 base price. Add $300 for roof rails, $180 for carpeted mats, and $60 for a cargo net. Total with destination was $32,240.
Marketer's pitch: Unrivaled family mobility.
Conventional wisdom: The weird van for when your family outgrows the Juke or the Cube.
Reality: Love-it-or-hate-it looks, not quite as versatile as its boring competitors.
Moving forward: The Quest offers something unusual among minivans in its price range: a continuously variable transmission. Instead of shifting through gears, this offers a steel belt/pulley system with a wide selection of ratios to transmit the 3.5-liter V-6's power to the drive wheels. It's also supposed to improve fuel economy. This even comes in the base Quest S, which starts at $27,750.
the CVT, but I averaged about 20 m.p.g. in the Quest, less than the 22 m.p.g. of the other minivans I tested.The new MPV? As a Mazda MPV owner who sacrificed cargo space for a fun ride, I'd say this minivan picks up the torch from the discontinued zoom-zoomer. The slightly shorter cargo area makes a world of difference in handling compared with larger vans.
Gear unselector: The Quest also picks up on the Mazda gear selector lever, which I think should be long retired. The driver can turn the overdrive off with a button, or choose low gear. So among minivans, only the Sienna and Caravan allow selection of the full range of gears for slowing down on hills, or sort-of sportyish shifting while driving.
And this is not a CVT feature; a neighbor has a Subaru Outback CVT, and the steering wheel-mounted shift buttons offer six gears.
First impressions: When I first sat in the Quest, I couldn't help but notice how intuitive everything seemed. I hit an overhead switch, and all the interior lights came on. The radio had simple dials and buttons. The dashboard dimmer was on one side of the gauges, the info button on the other.
Quality inside: My last experience with a Nissan was an early 2000s Frontier pickup, and everything about that interior seemed cheap and breakable. But the Quest showed Nissan has moved past that.

LL Bean Rear Cargo Mat - Subaru Outback - Subaru Outback Forums
I just bought an 05 LL Bean, and I am very excited about it! I know the 08 and 09 LL Bean wagons had a neat rear cargo mat that had boot prints on them. The 05 that I bought came with just a regular cargo mat. Does anyone know if you can still order the 08-09 style LL Bean rear mat from the dealer? I know that Subaru no longer has the partnership with LL Bean, so I don't know if that has any effect on getting parts that us LL Bean's logo.
