After a lot of back and forth decisions, I finally decided on the Nissan Quest. It is such an awesome vehicle that I could not pass it up. It has navigation (GPS), DVD, Bose sound w/10 speakers, power sliding rear doors and liftgate, leather, - you name it, this car has it. Best of all, it has the Maxima engine. So although it is a minivan (space age, but still a mv) it has a lot of power. And it even has a 60,000 mile warranty.
I drove it home tonight and was really impressed at how good it is at night. I hate night driving, but this car was so different! It has auto dimming mirrors, so lights were not blinding. It also has the instrumentation panel a little off to the right, so you don't have the glare of the panel right in your line of vision as you are driving.
Hope it's good in the bad weather ...

Congratulations on your new van. I'm finding it hard to take that next step to a mini van but it looks like we will be joining you in a couple months.

My Aunt Donna has one it is like a charcoal, or grey color, she likes it pretty good. We don't have really bad weather here but she has only had it since the spring so I guess we will see! Glad you like it, does it have the eye piercing red seats too? lol That is the only thing I didn't like about my Aunts, but yeah the 4 dvd screens in hers are awesome. Enjoy! Me and DH are more of a Sienna family which we will be getting by late April, I just don't think 3 carseats will fit in the backseat of our coupe..lol

Thanks! Candis, it's white with beige interior. As far as the Sienna goes, there is almost no wiggle room on the sticker price here in the northeast. The dealers know they have the only AWD minivan left and they are getting top dollar.

We have two AWD vehicles in addition to the Quest, so we won't really have to worry too much.

I'm in the minivan club too. We just bought the new Sienna 4 months ago. We got a wonderful deal on it. We only have 2 kids, but it was so nice and we want to have more kids anyway so we went for the minivan. It really is fun to drive. Not to mention very safe.
I'm sure you'll love having a minivan!
