Quest originally set out to be the style icon among minivans -- but in the case of the ergonomically flawed dashboard, it went too far. For its fourth model year, that has been fixed, along with upgraded trim quality, tweaked exterior styling, and new available features. Three trim levels share a carryover 3.5-litre V6 and 5-speed automatic transmission. Pricing starts above $30K, but even the S is very well equipped. For load-ability Quest remains among the best: the third-row seat folds into the floor (and more easily so for '07) and the middle seats fold flat, leaving a full-length load deck without removing seats. Also of note, the segment's widest-opening sliding doors, and an available SkyView glass-panelled roof.

Space, style, and a sporty driving experience

Not much, now that they've fixed the instrument panel
