GT-R: Am I a joke to you?

[@mrubuntuking5257]

For $70k in 2008, definitely not. For $90k in ~2015, probably not. For $113k base, and then $210k for the Nismo in 2020, yeah it's a hilarious joke. Then there's the interior, here's what the best possible staged press photo of it looks like even after a major refresh to make it more luxurious: www.nissanusa.com/vehicles/sports-cars/gt-r/features/interior.html I've sat in one in real life and I can promise you this is its best face. That center stack and infotainment look like they came off the 2nd-highest shelf at Circuit City for $400 (yes I'm a bit old, so is the GTR), and the back is just a featureless greasy hard plastic tub with 2 "leather-appointed" seats. The fit-and-finish on the rear speaker surround is just...eew, it's so crooked and I could probably stick a finger in that gap. If this were the top trim level on my 2016 Honda Fit, it wouldn't be acceptable. I'm sure it was great for $70k in 2008, but now it's outclassed. Do you want 2.9s 0-60, or low 3s but a far better car in every other way? Most buyers in this segment and price range prefer the better car even if it's a few tenths slower. Nissan moved 538 GTRs in 2018, so good luck finding any sort of used value on the refreshed model either. A 3-year-old Audi R8, on the other hand, is a much more luxurious, cutting-edge, well-built car at the same starting price as a new GTR, it's mid-engine, it's got plenty of trunk space just like the GTR, and reliability and maintenance costs are roughly the same. It's 0.3s slower, but you won't notice, and it's the sharper handler. I know, I've driven (though not owned) both. The GTR is basically to supercars (or high-end sports cars) what the Mitsubishi Mirage is to economy cars: it's competing with used cars, and it's not winning because it's about 25% too expensive for the compromises it makes. A value proposition in this segment has to be an INCREDIBLY good value. I know seeing everyone dismiss everything in this segment for the C8 Corvette even though they'll never have the money to look at any of them is getting tiring, but that really is what a successful supercar killer has to be. It's what the GTR was, 12 years ago.

[@DFX4509B]

Also, it's (the C8) kinda what the first-gen NSX was too, the new NSX pretty much forgot about what the first-gen was meant to be. Tl;dr, Honda basically did in the early '90s what GM is doing currently.

[@dylbeentheplotagonistandra2811]

I know of another pretty quirky van: the 2008-2010 Chrysler Town & Country. Sure the outside shape looked very bland and boring, but on the inside, it had a never before seen feature known as Swivel ‘N Go, which made it so that the front two captain’s chairs swivel backwards to face the third row and a table can be mounted in the middle. This is similar to the feature that the Toyota Previa had, except slightly better because of leather seats and a table. And this very unique feature was very short lived because no one bought it because the captains chairs were so big that they could not stow like Stow ‘N Go, and they were so heavy that they were impossible to remove and they barely fit out the side doors. So for 2011, not only were the SOHC(3.8 or 4.0L V6) family of engines replaced with the Pentastar(3.6L V6) family of engines, but also Swivel ‘N Go was dropped, never to be heard of again, and also the Sirius Satellite TV for the rear seat entertainment system was dropped due to lack of subscriptions because streaming services and on board internet were on the rise. And if you do buy one of these as your next van, make sure you get 4.0 V6, because my mom had an ‘08 that had a 3.8 in it and it blew up and after or maybe less than 50,000 miles

[@mcervant23]

Awesome review video. Just bought my wife a 2005 quest for $2950. It’s fully loaded the interior was immaculate and exterior had minor scuffs here and there. The guy I bought it from said the mileage was at 150,000 but couldn’t tell for sure and was guessing the mileage based on the age of the vehicle because the lcd screen that showed the mileage went out. So $20 bucks on eBay a week later and a quick KZbin search I replaced the screen in about 30 minutes. Turned on the van and come to find out the mileage was only 75k. Talk about a steal!

Chris H Hi there, just FYI: there wasn’t a CVT until the next generation Quest. The SE model did have overdrive.

[@rob.halpin]

Amen Brutha! Minivans are the best! When I was single, I bought an AWD Grand Caravan, ripped the back seats out, put in bean bags and a Play Station, and took it all over the Western USA. It was my go to vehicle for snowboarding, camping at the beach, anything long distance, or even hardware runs after I bought a house. I loved that thing.

[@carltonsmoot5250]

My mother had a fully loaded 2008 Nissan Quest. Brown exterior brown interior. I learned to drive in that car. 10/10 would recommend. Edit: the moon roofs were so cool! I remember driving out of the city and looking up at all of the stars. I loved that van 😭😅

5 speed autos on the quests, maximas and altima SE-R's like to shit valve bodies every once and awhile. like anything nissan related there's an aftermarket for it though, you can get a better unit from Level 10 transmissions. still cheaper than a Range Rover though im sure.

[@xaviermiller7785]

The Quest holds a special place in my heart. It was the first car my parents bought new, ours was also an SE and my Dad scoured the country to find one with an orange/red interior that I have never seen another of. I never realized how funky the car was until they replaced it with an Explorer. I took my drivers test in it and proceeded to borrow the car for a fair amount of high school shenanigans, hopefully unbeknownst to my parents. A truly great minivan but an awful choice for a new driver as it was just too easy to jam all my friends in and drive around.

[@adamecomp]

We keep discovering more about our 04 Quest every month or so. What a vehicle! Now I know I am not crazy! We got it for 4100.00 with 89000 miles on it. We have 155k on it now and have put in plenty of repairs to keep it going, but what a vehicle! Thanks for pointing out a fun way to use the 3rd row seats. We just bought a 2017 Quest with 45k on it. Thankfully, we found out the transmission was already replaced with a new one and the warranty from Carvana is already replacing a motor mount an touching up a paint scratch for us. Almost 20k for this one, but hopefully it gives us a good 2nd car. But, it is higher and harder for my wife to get into. The 2017 ride is very luxurious though and the Bluetooth is very welcome for phone calls and Spotify streaming. This one has cloth seats and they have some plastic framework under them that pinches the edges and wears them down a bit and it will pinch your bottom if you are not centered. Seams comfortable once you are situated, however. The 04 also seems to have WAY more storage and mid seat leg room! I think the seat fold down in a better way on the 04 also, but haven't fully checked that out.

The 2007 - 2009 models had the fixed timing chain tensioner, the better 5 speed and the dashboard in front of the driver. Plus the 2007 face lift makes it look even better. I have a red 2007 now with 174K on it. It's an extra car that I really don't need but I can't seem to part with it.

We used to have this van! I thought it was cool. It has the dvd player, wireless headphones, roomy, and comfy! It also seemed really safe, cuz it had so many airbags. There were some problems. The oil pan rusted, the brake rotors warped, drivers side window goes back down if closed too far, the a/c won't work at low speed, and the exhaust began spewing out "black hair" (I think it was a material from the muffler). The cloth seats also hurt my dad's back, and the base stereo system is lame. Maybe two times, after driving for a while on the highway, when we parked and idled the van for the a/c it nearly overheated. If you buy a Nissan Quest, be cautious about the fuel gauge at first. Sometimes the fuel level sensor will report the wrong fuel reading, and you could run out of fuel while it says you have plenty of fuel. There is an optional recall if you have this problem.

[@SonicBoone56]

My grandparents used to have one of these. Quite possibly the only thing I rode in that had back seats comfortable enough to sleep in.

Probably both camshaft position sensor error and crankshaft position sensor error for the check engine light. The timing chain tensioner on these early 3.5's were weak. $2,000.00 out the door at Omega. $4,000.00 total of car. Then transmission slips. Another $2,000.00 at the transmission shop. Car was $4,000.00. These two problems will be $4,000.00 to fix. This is how much he paid for it. The Quest is a garbage car.

[@compzac]

Kinda missed the point, that van was 4000$ great that a sienna is less than a range rover as if the sienna was range rover priced toyota would go bankrupt since the type of people who buy the sienna dont exactly have the bank roll to afford a range rover, but he was comparing this pile's price tag to direct toyotas and hondas from when it was made and the prices are astronomical, i went looking and any honda or toyota with that price tag had either no options, or had nearly double the miles, that one had barely crested 100,000mi and the closest one to me was a Honda odyssey EX-L with 195,000 and had an accident on its carfax.

[@muke001]

HEY!! I’ve got a 2011 Quest SL. Bought preowned from Nissan as a employee lease in 2015. It’s fantastic!! Leather, power everything, no sunroof bc I have the DVD system. Nissan specifically built the van 3” taller so when the DVD screen is down u can still see out the back window. Seats fold flat. HUGE cargo room, larger than a large suv. AND has a well in the back that I can put 2 sets of golf clubs inside and still hav a flat floor. LOWER lift opening than a SUV plus the dashboard is all from infinity. The CVT is great, no jerky gear shifts. It tows. It carries kids and c;ap. It’s the perfect vehicle. And it’s not ugly. The “slab sides” make for better shoulder and headroom. The lazy boy bucket seats r HUGE and wide. I’ve got 215k rolling on this beauty. Just do your maintenance and it’ll do 400k easy.

I bought a 2002 sentra GXE 1.8L Automatic in 2008 for 4k cash from an old man 67000 miles. He bought the car new from Nissan dealership in Scottsdale, AZ so no rust at all. It has now arounds 258000 same engine and transmission, only been changing Tires brakes and fluids, regular maintenance stuff. Love that car drove it from Denver to Maine, Vermont, RI Boston and New york 5 times, 2 times to DC a few times to San Diego couple times to Seattle and recently towed a mid size uhaul trailer from Providence, RI to Denver helping a friend move. its a great car if you dont care for looks or speed. Car is great on gas and it gets the job done! I also own a $600 previa great van LOL Thanks

[@pr1mefire]

This van brings back memories lol. In 2007, my 8-year-old miniature car enthusiast self convinced my mom & dad to buy one of these after I saw some commercials for it and thought it looked really cool. They were looking to get rid of our '96 Explorer XLT which was riddled with problems, and after doing some online research with them they decided a van would be pretty practical to have. We only had it a year, mom thought it was too big and couldn't maneuver it very well, and it too had issues with the transmission as well as a few other minor things in the less than 35k miles we drove it. However I do miss those comfy seats, and also enjoyed sitting in the 3rd row with the second row captain's chair folded down for room to stretch (it was excellent on road trips). It's sad though seeing Nissan coming up with good ideas for cars, but failing so poorly on the execution when it comes to reliability and other development issues - but I'm glad this car was able to leave a positive & lasting impression on my childhood haha.
