2011 Quest LS Purchased

bweatherford's picture

Just purchases a 2011 Quest LS model to replace a Honda Odyssey with a questionable transmission at 90K. I hope it was a wise decision as we were contemplating a Chevy traverse (slightly used) but for the same money we got a great deal on an LS model (Includes Leather Seating) for the same price brand new. Purchase price was $28K + tax.

I think the new model is right there with the other mini-van players and surpasses all of them with the new styling inside and out. I only hope that the reliability is there for the long term.

Here are the features that help us make the decision

- Price
- Seating - Very nice leather seats, we will see how they hold up to the abuse of 3 kids
- Drives nice, a little quieter than our Odyssey

Has anyone else purchased one of these or am I the only sucker?

Have a 97 - buying a 2011 SL

Someone posted that they paid 28K for a 2011 SL with leather
List price is about 35 - my dealer says they can get one for 31
should I be going lower than the 31 they offered?
Model has no DVD or sunroof - just a few niceties like kick plate and mats

By the way my 97 is still going strong - I won't get rid of it

Welcome from a fellow Odyssey owner

Welcome. As a fellow Odyssey owner and senior member of Odyclub.com, I have to admit I think we are rather rare converts. I am planning to get an LE in the next few months. I will never get the 4th gen Ody for more reasons than I care to count. I considered the Sienna, but now I'm pretty much sold on the Quest. What year was your Ody? It sounds like you got a good price on yours, and now you have a rare color since Amthyst is not available for 2012. I had that happen with my 06 Ody and love the color even more because of it.

Loyal 2006 Honda Odyssey Owner but will never own the 2011.

2011 Odyssey

So whats your big beef with the new Odyssey models? I'm in the market for a 2011/2012 right now. I think we like the Odyssey so far but haven't driven the Quest yet.

My biggest hesitation on the Quest is the lack of reliability information since its a new model and doesn't have as many out in the field as the Odyssey or Sienna.

Me too...

We just finalized the purchase of a 2011 Quest SL as well! We haven't taken delivery of it yet but we figured it was a good step up for us and our growing family from a 2009 Honda Civic. We got a great end-of-year deal and managed to get the last Hakone White Quest in Western Canada. I'll send a review when we've had a chance to spend some time in it.
