From: Melanie Binkley Melanie when I was doing deliveries for the balloon industry I found a Nissan Quest Van the perfect vehicle for me. What I liked about mine was the ability to move the long bench seat forward and backward in the van. It folds flat against the driver & passenger seats and gives lots of floor space for delivery. My last van had the sliding door on each side. Wonderful for access to each side of the vehicle. One delivery on each side -- no more having to open the back to take out a delivery and pull it to you and hope you didn't disturb the second delivery. I always avoid opening the rear of the vehicle if I can. This vehicle got good mileage, was always dependable even in very cold SD winters and hot, hot SD summers. I would have liked to have a lighter interior color then I purchased. Also I found the leather seats were more easily cleaned but tended to get very hot in the summer and very cold in the winter. Covered the drivers seat with a wool fleece cover. Linda Lee Herreman formerly The Party Planner & Lindee Loo "The Clown" - South Dakota Companies
