I've only been in one Quest. It had only 7,000 miles but rattled something awful and always acted up - as if it had over 200K miles. Granted it is the college taxivan (driven by assistants to the police dept), but minivans should be designed to withstand abuse and stop-and-go traffic without falling apart as that one did.
The rattling you are referring to was a well known issue specific to the sliding doors that was repaired via a TSB for the 1st gen models. A buddy of mine had this exact problem and it was incredibly annoying, eventually a TSB was released and he got some relief with his 2004 Quest.
The freshening that the Quest just received is a welcome change in many respects, both in quality and ergonomics, the drivetrain is pretty much untouched except for the addition of a 5-spd auto I believe in the more luxury oriented models over the 4-spd auto for the cheaper versions (not entirely certain on this point though).
