I am a BowTie guy. Chevy is the only car allowed in our driveway.
Good luck!

who cares what we think. When the wife's happy then you're happy.
A friend has a Titan and it's pretty cool.
PM MikeF and ask what he thinks. He wrenches on 'em for a living. Could tell you the real scoop is on what they come back for (if anything).

IMHO = all of the little SUV's are less than attractive :jawdrop:
My idea is a Suburban w big power. But then again being 6'4 the little ones hurt after awhile.

I am a GM guy myself, I had a Chevy Tahoe at one point and actually hated it, noisy, lots of little things going wrong, paid alot of money to have it in and out of the shop every other week. The Armada has 305 HP compared to the Tahoe's 295, Armada torque is 395 and the Tahoe is 335, towing capacity Armada 9100lbs and the Tahoe is 6100lbs. Personally the Tahoe is a better looking, the Armada is kinda ugly. I don't know, I hate buying cars...

One of my ee's bought one. Loves it!! I took the wife to drive one after the Burb was stolen and she didn't like it. Mostly cause the Burb has much more room. I loved the way it drive and really like the power. It also gets lost better MPG than the Burb.

I personally think the Armada is kind of ugly, but it does have great specs and Nissan quality. Good luck!

[RiverOtter]

By the way, I think it looks cool.

My nun wont drive a burb, too big. I concur with the Armada looks, it's ugly but it sure did ride nice, it would be much more comfortable for my kids than ride in in the wifes Camry...

My wife has a 99 Pathfinder and it has been troublefree. If we were in the market for a Tahoe size vehicle I would definitely consider the Armada. I just wish they would make one similar to the Suburban in size to give Chevy some competition.

Thanks, the SE Off Road is what we are looking at, I am a little concerned due to it being the first model year, you know the bugs and all, should I wait until the next year comes out? What do you do for Nissan?

I work the parts shop counter. So far they seemed to be pretty solid.
They had a problem with front brake shimmy. Nissan has address the problem
with updated brake pads and hardware. Problem fixed.
The overhead console screws tear out leaving the console hanging loose.
Nissan is addressing that problem and coming out with a fix.
But that's about it. I haven't seen any other major problems.
Personally I wouldn't be shy about buying one. Nissans have a great warranty,
they cover any problem that occurs. Nissan also has a good reputation for
fixing proplems that re-occur.
