Great looking SUV, questionable quality

I evaluated a Yukon Denali and couldn't justify the 14K extra that was going to cost. I have bought GM products in the past and have not been pleased with the fit and finish, trim pieces falling off, leaks, electronics that stop working, etc. I am towing a trailer so need maximum towing capacity, so Armada seemed like the right choice. I liked the look and interior of the Armada. After having driven for a while there has been some issues. The interior lighting had a broken ground wire, the radio keep rebooting itself, the transmission kept losing power under acceleration. The last two required a software update from the dealer so remains to be seen whether I will encounter the issue again. The dealer has been good, but a car that is nearly $60K should not have issues like this.

gas consumption but if you compare it to land cruiser , infinity q80, Tahoe premium 2017 they all do. 30k less than land cruiser, 20 to 25k less than infinity and about 12k less than Tahoe premium. So if you spend 1k more yearly on gas it does worth it. After all I will use it 2 years before I sell it the same price in Africa, I really love this truck.

I've had my Armada Platinum for almost 2 years now and I absolutely love it. We needed something to replace my husband's Chevy pick up and needed the ability to tow 6,000lbs. I wanted something w/ a 3rd row so that ruled out the Porsche Cayenne which was my top choice. Drove the equivalent SUVs and none came close in comfort, upscale interior, ride quality, etc, etc. I had never considered a Nissan before and I've been so pleased with this as my daily driver. Yes it doesn't get great gas mileage but I knew that going in. I mostly drive it around town, but combined highway and town is about 16.5 mpg. I'm also a small woman at 5'2" and I have no problems parking it or driving in close quarters. Love it, will definitely be keeping it for a long time.

Quiet and comfortable. Big and you will use the running boards. Now over 3 years later I have only had to replaced the windshield wipers and changed the oil.

We took delivery of our '17 Platinum AWD Armada the end of July, 2017 for an OTD price of $57,9. I have had a few months to live with it and have several gripes. The leather used for the steering wheel, door and center console armrests seems very thin. I cannot imagine that it will hold up very well. The rear passenger doors close with a very tiny sound that makes them sound very thin and cheap. Factory floor mats are the thinnest I have ever encountered. Both the carpet and rubber backing seems uber cheap. When you push and release the brake pedal it sounds loud (hard plastic noise?) like they forgot a rubber damper to deaden the sound. The biggest knock I have is that there is a buzzing vibration when the engine gets to 3k RPM. This vibration is felt through the pedals, steering wheel and seat and stops at 3500RPM. When I took the tech with me to demonstrate, he could feel it in the passenger seat. Really annoying but dealer claims "that they all do it". I feel like the tranny shifts odd for a big V8. At slower speeds it almost makes it feel like a V6. Once you stomp on it, it moves very well aside from the 3k vibration issue. Stomp on it too much and the penalty will be extreme reduction in an already sad MPG rating. Around town is 12ish. Freeway driving at 70 mph can yield close to 18. Bump up to 85 and your looking at 15 mpg. Had cause to use the seat heaters this week and at least with the driver seat, it was either blazing hot or off. Gonna have it looked at. The seat cooling works fine but nothing to gloat over. The thing looks great and the interior looks very luxurious and gets lots of compliments from guests. We have captain chair configuration and think it adds to the refinement feel. Ours came with the extra USB ports in the rear of the center console and they are great. The auto climate control is not the best that I have seen. I wish it was more consistent. The fan for the rear is pretty loud. Overall, I like it but was a little disappointed in the quality of some of the items. The vibration issue is something that is hard to live with and I will be escalating my concerns until it gets resolved. At this price, I suppose there are some compromises but I do feel that the previous generation Armadas felt more solid and possibly drove better.
