70,000+ miles and not one squeak or rattle and never been back to the dealer for any repairs, adjustments or repairs. A real workhorse. UPDATE: Have owned 2 years now. Just this week replaced the battery and got a front brake job.

I purchased my used 2017 Platinum edition with only 14,000 miles. This is by far the best SUV in its class when it comes to power, reliability, handling, safety features and overall value. Strengths - Smooth acceleration, very powerful V8, 390 HP, nice safety feature with adoptive cruise control, 360 degree view to help you park easily into the parking spots, heated and cooling front seats, and great entertainment system (comes with two screens embedded in the back of the driver and passenger seats with option to run them separately with an adopter). Opportunity: Fuel economy could be a bit better but they it is in the acceptable range of other SUVs. Overall, I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this vehicle and every where I go I get nothing but compliments especially from the guys.

GREAT UPGRADE FROM MY 2008 SE MODEL, BUT LACKING..

Overall look, feel, and price range is well worth it. I chose an SV because of my large family. The captains chairs in 2nd row were an issue. Even for a “BASIC” model the truck is amazing. The feel of it, the handling, the braking, and the power of the truck are a lot better than the 2008 which I traded in. My 2008 was very well maintained to a point it put money down on the new one, paid for my extended warranty, and put some money into my pocket. Just to give you a sense of how well my 2008 was. Now with all good things come some bad things too. The 3rd row is more like the 3rd row of a Pathfinder than an Armada. Also, NYC traffic limits me to about 12 mpg on gas but while driving on I-95 to Florida and back the system reset itself to give me 18 mpg. Lastly, as someone else stated in a review, the transition from 2nd gear to 3rd gear is weird. It kind of feels as if 3rd gear is not even there. Feels as the truck is being held back, and as you floor it a little bit, 4th gear kicks in and it picks up really quickly at that point. Couple of times I did 105 mph with no issues and no one in the family knowing.

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.

I bought this SUV in Oct 2016, and it's too new to give an accurate review. So far, it's a great full size SUV. My wife loves it (technically, it's hers). I took it back to the dealer a few days later for the wheel alignment because the steering wheel was off center. The dealer didn't have the wheel specs on 2017 model, but the Technician was able to use the 2016 Infinity QX80 specs to align the wheels. It has plenty of power and drinks lots of gas, but it has very nice safety features for the platinum package. I live in Pensacola, FL, but I bought the SUV in Mobile AL. We wanted to buy it locally, but the Nissan Dealership in Pensacola swapped the 2nd row captain seats to the bench seat after we agreed on the price. Good thing, I asked to see the SUV before I was going to sign the final paperwork. I went Mobile and got everything I wanted in the vehicle w/ the captain seats for $1300 less.
