I have a 2004 Armada. I got it because I needed all of the space for the kids, dogs, friends, etc. I test drove a lot of different SUV's in the same class and found that this one was the nicest and gave me the most bang for my buck.

I really love it. The only problems I have with it are the poor fuel economy (which can be understood by the engine size) and a very strange knocking noise that I get from the dash area.

I have had the car for a year and there is not much I would change about it. I will eventually have to get rid of it because I only get 13 mpg with equates to about a $300 + gas spendature each month. I will do so reluctantly, because I know that there is not another SUV that I will like so much.

This vehicle has great pick-up, the ride is a little bumpy (mostly due to low-profile tires), the interior is much better than it's American competitors. The parking sensors have never worked correctly, they beep when there is nothing behind me, so I just turn them off. The exterior styling took some getting used to, but now I love it. It has held up very well in it's four year life. Overall, for a first year model, it's pros out weigh it's cons.
