 I love ny Armada.  I was first hesitant about buying the Armada when I read your reviews about the brakes on the 2004 model.  Most dealers I talked to indicated that the brake problem had been solved.  After reading the negative reviews from 2004 I noticed that Nissan was buying back Armadas from unsatisfied customers.  This is what relaxed my fears and pushed me to get the product I really wanted.  I have driven the SUV from my home in Navarre Florida to Delware, Texas, and Orlando.  I have experienced no problems.  I did not even notice brake dust build up on those long trips.  The gas milage was not a suprise, but I have been geting close to 18 MPH on the interstate.
