Don't get me wrong, I like the vehicle. Noot sure that I love it, just yet...and here's why:

As I told the salesperson, I decided on the Armada because it was the closest thing to what I wanted, but I was VERY disappointed that the Armada does not come with several of the features that came with my 2009 Murano LE. Specifically:

*No Rainsense wipers - this one really drives me crazy*No IPOD connect - means I have to run two cables to my iPhone to use it for music, one for power one for sound, and no steering wheel controls*Switch instead of push button start - not a huge deal, but the button is so much more convienent*No power steering adjusment - Come on, is this a luxury vehicle or not?*Sound system deficiency - Not quite a clear as my Murano*Steering wheel controls are lacking - Not near as many options as the Murano, specifically no button that will connect to the phone if it's disconnected

However, the Satellite radio on the Armada displays the song info unliike the Murano LE! You also have adjustable pedals which I am sure your fiance will appreciate if you ever let her drive the beast. Of course, my personal favorite, you have the heated steering wheel (then again, you are in Texas) on the Armada.

So you can't say that the Armada doesn't have it's advantages.

Keep in mind the Armada Platinum is simply a loaded Armada LE from '08 or '09 with added chrome, same features, just more chrome.

Song info is nice, but the heated steering wheel and pedal adjusts I could do without (pedal adusts are useless, fiance and I are the same height.)

Right now, I still say the Murano my favorite. The main reason I went to the Armada was space. We travel a lot and need room to carry people and stuff.
