    My dad rented a 2020 Infiniti QX80 during late October and earlier November and he didn’t really like it that much and honestly, even though it is an outdated SUV, I like the looks of it and horsepower wise, it didn’t really matter because the looks are so gorgeous regardless of how outdated it is

    Interesting most reviewers found the steering light, also you didn’t mention the HBMC that only the QX80 has (not available in Armada) most folk consider that a game changer for how different the two vehicles handle - QX can ride corners flat, Armada rolls on the same corner - happy to hear your thoughts

    The sequoias engine won’t hold up on the level that the armadas will. Newer don’t mean better which I heard you refer the sequoias too. Tundra and sequoia have had nothing but problems since they came out with the turbo v6.

    • @ericwood9401
      @ericwood9401 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The sequoia's lack of headroom in the back (especially the 3rd row) makes it almost unusable. Also, Android owns 70% of the world's smartphone market share and over 40% in the US so no, not everyone uses an iPhone.

    Owned both. The Infiniti qx80 sensory is a far better choice than the armada. If money isn’t an option you will prevail with the Infiniti. I honestly am surprised just how far apart both are and I’d never go the Nissan route again.

  • @tripple990
    @tripple990 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    You are way too harsh on Infiniti and Armada. And the turning here you displayed, you really seemed dramatic. I driven QX80 2020 at that. And it didn't handle how you displayed at all. It was really responsive. It's not as heavy as you stated. And between Armada and QX80, I'd take the QX80 all day long. And the engine comparison you gave, I disagree with your assessment too. 5.6 seems to be better than GM the 5.3 and 6.2 in terms of endurance. Look at all the complaints people have with that engine GM has. With the stop and Go dynamic fuel management system. All the updates they have. Not good for GM. I think people should test drive these vehicles themselves. Everything you discuss here is subjective. People may are may, not agree with you. And people absolutely should consider Infiniti and Armada vehicles. Rather than sequoia or GMC'S are these overpriced Cadillac's, too. Some of those Cadillac are priced at a ridiculous 150,000.
    I almost disagreed with everything you stated here. You painted a very dimly lit light on Nissan and Infiniti. Which are priced very reasonable compared to the big three, nowadays. Sorry, I just thought you should know!!!

    The Armada has zero (0) places to put anything in the front seat/ driver area, such as change, candy, receipts, etc. , if you are using the cup holders. I would not have bought it if I realized that. Even the console is relatively small- too small for an iPad. You can’t use the small cubby where the iPhone charging pad- it will fry your car key, or the credit cards in your wallet. And, the dashboard sure looks nice and smooth, no place to put anything up there either. Disaster!!!
