I am considering switching from my 2014 Armada to a newer 2017-2019 model. They are the most beautiful SUV on the road to me, so I really want one!
I spent many, many months dreaming about getting one, so the build-up is really intense! But I just looked at the inside and I am so, SOOO disappointed that they DOWNGRADED many cabin features:
All these are downgrades from the OLD model ...and they didn't need to be. Great job Nissan. I still love the look of the new body, but I guess it's not going to work for me unless I rivet new storage containers all over the plastic everywhere.
I'm venting more than anything. But I wish there were ideas that would allow me to pursue this machine. The things I need in the cabin from my driver seat are too important, and the absent armrest may be the biggest.
I spent many, many months dreaming about getting one, so the build-up is really intense! But I just looked at the inside and I am so, SOOO disappointed that they DOWNGRADED many cabin features:
- The amount of storage at the gear shifter (excluding the drink holders) are half of the old model!! I need every inch of the old model's configuration.
- The DEPTH of the small amount of storage is also half of what it used to be!
- The depth of the storage under the middle console REALLY decreased and won't allow me to store my current items I need there;
- The highly relied-upon arm rests are GONE! I sit with the seat all the way up and my elbow is nowhere near the console ...what a shame.
- They purposely made the storage on the side doors super shallow not allowing the things I need quick access to (god, this is frustrating) WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT!
- AND they removed all the storage compartments overhead (except the sunglass one)!
