    Do u all know which car my family should buy and why, were debating over the Nissan Pathfinder Armada and the Toyota Sequoia? We really like both of them so you think you all can give me some pros and cons about both and which you would choose. Im only 15 and cant give them much advise. Thanx a lot:D

    Sequioya IMO has nothing special that makes it the car to get.

    I think the Sequoia is the superior vehicle between those two.
    My boss drives one and it is an amazing truck. The interior is decked out. It drives with that toyota smoothness. I believe it is a bit more expensive though.

    Armada. More h.p. and a much more aggressive look. And besides, Toyotas are overpriced. Nissans are just as good.

    What are you getting the SUV for? To carry stuff or people?

    My parents have a Sequioa that they we use for trips to Mexico. It is cramped as hell in the 3rd row seats. The overall interior room kind of sucks. We can't fit as much luggage in as we could our old van, now we have to put luggage on top of the roof.

    If you want to carry lots of people around, a van is better- much more comfortable for the people in the back. Check out the Nissan Quest.

    Can you name the truck with four wheel drive,
    Smells like a steak, and seats thirty five?
    Canyonero! Canyonero!

    Well, it goes real slow with the hammer down
    It's the country-fried truck endorsed by a clown
    Canyonero! Canyonero!

    Hey, hey!
    Twelve yards long, two lanes wide,
    Sixty five tons of American pride!
    Canyonero! Canyonero!

    Top of the line in utility sports,
    Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts!
    Canyonero! Canyonero!

    She blinds everybody with her super high beams
    She's a squirrel-squashin', deer-smackin' drivin' machine
    Canyonero! Canyonero! Canyonero!
    Whoa, Canyonero! Whoa!

    Cadillac Escalades are safe.

    And no one ever touches them.

    You can also get stuff like dual media playback and temp control, and a navigation system. It has good power too.

    Why do they hate vans? Oh well. Just as long as you don't need any tall person to sit in the very back the Sequioa isn't too bad.

    I'd get the Sequoia hands-down. I'm just partial to Toyota brands.

    Id go with the Pathfinder Armada. A client of mine just bought one Friday and took me for a wide. Very sweet ride. Drives like a large sedan. It seemed to sit lower to the ground and have a wider base than most SUVs, which would explain the nice stability. The interior is pretty cutting edge.

    IMO, Nissans are the top of the line. Can't go wrong in choosing one. :)

    A Toyota Highlander is $8,000 cheaper than the Sequoia, has plenty of cargo space, and gets 10 more miles per gallon. It's not on your shortlist, but might be worth a glance.

    Good luck! :)

    Yeah, and I have to endure it for 20 hours this Christmans

    On reliability though, my parents' Sequoia has been perfect.

    Get the Pathfinder Armada. The Toyota is nothing more than overpriced station wagon. But then most Toyotas are overpriced vehicles.
