I can't think of any proper 7 seater which isn't a gas guzzler TBH. Used Armadas are pretty cheap, but I'm not sure of their reliability.

Aramada is pretty great as ive heard from some one who had it.. Huge ..spacious for all rows.. yes gas guzzler.. it gives you good throttle response ive heard..
Its equilant to the GMC XL's maybe.. correct me if im wrong..

Aramda FTW..japanese.. would be easy opn the pocket on maint etc.

What I have seen after using Armada for three years it better on gas then landcruiser, a full tank (130dh) lasts 450kms. We drove ours around 100k in three years and no issue so for just one brake change. Its a proper a seater.

^Something tells me its mostly highway miles. Maybe the high mileage or low brake consumption. Or most probably BOTH! heh :roll:

the best bet would be Nissan Armada.... looks, power, price, maintenance and ofcourse.. SPACE!

unless u need a bit more of 'oomph', then its the QX56....

Toyota Sequoia.... almost on par but personally, it could have looked better

Patrols, Land Cruisers and Pajeros are also fine, but the 3rd rows arent that spacey and are suitable only for kids


apart from SUVs - Dodge Caravan, Chrysler Grand Voyager, Honda Odyssey.... all really comfortable and spacious for 7 adults

the last row may not be as comfortable in the cruiser and patrol if you compare it to the armada i guess.
comfort as in legroom and mobility etc.

i vote for ARMADA !
