Great Looking SUV that is affordable and reliable.
Have had very few issues with my Armada. The ones I have had are generally the ones that have been a recall. Very reliable. Sleek look.
accountCircle Dianna M
I love my Armada. It has almost 300,000 miles and I have had very few problems. It is a well built vehicle.
It holds up well. Not a lot of maintenance required.

I love my Armada. It's like a tank!
GAS GUZZLER. If you can get past that, it's great. 4wd is amazing, towing capacity is great. Smooth ride, comfortable interior, lots of power.

Negative Owner Reviews

accountCircle Amanda L
I love that its a huge vehicle. It can seat up to eight people.
My car has way too much trouble with it. There is always something wrong. I had it in the shop for two months. And they took so long to figure out things. All the lights on the dashboard are on. It is such a bother.
accountCircle jodee p
Its durable & reliable. It looks great & fits a family comfortably. The gas mileage is a negative. The maintenance was minimal.
It was worth the cost and I would buy another one in the future.
accountCircle Chanel K
It's like a workhorse its powerful and gas guzzler.
Its size is good for my family.. Lack of features and it's a rough ride when hitting potholes it can use better shocks.
accountCircle Susan P
There are a couple Blind Spots
It has a couple blind spots. It isn't high enough off the ground. It's super cheaply made, lots of small things broken that I've never seen in my other vehicles.

Family friendly and spacious
The Armada Nissan is pretty spacious and it's great for big families. The problems I've had with this car is finding parking or getting charged extra for a parking space because of the size, also I had to change the battery 3-4 times in the past 13 years. But so far this car was a great investment and my family is happy with our car.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Don M.

It is very dependable and mechanically sound. It also has lots and lots of room. It seats 8 people with 3 rows of seats very comfortably. It has good handling and good visibility. It also has lots of room to haul large pieces of furniture and can hold 8 by 4 foot sheets of plywood with 2nd and 3rd row seats folded down. It has a great towing capacity with the tow package.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Don M.

It does not get very good gas mileage only 10 to 12 miles per gallon around town and only 17 miles per gallon on the highway for long trips. The large 17 inch tires are very expensive to replace. The 3rd row seats are difficult to access for people of larger stature.
