It is a V8 so it has lots of power and has no trouble making it up steep grades or towing something.
I love it because it fits my family perfectly and makes us all feel safe. The only thing I would change is more storage room.

Great vehicle! Highly recommend the Armada!
This is the first vehicle I've owned that I've not had multiple problems with. It's almost 11 years old and still going strong! Knock on wood!

Review for: 2008 Nissan Armada le.
The 2008 Nissan Armada LE has been a real joy to own. We have had minimal problems with this vehicle and it just keeps running. We have towed boats and it has worked great. The maintenance issues have mostly been just oil changes, tires and brakes. All of which are just normal things for a vehicle.

Amazing travel vehicle with excellent gas mileage.
I love my Nissan armada. It can seat 8 people. It is also a good travel vehicle. My family travels a lot and it is good on gas and has amazing gas mileage. I also love how it has me to sit high up. I have not had any problems with my armada. I love the appearance of my armada better than the newer.

Everything is expensive to replace and the air is horrible when vehicle gets old.
The biggest problem I have is the sensors goes out in the tires and they are very expensive to replace. Every little part you need is very costly.

Vehicle dependability and maintenance.
Gets 13 miles to the gallon. Need alignment and new center console for the roof of the vehicle. It has had lots of recalls in the past but it is pretty reliable and easy to clean. The back up camera is a great feature when you put it in reverse. It is an all black vehicle so it is hard to keep clean on the outside but all around it is an ok vehicle.

2008 Nissan Armada se gold with leather inside
It's a V8 Nissan Armada 4 doors leather seats and haves 120000 miles.. Very good vehicle to travel in..

It has a very high safety rating and does very well in adverse conditions.
I like the size and maneuverability, it is also very highly safety rated. I do not like the color and how hot it gets, the AC has never worked very well.

It's extremely dependable.
I love the size of my vehicle and the fact that it rarely has caused me any sort of problems that requires it to be brought to the mechanic. I will say the paint did not hold up as well as other vehicles in the past that I've owned. I live in California and all the sun really ate away at the paint. To repaint this model unfortunately costs a lot of money. Plus the leather on the seats started splitting on a couple of them. I'd say internally, it's a very sturdy car. Cosmetically it's a pain.

It's an ok car..I just want to trade it in.. Due to the fact I need to downsize
It's an ok vehicle, for the year it was made. I really like it..its roomy..however gas is an issue.It's an older model..and its used..so you can expect some problems. Other than that it drives nice. I've had some electrical issues as far as my back windows not going down from the back..only can be let down by the driver.

Right stuff in places for buyers desiring a full measure of large SUV experience.
The Nissan armada does well in the performance department. Its v8 engine produces more horsepower than some rival engines, and it can move the armada without feeling strained during acceleration, on the highway, or while towing. Despite its large size, the armada has a respectable agility that leaves it capable of taking turns and executing maneuvers without much body roll. The ride quality is also pretty good.
