Great car with a great design and comfort but with some problems.
The style and size are perfect. The comfort is excellent. The downside is it consumes too much fuel. It also has too many mechanical problems after reaching ten years of use. The repairs for the vehicle are expensive compared to other vehicles of the same category.

The luxury sound system is great.
There are no problems whatsoever with my vehicles they run perfectly fine and they are amazing. They have excellent seating, beautiful paint jobs, fully loaded and they have great sound systems. The best part of them is definitely the reliability factor. I have yet to put any money in for maintenance.

Best mommy mobile with towing capabilities.
My armada seats 7 comfortably, 8 if some are kids. I can easily fit 4 car seats and a booster seat. Having the bench rather than captains chairs in the second row was one of the best decisions I made out of comfort and functionality. The seats flip forward for easy access to the third row. The power folding 3rd row is awesome and having butting I am the trunk and the passenger door is super convenient. We have had no mechanical problems, however the headliner console fell down. It may not seem like a big deal but that is where the air vents and overhead interior lights are for the second and third rows. So now you cannot control the vents and it is dark /no lights when you open the doors. Amazing performance. Always impressive get up and go. Drives smoothly and accelerated quickly. Can we talk about the center console? I can fit my entire purse in there and lock it up if I do not want to take it in somewhere. Storage everywhere you look and or could need it.

It can carry a lot of stuff and can pull heavy equipment
I love the size, space, and options. I don't like the gas mileage. No complaints

Sturdy, powerful, and all around cool.
It is great to drive in city and on highway, very spacious and comfortable, powerful engine. Has been great to haul stuff and kids back and forth. The only drawback is the gas mileage, but all the other pros make up for it. Would recommend to anybody that has kids and an active life.

The positives of my armada.
Extremely comfortable, spacious, perfect for multiple kids. It has heated seats and heated steering wheel for cold days. Has a nice backup camera and sensors so you know how close you are to other vehicles or object's when parking. Easy to clean leather seats. DVD player to keep kids entertained on road trips.
accountCircle Ale T
Great car for the active family.
Drives great, is very stable. Powerful engine. Very comfortable for the driver as well as all the passengers. Easily accommodates six passengers and there is still plenty of room for cargo. A little bit of a gas guzzler, but all its other qualities make up for it.
accountCircle Quinlan M
It is a great family car and it is so roomy and very comfortable.
I absolutely love my Nissan armada platinum. I have gotten so many compliments on this vehicle. It is so big and lot of room for the whole family. There is a rattle in the top of the vehicle where the vents are, but I have gotten used to that. There is also a knocking in the air conditioning, but will have these things checked out. Very comfortable ride and seats are so comfortable. I would recommend this car to family and friends.

2010 Nissan armada platinum.
My air conditioner went out 4 months after I bought it, paid $1100 to have it fixed but it didn't fix the problem. The paint is constantly chipping off. The brake line is messed up. Everything on this vehicle has to be fixed through the Nissan dealership. I do not recommend this vehicle or any other Nissan.
accountCircle Topeka W
It is very comfortable and spacious.
Air compressor keeps going out. We have it replaced twice. Very comfortable and spacious. Nice vehicle if air would continue to work.
accountCircle Melodi M
Size will accommodate large families or provide plenty of storage, but be prepared to spend more money on repair costs due to expensive Nissan parts
I like that it is big enough to accommodate my three kids and their car seats without feeling cramped, especially when we travel long distances and have extra luggage. I strongly dislike how expensive the parts are for Nissans and how they are put together. It also rides rough, like a truck, verses being smooth.

Armada - to buy or not to buy.
Reliability is great. Interior cosmetically it is falling apart. It is had a few problems, but it is used heavily. It is been an overall good car for my family, but would not purchase from Nissan again as their customer service has been awful. Trying to get things fixed on it has been a nightmare.
accountCircle Amy S
It's not worth the money. We have had a lot of problems with it.
My vehicle has had a lot wrong with it. The DVD player broke within one year of owning the vehicle. Since then, the actuators broke, the rear view mirror fell off, the overhead compartment for sunglasses fell off.

Nissan armada, worth the cost?
The armada is extremely comfortable, with plenty of room for all passengers. Plus, plenty of space for packing for travel. It offers plenty of towing power, for whatever you need to transport. Has everything you could want as a feature. Although, gas mileage is extremely poor and any needed repairs are expensive.
accountCircle Melissa R on May 20, 2021
The long lasting everyday rider.
We have had the vehicle since 2013 and there have been no major issues. It just now started to have a oil leak and a power steering leak. It fits all 6 of very easily and I have two teenage boys that are tall. The long road trips are no problem with so much room and comfy seats.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Melanie F.

Seats eight people comfortably if some are kids. Four wheel drive is convenient. Dual air control is awesome and the individual overhead some lights are perfect for traveling in the dark, if someone needs to see it does not distract the driver. The second row seats flipping to the third row is really easy to operate.

likeFilled Brittany W.

It has leather heated seats, 3 rows of seats for lots of kids. It has a nice radio and sound system. It is comfortable. It has built in DVD player. It is large enough for our big family. It also makes you feel safe.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Melanie F.

The gas mileage is not the greatest, but that is to be expected with a four wheel drive Sport utility vehicle. Three small adults can squeeze into the third row but not super comfortably. The storage behind the third row could be better.

dislikeFilled Brittany W.

It does not have enough storage space in the back when all of the seats are in use. It also does not get the best gas mileage and makes it expensive to fill up. It can sometimes be hard to get into the very back seat.

Is The 2010 Nissan Armada A Good Value?

It was purchased for $30k. It is definitely worth its value. Although, I do not have any added features, it is more than enough for my family of three.
Deonnca S.
This truck usually ranges in the lower 30,000. Yes, it is a good number however for trucks it does run on the cheaper side. This is a good value because Nissan is not normally a truck brand.
Steph B.
The armada purchase price 6 months ago was 6000. I thought this was a good price for the type of vehicle, age and mileage after reviewing similar vehicles.
Denise F.
For what I got it for, I would say it was at a reasonable price. This is my first car and saving for it took a little time but I do not regret doing so.
