Very family oriented and practical.
The vehicle has been very reliable. The service has been very user friendly. The space is perfect for a large family. The safety of the vehicle is outstanding as well as all other aspects. General maintenance with the particular vehicle has been very accommodating for a lower income family.

It is a great family car with plenty of room for everyone.
I've only owned the vehicle for a few months now. I love it. It handles very well in regular driving conditions and in the rain. I like the back up camera. It is very roomy for my family. I like that the 3rd row folds down and you don't have to remove the seats.

The best vehicle for a family or anyone who likes a big SUV. Plenty of room.
I have had to replace the alternator and spark plugs but those are the only problems I have had. The interior is in incredible condition as I have tried to take care of it. No issues in the body or engine other than maintenance. I will never drive anything other than an armada for the rest of my life.

There is a lot of room for large families.
It is very room for a family of 5. The front seats are extremely comfortable. Love the ability to lay seats down if needed.

Ultimate mom car with style.
I love the space this vehicle provides. It is perfect for my kiddos and they're friends. The rear row folds completely down by electric button which is great for traveling. You can fold down the whole row or half of it. The middle row passenger seats fold down seamlessly to allow for easy entrance into the rear row. There is a TV for the kids entertainment as well. The stereo system is my favorite part. It is a Bose surround sound system. The leather interior paired with the sunroof make this the ultimate stylish mom car.

My vehicle fits my whole family and they have plenty of room.
I have a 2011 Nissan armada with v8 engine and Bose speakers. I love the keyless entry and start also the DVD player system that's included. I get my peace from my kids watch movies the whole ride. I have all black leather seat 3rd row seating of course is always a plus. CarMax gave me a great car shopping experience.

Excellent family vehicle.
The heated leather seats and heated steering wheel are two of my favorite features. Not an expensive vehicle to maintain. The drive is smooth and it has tons of room. We have myself, my husband and 6 children two of which are in car seats and everyone fits comfortably. Pretty ok on gas considering it is an 8 cylinder engine. The DVD player keeps the kids entertained on long drives.

Armada-affordable-roomy-smooth.
Great SUV. Very spacious and roomy, has DVD players so it's great for kids and long trips. Runs and drives very smoothly. Rear controlled air and heat. Dual climate control up front, so you could have the driver side at 60 degrees and the passenger side at 80 degrees if you like.

That the tire pressure is always low on the tires.
In the 5 years that I have had the car I have had to buy new tires 3 times and the tire pressure is almost always off.

I love the optional 3rd row seating.
My family and I decided to purchase this vehicle because we have 3 kids and go on many mini vacations where they sometimes bring friends along. It is a great choice where room is concerned. It was difficult getting used to driving something so big however. It is also extremely expensive on fuel.
accountCircle Bridget F
It has lots of room to store stuff. Largest SUV on the road.
I like the room it provides but the gas mileage is terrible. The 3rd row seat is nice to separate the kids. DVD player is a must.

Springs and the engine
Problem I have it now the air conditioning line back to the rear is leaking on the right hand side take it in there in this week
accountCircle Dan M
Reliable car with minor issues.
The lights were always burning out and the key would stop working randomly. The car was overall smooth riding and never gave me trouble. The heated seats help in the winter. The interior seats were leather and they held up okay until year 8 then they cracked a little.

Car review, first car and good interior.
I really like my vehicle. As a student it helps me get around between school and work which is just what I need. Its less of a luxury car but it gets me places with no problem! The interior is really nice and getting it repaired does not cost much at all which really helps as a student. I would definitely recommend getting it as a first car because it is very safe and reliable.

Great car for families, tall people, anyone.
This car has super comfortable seats. There is tons of room no matter where you sit!! It comes standard with a DVD player so the people in the back have entertainment. That is a great feature for if you have little ones. I'drives very smooth and quiet.
