It is spacious inside with plenty of room for the entire family. It is also very safe and durable!!
I have no complaints. I love the size and room available for my kids. The only thing, specifically, I wish I could change of given the opportunity is that I would have a bench seat in the back versus bucket seats for the kids.

Perfect for road trips. Super comfy & built-in DVD players are ideal for travel.
I have not had any issues with my car. It is very reliable and super comfortable. I have ridden in the middle row and the third row and find them both to be very roomy. Even with the third backseat, there is still a ton of room for groceries/luggage in the very back.

One negative is paint oxidizing.
Very reliable with lots of room and comfort. This vehicle has had routine maintenance and is dependable. One problem I have noticed is the paint. Once it starts fading the paint fade continues to spread. It is not everywhere, just a little begins to continue.

It's got all the room you could ever need for a big family. And It's cooler than a van.
The only dislike I have is the fuel economy. But the pros of comfort, space, dvd options, and bluetooth make it wonderful. It's big and comfy for the whole family.

Amazing, sturdy vehicle with all the bells & whistles.
We love the armada. Sturdy vehicle but drives smoothly. It has all the bells & whistles and interior has held up greatly. Gas mileage is definitely a struggle but that is to be expected with a large SUV. We have not used the tow package but I am sure it would be great.

Leather seats are very nice.
The Nissan armada is a wonderful car that has 8 seats which is great for a large family to all fit in comfortably. There is many modern features that improve the car such as heated seats, automatic air control keeping the temperature nice all of the time. The black car and the leather seats also make is comfortable and aesthetically pleasing.

I love the space and how reliable this vehicle is.
I love this truck. It is perfect for the amount of equipment that we have due to our daughters special needs. The only issue is that it is a gas guzzler. We have put a lot of mileage on it and it has been very dependable and the only issue that we have had is the battery dying but all of the other parts have been very good and have held up.

Great family vehicle with large towing capacity.
This is a great family car that can fit multiple car seats and extra guests, in addition to still having trunk space. We used this car to tow a travel trailer and it is wonderful. It has the towing capacity of a large truck but the inside of a luxury SUV.

Don't fall for it. It has been a money pit.
It is always breaking. The windows are now leaking. The steering fluid is leaking. The paint started shipping. The handles on the rear doors broke.

I really love my Nissan Altima.
I like the way it handles, also like the Bluetooth it has. I like the gas mile per gallon that it gets. Love the way it performs in the winter months. The automatic transmission is good to when it shift gears you cannot feel the shift. I love this ride.

The best for teens that are just trying to get by.
The gas goes super fast, but it does have very good features, comfort, etc. Also the look is very modern of this car. I recommend this cars to young adults or maybe moms of younger ones. I have found it very easy to clean also, my old cars have been hard to clean in the past.

Awesome ride, black in color, handles great and good on gas.
Been a great SUV. Few minor problems. Rides and handles great. Gas mileage is right around 17. Haven't done anything to the motor. Has 140,000 miles on it. My wife loves it. Does not want to get rid of it. She drives it everyday. We live 25 miles from where she works. 4 wheel drive works great on icy and snow packed roads.
accountCircle Margo G on June 12, 2021
The one important thing about my car is that it is reliable.
If I had to complain about anything about my vehicle it would be the way the car is designed it has a blind spot when trying to turn at a corner.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Lisa N.

4 Wheel drive, navigation, rear camera, sensors, XM radio, great for cold snowy roads, notifications of car servicing needs when required. Great for long distance driving when needed roomy enough for 8 people and luggage when traveling long distances.

likeFilled Leticia M.

Huge amount of seating space with the comfort of a not so long vehicle. Even with a third row of seats plenty of room to load. Love the way to open and close back button. To lower third row of seats at a push of a button.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Lisa N.

No cons. It is the right vehicle for me and my needs on the road and for travel in the city. Roomy enough for packages and grocery shopping. Easy to navigate so I have no negative comments regarding this vehicle.

dislikeFilled Leticia M.

Air suspension can take a bump or two to air up. So the ride can sometimes seem as little bumpy at the start. Would love to have parking sensors. It does have the backup camera but not sure it is very accurate.
