The family vehicle Nissan armada.
I love my Nissan armada! It is spacious and travels well with my family of four. The second and third rows fit an adult comfortably. The third row folds down for ample storage. The sunroof is a plus as well as touch screen dashboard. I feel safe and secure in my vehicle and love all of its perks and of course the leather heated and cooling seats.

Great value in a large SUV
Great value in a large SUV. The only drawback I have found is the technology package. You cannot send or receive text in the car, which is a bummer but it is still a great vehicle.Super smooth ride and fantastic acceleration. Very comfortable seats also. I would definitely recommend it for a lower price full-size SUV. And it has Nissan/infinity quality.

It is very spacious and perfect for moms of multiple children.
I absolutely love my Nissan Armada. This is the second one I have owned. It is spacious, comfortable and luxurious, with all the amenities you need. It is also beautiful and I get lots of compliments on it.

The Nissan armada platinum trim is a great, quiet, roomy ride.
The Nissan armada is perfect for a family. Ample storage and very comfortable for long trips. It is fast for a large SUV and very quiet. The features are great including the DVD players. It is very low maintenance and no mechanical issues. It has a great sound system and towing package.

This is a beautiful vehicle and has such a classy look.
The most comfortable vehicle I have ever owned. It is big and roomy, and the leather seats are luxurious and well made. The ride is smooth, and the engine is quiet. It accelerates quickly and smoothly. There is plenty of room in the vehicle and my little children can get in and out of even the third row quite easily.

Best looking safe and reliable SUV.
Super comfortable ride. Very roomy. Great for families. Luxurious interior, super helpful rear and front cameras. Good looking vehicle. Leg room in all three rows. Seats eight comfortably. Reliable vehicle. Low maintenance. Safe vehicle with many airbags and protection devices.

It looks just like the infiniti qx50.
I love the size of my armada. The third row seats are perfect for family trips. It is a luxury vehicle and looks exactly like the infiniti qx50. Gas mileage is not great but worth the extra to feel proud driving it. Mine blue paint has sparkles in it that reflects the light beautifully.

Don't buy this.....beware.
Absolutely the worst vehicle owned as far as repairs. Entire engine replaced at 40,000 miles. Transmission issues. Electrical issues and expensive to maintain. Looks nice, think it is well made because it is a Japanese car.....WRONG.
accountCircle Jeremy James
Was nice. Now second guessing
Starting issues unrelated to the battery. I've tried two new ones. Now sitting in the driveway with 40k. Won't start. Yes I have checked everything I could think of, ie gas cap, doors being shut, oil and trans fluid levels. I now have alawn ornament payment.

I purchased my Armada used. It looked immaculate! I want to love it but there are soooooo many issues. I haven't had it a month and it's been to the dealership twice. First the brake sensor went out. (wouldn't start) Now, the transmission shifts crazy! It's like it's searching for the correct gear. AND part of the dash lights or going out! DO YOUR REASERCH! There is a long list of issues for the Armada. Non of which has a recall!

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Jill S.

A very comfortable ride. So much legroom and headroom in the first two rows of seats. We love the passenger memory seating position option for the front two seats. There is great storage when the third row seats are laid flat. You can lay half of the third row seats down and still have a seat available if it is needed. Power everything!

likeFilled Shanna P.

It has a lot of room inside, it drives easily and the ride is very smooth for an SUV!! I love Nissan, this is the 2nd Nissan I own. I love them because they are reliable and trustworthy. I haven't had any major issues with Nissan.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Jill S.

So many pros but here are a few of our least favorite things on our Armada. The middle row seats do not move except to recline a bit. The drink holders in the front center console have a space that if something falls in its nearly impossible to get it out. The same goes for dropping something down the side of the seats. As much as we love all of the power options it is somewhat annoying that you cannot adjust the third row of seats manually as well. They take some time to move electronically.

dislikeFilled Shanna P.

As with most sport utility vehicles, the gas mileage with my armada is not that great. My only other negative comment is that we didn't get the platinum model, it included a DVD player with screens built in the headrests!
