Not as happy as I was compared to the other armada

I’ve had several things wrong with it. My computer in my dash is a joke. The mileage says I’m getting 16.9 mph. My clock jumps a round to army time in the morning and when it warm up it will give the right time. A guy at Nissan place set it right, then the day it was back. Another lady reset again and it went back to the army time . Instanced 22 25 example. My screen on my suv says defect sonar see dealer. They will not listen to me. The computer needs a reboot or replaced. I’ve own a armada for 10 years and Never had a problem with the vehicle . I was charged way to much to have problem like this . $714.00 a month of heart ache.

14 Months of Trouble Free Bliss

Love this big thing. Absolutely the best in comfort and power. The V8 tows anything we put behind it with ease. The Intelligent AWD has bailed me out a few times. Fuel efficiency is not real good but at least it burns regular gas. Being an Apple household, CarPlay would be nice.

versatile luxury

The Armada is comfortable, luxury, and practical. Ton of room. The V-8 is a gem. Only downside is mpg. But, knew that going in. Avg 16 mpg.

Don't buy, not worth it!

Although it's a 4X4, it's not worth buying! Value stinks! Sticker on this vehicle was $54,385 when we bought it this year in January. With only 9,250 miles on it has the SV trim, Kelly Blue Book value is only $29,000! And the gas mileage stinks! It's a gas hog!

This Truck is very nimble.

It wasn’t what I expected. I thought it would ride like a truck (hard) but It rides like a car and very luxurious. Nissan has really outdone their selfs with this truck. Top

One year in

So far we are one year in to owning our armada and love it. I have not had any issues with it at all. I do wish that the touchscreen was a little quicker to respond but other than that its fantastic.

You Get What You Pay For

Overall the appearance of the vehicle is fine, I do not feel it has the same prominent appearance coming down the highway as most American made SUVS. The car's seats are the most uncomfortable that I have ever experienced, you cannot adjust the seats enough to find a comfortable position, not to mention the seats have about as much cushion as a high school bleacher. Also, the seats have no contour, they are absolutely flat, nothing to hold you in place. You slide around going through a curve. The car does not handle curves very well either, I have driven dump trucks that handle better. The Armada is less expensive than some American made SUVs however I believe you would be much happier spending the extra dollars to have a comfortable vehicle.

This car is stylish and functional!

This car is stylish and functional! There is plenty of room for hauling my infant and toddler, as well as my 6' 7" husband! I love the third row in this SUV and the space that I have in the back when those seats are down. The digital technology in the vehicle is quite impressive, too!

NO back support in base model /Super performance

This car was a rocket in its class even as the base model . Fun to drive for a big sled . However, we rented it in Hawaii , and will never rent again due to terrible back support of the felt/cloth seats in front . You sink so far into the seat and your head stops on the protruding headrest, drive for 60 min and try not to ache. I had to have another family member tradeoff and drive while I sat in back seat (which has GREAT back support btw, what a good suprise !) . This vehicle should be scrapped from Hertz . Even though the engine was awesome.
