The Platinum is not worth the $$$

I am coming from a 2006 Armada, so my expectations were high with the 2010 model. I am disappointed. The main reason I went with Platinum was due to the folding mirror option for my single garage. This needs to be on Titanium models. The instrument cluster was redesigned it the speedometer is off to the right and hard to read. The Sound/Nav system is poorly designed (read below). After 3000 miles, I am hearing sounds out of the chassis when I go over speed bumps -- I put 50K miles on my '06 and never heard that sound before. The transmission also seems to make a more significant "clunk" when it goes in or out of gear. For a $50K+ vehicle, I should get more for my $. 13 mi/gal stinks

The Nissan Armada 2012 is pretty reliable for hauling and carrying load . It can also drive a long distance without giving any problems. This car really deserves a 5star rating

I always have prefer SUVs over coupes and sedans. The 2010 Nissan Armada Titanium has the space to fit my short, stocky stature and has the power to move through the NYC highways in a breeze. I recently went from NYC to Woodbury (50- 55 miles each way) and average 22-25 miles to the gallon round trip. In the city, it is a bit abysmal but all SUVs suck gas however having a 28 gallon gas tank does save a couple of trips to the station. It also has better top speed (140 mph) then most of its rivals in the class. It absorbs city potholes very well. The seats are firm in which, it is a godsend when stuck in heavy traffic. "Once you drive a truck, you can never go back".

I love this vehicle! When buying used, be careful no matter what you're buying. But, if you see a 2010 Nissan Armada in pristine condition, buy it! I bought, love at first drive! I guess that followed first sight. I love how it looks, it's definitely a statement and with everybody out there driving a million crossovers that all look the same, it's great to be above the crowd, and this thing handles like a charm, rugged and smooth. However, while shopping, be careful. I bought the perfect one, but the blue tooth didn't work and I have to have it! It was a deal breaker, but I bought from CarMax, so I had 7 days to return it for any reason. They tried to fix it and couldn't. So there I was, looking all over the country for one just like it. They are hard to find; my guess is that no one gets rid of them, so if they do, grab it. It's all about who took care of it and how before you. Now, I'm happy to say, I gave it back and bought it back and it will be at the Nissan dealership to get it fixed, and if they can't, I don't have to buy it, but I hope they can, I absolutely love it! I love the steering, the sharp turning radius, the comfort, on and on. I bought the SE and after driving other Armadas that had not been taken care of I knew I'd found a gem!

Very Satisfied w/ Fancy New Armada

Rides like a dream, absorbs everything and handles nimbly for such a big ride. Love the rugged appearance, the big 20" wheels, the amenities and value for the price. Titanium version has enough goodies for our family while not over-the-top. Amazing leg room, I am 6'4" 200lbs and have plenty of room in the front or rear, but the third row is far too tight for someone my size. Bose stereo is phenomenal. Love the rear-view camera, Bluetooth, XM, etc. For a vehicle at $46,650 sticker, I was surprised it did not come with memory seating (disappointing because I often switch rides with my wife), power folding side mirrors, and side markers. Paid $36,699, but after tax and fees paid $39,950.
