Used 2012 Nissan Armada Consumer Reviews
Good Value All Around
Tried Expedition, Sequoia, Yukon. This is the best bang for the buck. I tow a 5000 pound boat and this has plenty of power. Ride and handling on par for the class. Fold down third row is great. Interior design is attractive and user friendly. Less trucky than Expedition but not Yukon and Sequoia. Blew all others away on features for the price. I expect Nissan reliability over the long haul. Mileage stinks but there is no free lunch when you want space and towing capability. While no full size SUV is fun to drive, it is easy to do lots of miles on the highway without tiring. It's no sports sedan but I already have one of those. Overall, comfortable, roomy, powerful, and capable.
Not Bad, NOT GOOD. Intended FLAGSHIP ... letdown
Not Bad, NOT GOOD. Intended FLAGSHIP ... letdown Researching issues with the vehicle i own, has shown clear large numbers of unhappy nissan consumers... Transmissions, control arms, fuel pumps, exhaust issues/ catalytic converter codes, AC pumps, DVD players, radios and OS failures.. door actuators, headliners dropping, seat belts locking. These are some of the few items i bumped into while looking up the Nissan Armada... What about the rest of the nissan models. ALSO, STOP making Black trucks with Black interiors! Are you stupid? Stop making the super dark color interiors. My Ford Expedition... oops sold it for this one. F.E was more reliable, less cost to operate. 9100 pounds towing capacity rate, I would never! breaking, fixing, durability. Toyota next Update 3.15.2017 Still feel the same way. Not a huge fan of the rear suspension... if its a tiny bit out of camber settings... one side versus the other.. the truck waggles in a not so great way. Bah... extra load on the rear should not affect the camber settings. I understand this is an attempt to creat a second layer of road shock absorbtion... but its a bad execution of the idea. My radio is still a shtbg problem. Nice programming. FOOLS. Sarcasm there. Clearly its a programming issue. To many other annoyances to list. Will i keep or reccomend.? NOPE.

Mixed
I have had my Armada now for a few months now. I suffer from back and hip problems, so comfort was a big deciding factor for me. I love it, it is comfortable and super spacious. The only complaint I have is that the voice recognition is not very accurate. It can be frustrating at times trying to get it to recognize street names and cities. Since I now have 2 back surgeries, the automatic 3rd row buttons are great as tail gate button. My second complaint is the GAS milage, wait the lack of it!! Its killing me....
Best Value on the Market - Very Happy!
We looked for a while at a lot of different vehicles and this was by far the best combination of size, engine, safety, style, luxury, towing capacity and amenities. We looked at big and small, this was the best. We were able to get a fully loaded Armada new for the price of other vehicles used without all of the options. We had a great experience. We've had a BMW, Infiniti, Acura, Honda and other vehicles, the Infiniti/Nissan is the best. We are very happy with it.
SUV on a grand scale
I had my Armada for almost 11 month and it has been exactly what I expected it to be. It's comfortable, safe, powerful and very reliable. Given its massive size it rides well and has a predictable steering response making it easier to maneuver. Brakes feel strong and do a good job stopping without fading. What really won me over this SUV compared to others is Nissan's 5.6 L engine that is highly refined and in my opinion the best in its class. In fact Japan issued unofficial warranty on this power plant up to 250,000 miles and name designation of "Endurance V8".
