Good Decision
Leased at year end 2012. Best value full size SUV - GMs seemed over priced, Fords seemed out of date, German 3 row SUVs just not practical. 40,000 miles into this one and no complaints really. Overall MPG is about 15 but gas is cheap for now. Steering is heavy. Some low end plastic in interior. Bottom line is that it has plenty of space for passengers, dogs, gear etc. More so than with GMs (Tahoe etc). It's almost at the Suburban level in this sense. No mechanical problems to speak of. Second row bench seat with flip and fold is very good - better choice than buckets in my experience. More than enough power. Be aware that factory roof cross bars are under engineered and that the roof rack side rails are tricky to mate up with Yakima/Thule systems but it can be done.

Major Maintenance
It seems that for a vehicle 8 years old, a lot of major maintenance is required. Have had to replace transmission, heat box, condenser, compressor and found out today the starter is going out. Would have never thought for a vehicle with 128,000 miles and 8 years old all this would be replaced. Moonroof has not worked more than it’s worked. This model year was the last year before they changed the style, hopefully Nissan made a better vehicle mechanically.

Ridiculous Nissan and Baker Nissan Dealer
I bought a new Nissan Armada SV in 2012. It has been to the shop for 5 times. Within the first 5 month, the front wheel control arms were replaced due to pulling to the right. Before the dealer (Baker Nissan South Houston) found the real problem, the technician cheated me by inflating the right front tire from 35psi to 45psi instead of fixing the control arm. I found the problem shortly before the inflated tire may blow and cause a serious accident in the hot Houston summer. It is very bad for the Baker Nissan put his customer into a risky and dangerous situation.
Cool car
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
