I did a TON of research before deciding to purchase the Armada. This truck has been everything I hoped it would be. The exterior has a beauty about it and is in a class by itself. It doesn't look like any other full- size SUV on the market. The interior is spacious and well equipped but it should be for a $40k truck. The ride is smooth and the vehicle has excellent performance with all stock equipment. My kids have a hard time opening the rear doors with the handles mounted so high but they will grow into it. The only drawback I have found is the fuel economy. Don't expect to get anything over 15 mpg with this vehicle. It's just too heavy to get anything better.

With $4,500 incentive, no contest. Even 3-4 year old used large SUV couldn't compete. Rear view camera critical on large SUV and Armada is best. Best in class 3rd row comfort and cargo space. Nice interior design, despite a few rough edges. Lots of little storage, but sub-floor storage in back would help. Push-button start and proximity unlock on hatch would be nice improvements. Excellent ride quality, despite engine roar (part of its character). Worst in class gas mileage; 14mpg mixed. But, trade for excellent towing and amazing acceleration, it's worth it. If you don't need off road or towing, go with a minivan; more space, more convenience, 30% cheaper. It's my 5th Nissan!

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 Best value full size SUV - GMs seemed over priced, Fords seemed out of date, German 3 row SUVs just not practical. 40,000 miles into this one and no complaints really.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.

I bought this car used, a 2010, with 85000 miles. I went from only owning Lexus vehicles, to this one, and I have to say, I love it - it's perfect. People complain about mileage, but it's a big car, so it is expected to be poor. I average around 14 to 15 MPG overall. Summer its higher, winter it's lower. I traded in a Lexus RX because I wanted something with 3 rows of seats, with a third row that is actually usable. I looked at the Ford Expedition, Suburban, and Yukon, and none of them seemed to have a third row that anyone over the age of 5 could fit into. People note this car rides similar to a truck - and that's because it is one. That said, I think it rides very well, and is responsive for such a big vehicle. Moreover, the Armada is fast - much faster than you would expect. There is ample room for 2nd row passengers, and tons of cargo storage throughout. I have the Platinum version with bucket second row seats - so there is a console between the two seats. DVD entertainment works well. Heated steering wheel is awesome in the winter. In fact, I towed out a Ford F250 this winter that found itself stuck in the snow - and did it with great ease. As a whole, I would totally recommend this vehicle. It's great for family, or to fold down all the seats for hauling stuff. Tows 9100 lbs - more than any truck in it's class. I haven't had it long enough to rate reliability, but so far, it's been great - no problems. Update 9/8/18 I now have 145000 miles and would still completely recommend this truck. I have had no major issues with it, and still love it just as much as I did when I first bought it.

I did a lot of research before buying this vehicle. Bang for your buck you cant find a better large SUV. I went from a Nissan Pathfinder to this Armada because we wanted more room. My wife loves driving it because it sits up high and feels very safe with the kids. Our insurance went down $15/mo because of the size too. Gas mileage isn't good (12-13) no matter how I drive it. Its just a tank, but manuevers very easy. With two young kids and a large dog this truck was everything we wanted and more.

While ok for driving around town, the Armada was fantastic as a long distance cruiser, as a tow vehicle for our boat, and as a moving truck for our college students. You don’t buy this car for gas mileage or sporty driving. It’s a hauler for people and stuff. The car held up great since we bought it. The paint still looks fantastic and the interior is still in great shape. All the electronics are still working. We had a normal amount of maintenance beyond the warranty period - nothing outrageously expensive.

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.

This vehicle is Nissan's equivalent of a Chevy Suburban. It's just about as big of an SUV as you can get. The engine has plenty of power, giving it a rated towing capacity of 9,000 pounds. The vehicle feels surefooted and responsive, but I can definitely tell it's built on a truck chassis and the ride is a bit bumpy. Ours is the base model and doesn't have some of the amenities we've found in the higher trim levels, but is still quite nice. One thing that immediately struck me was that the windows are disproportionately large, which gives very good sight lines. For the interior, the seats are a rather rough cloth, so I don't think I would want to sit on them for an extended period while wearing shorts. There is plenty of room for my 6' 4" frame. The vehicle is tall enough that it's rather high for even me to get in, which may lead to some premature wear on the edge of the front seats as I slide in and out, but my 5'4" wife can easily get in thanks to the running boards and well placed handholds. The third row seats are powered and there are flaps that cover the gap between them and the second row seats to provide a reasonably flat surface for cargo. There are plenty of power points throughout the vehicle. For storage compartments, there is an overhead storage assembly running from the windshield to the second row seats with half a dozen or so compartments suitable for sunglasses, books, and such. On upgraded trim models there is a DVD player, the headphones for which store in one of the overhead compartments. The center console is quite large and deep, and there is a large open storage area directly ahead. One issue is that, because of the sheer size of the vehicle, some of the HVAC and radio controls as well as the front cup holder are at the extreme end of my reach without shifting in my seat. This may prove a problem for people with shorter arms, but probably can't be helped given the size of the vehicle. There is plenty of storage for the back seats. There is sub floor storage in the cargo area, but it is not very deep. I can't fit the 5 pound fire extinguisher I keep in the car in it, but it should be good enough for jumper cables, road flares, and the like. The HVAC system, at least on heat, is fairly anemic and is difficult to balance. This might be an issue for people in colder climates. It does have rear heat, which helps. The vehicle feels solid and has plenty of power. 70 MPH on the interstate feels like it's just loping along and not even trying. Even so, it has been getting 16 MPG in mostly highway driving. This vehicle, like all trim levels, has a 9,000 pound towing capacity and is set up with a 7 round light connector and class 3 Reese type hitch already installed. It should not be terribly difficult to install an electronic brake controller, and I don't forsee any problems towing our 28' camper. The vehicle cannot be dinghy towed behind a motorhome. Snow plow packages are available for the vehicle. It uses load range E tires, which help with handling but are more expensive and make the ride rougher, although this is probably necessary due to the towing capacity. The vehicle looks like it is designed for easy maintenance and repair. The vehicle is pretty maneuverable for its size and a backup camera helps with close quarters maneuvering. It does take up just about every bit of a standard parking spot, so it may be necessary to choose a spot wisely so your doors don't get blocked by neighboring cars. Overall, I definitely like this vehicle. It was purchased to be a heavy hauler, a backup to our daily driver vehicles, and to carry my family of four and all our luggage on vacation, and I think it will fill that role nicely. Overall, I'm highly satisfied.

I am 3 years and 50,000 miles in on my first Nissan. I apparently get better gas mileage than most - 18 mpg average - which is bad, but not so bad for the size and power this vehicle affords. Converts from school bus duty to cargo van duty in seconds with ease. It has a very strong, quiet engine and many thoughtful creature features. The interior still looks new even after trucking my kids. The one disappointment I have is the paint seems a little thin. Mine is Midnight Garnet, which is a beautiful color, but it scratches easily. The fact that it is so dark makes scratches more noticeable. I anticipated a utility vehicle designed for family use would have a tougher finish. Otherwise our relationship is a happy one.

We bought our 2013 Armada Platinum in February of 2019. At that point, six years old and with 54k miles on the odometer. It had a clean history and services performed on or ahead of schedule at the time we purchased. Since taking ownership, we’ve done a transmission service at 60k and 90k miles, a differential service at 80k miles, and full synthetic oil changes every 5k miles along with routine brake and coolant flush services. Beyond the normal maintenance, the only issues we’ve encountered in our four years and 51k miles of ownership were replacing the starter at 81k miles and the A/C compressor and condenser (condenser wasn’t bad but it’s generally frowned upon to not do both when one goes bad) at 95k miles. Keep in mind that while that mileage was relatively low, the vehicle was eight and ten years old at the point of each service, respectively. We purchased a 48-month extended warranty when we bought the vehicle and it has paid for itself and then some replacing these two items. It has plenty of room for our three kids, aged 15, 11, and 7. We have the 2nd row captain’s chairs, factory headrest DVD system, power folding 3rd row, and power rear vented windows (REALLY useful when a kid “cuts one” in the car…..y’all know it happens) and everything still works flawlessly. No issues with the electrical system, engine, or transmission. For the one reviewer here who said they had to replace the transmission, I’d like to know what their service history was. I’ve spoken with many owners of these vehicles and Titans (which is the Armada’s truck counterpart) and the transmission has never come up as a weak point. It actually shares the same transmission with the 370Z (though with different gearing appropriate for its intended uses, like towing) which is overbuilt to handle the Z’s rear wheel power output. It rides like a truck because it IS a truck. It’s a true, body-on-frame SUV, not a unibody crossover. Still, it’s very pleasant to drive, easy to maneuver, and very comfortable on long trips. My 15-year-old son has even commented on how much more stable it feels to him than other large vehicles he’s driven. Just know that tires matter. We use Michelin Defenders and they’re awesome on this vehicle. The power, smooth highway ride, towing capability, and comfort for a larger family which can all be had at a fraction of the cost of its competitors make this a true hidden gem. Research and review the history if you plan to buy one but just know that if you find a good one, it will service you incredibly well if you simply take care of it. You cannot beat it if you want a full-sized SUV with great reliability and minimal unscheduled maintenance needs. We’re still loving our Armada and I suspect we will hang onto it for a long time to come and see just how much mileage we can get out of it over the next ten years or longer. And for the record, I’ve owned 28 cars in the last 26 years, with a variety of makes and models represented in the collection. I don’t hang onto many of them for too long. This one will be tough to let go of anytime soon, even for me. That’s saying something.

We looked at this vehicle in 2006 and came close to buying it but bought the Murano instead. Decided to trade in Murano as we wanted more room for traveling. We are very impressed with it and the luxury feel. You barely feel the road or bumps underneath you. While we know gas mileage won't be terrific, the space and ride this gives is far worth a little extra gas. It turns and corners more like a small car than the large SUV it is. I am amazed at the turning radius. All the extras it comes with are great. The satellite nav is awesome and we LOVE the additional voice control. The bluetooth works great and the sound is really clear.I would highly recommend this vehicle. Awesome!

this is the best choice and value in a large suv dont bother with the tahoe or yukon no room on interior, no tow capacity cost 7-10M more for equel equipment expedition = no power, ugly sequoia = toy like dash, no handeling dont knock it till you drive it you must drive this vehicle to really appreciate the luxury

Shortly after our Armada was out of warranty, a rear AC line corroded through so the AC did not work. The part was installed in one piece, so the repair meant removing body from frame to replace it.....at a cost of $4,000.00! So far the company refuses to talk to me about it. Pathfinders have had the same design "feature".

I traded in an Infiniti FX35 that I never had a single problem with. I needed a vehicle that would tow my new boat and since the Infiniti (Nissan) was so good, I figured that the Armada would be the perfect choice. So far the vehicle has 210 miles on it and I have made a horrible mistake. There is a terrible shake from the steering wheel when the vehicle hits 65mph (I never took it that fast during the test drive). The lift gate doesn't shut tight without slamming it and pushing hard at the same time. I feel like my rear window will shatter some day if I have to keep this up. The driver's side rear view mirror begins vibrating at 40+mph and only gets worse the faster I go.

I'm coming from a 2007 Nissan Pathfinder and decided to upgrade to a larger SUV. I originally looked at the GMC Yukon but found for the price and rebate, the Armada was a better choice. As everyone has noted, the only complaint is the gas mileage. I also find that since it's a V8, it has more of a truck feel; which, I'm adjusting to. I've seen better navigational systems, but I'm adjusting. Overall, for the price, I believe I made the best choice!

My wife and I just bought this awesome car and are totally in love! I'm used to driving bigger vehicles but my wife is not and she whips around in this with ease. Still not bad fuel economy for the size and we can easily fit our 2 100 lb dogs, son, and other "stuff" in it with ease. We test drove all other similar class SUVs and NONE compare! Its hard to walk away from the Ford's when both my grandfathers worked for Ford in Dearborn, 1 worked with the first Henry Ford (I still have his test track pass for posterity). The infinity version does not justify the $7k add in our opinion. I would back this car 1,000%!

We liked the styling and features of the Armada when it first came out. Reliability was questionable at first but Nissan seems to have turned that around. After 1 year and 12,000 miles we've not had a single issue. We traded a 2001 Ford F350 Diesel for our 2010 Platinum (needed more seats) and couldn't be happier. This vehicle is very capable, roomy, comfortable, and is great for road trips as well as towing. I have a few nitpick complaints but overall my family and I are VERY HAPPY! Yes, the fuel economy is horrific but we knew that before we bought it and don't really care.

We shopped for the right SUV for over two years, looked at all of them. This vehicle provides the best of everything and ever-so-much of it too! Recognizing that we're traveling in truly deluxe comfort with satelite guidance, Bose stereo, and a movie theater we consider the gas mileage to be excellent; would we accept better mileage? You bet, but this is what we expected. The agility and power of this big machine makes it well worth its price, all the goodies that come with it are iceing on the cake. I have always had buyer's remorse after making such a big purchase, this time I don't. I have a 2000 Nissan Maxima with 230K + miles, I'm expecting the same from this new Armada.

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.

I love everything except the navigation, suspension and the dark dashboard during daylight driving. Suspension you feel everything steering wheel vibrates when going through bumps or pot holes. Navigation does not work while driving. Set-up that is you must stop, put in park and hand brakes in order to operate. Imagine driving with family kids want to watch another movie can't do it. Setup address can't do it. Nothing. Who ever design this was a total idiot. Imagine stopping on the interstate, side road with kids, some one hits you from behind. Is that not a safety issue. Who is really going to wait for rest stop or an exit specially 15 or 30 miles down the road lets be realistic. For the money it cos

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

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.

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!

I have been looking at the Armada for some time but could never find the right one. The guilt of paying so much was hard to take also. Finally our local dealership got the perfect one I had been waiting for. Sticker $52,250. I got it out the door for $44,000 (tax, tag, title, extended warranty). I love it and have no regrets. I am only 5'2" and was concerned it would be big for me but I feel perfectly at home driving it. I have not curb checked once! The memory seating is great also. Now I don't fuss about my husband resetting everything.
Awesome LARGE SUV

I did a lot of looking and research on SUV's before buying. Like another reviewer, I did not like that GM required a bailout and my prior GM SUV failed to impress. The 2010 Aramda caught my eye at a car show at the Texas State Fair. AWESOME TRUCK. Total price 37.7 k out the door for the Ttanium package w/DVD which includes leather and a lot of other upgrades over the base model. I got the Nissan cash incentives. This SUV has Blue Tooth for phones, Ipod jack, DVD player with wireless headphones, backup sensors and camera, road computer, and lots of storage. The acceleration, steering feel,handling, and braking are impressive considering the weight of the vehicle. It's awesome!
Couldn't be more happy!

The Armada has met our needs and surpassed them. It provides everything our growing family needs; space, comfort and reliability. The MPG is what we expected; we bought a large SUV knowing the gas mileage would not be excellent. Price you pay for a large SUV.
I luv my Mada

I traded in my 2001 QX4 infiniti for the FX35 after 1 month I wanted out of the FX35. I went to Sutherlin Nissan and the staff their was very helpful and worked out the perfect package for me to purchase the Armada Platinum 4x4. I love this truck, it rides well, it is comfortable, gas cost wise is pretty much the same as my QX4 as I was using premium gas.
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.
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.
Great vehicle

Pig on gas usage. Otherwise enjoyable, powerful even when towing a significant load. Platinum trim has all the extras needed.

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.

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....
LOVE MY ARMADA...LOVE IT!

My husband and I have always had a large SUV for road trips, hauling etc. When our Expedition was stolen in September, we really didnt want to go with another Ford. We looked at the Infinity QX56 but for the price decided it wasn't worth it. We looked at the Armada and fell in love with it, better price for very similar vehicle. Just wish it had better gas mileage, but you dont buy an SUV this size for great MPG's. Absolutely no regrets, if you want a roomy, comfortably and reliable SUV with power this is definitely the one.
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".
Great car

Love this car and ride. The only reason I want to sell is because it is wide and my eyesight has gotten bad. I have no periodical vision in my left eye, so it has gotten difficult for me.

The Armada is a nice vehicle. It's got good power when needed. I have the tow package so I can tow around my lawnmower and stuff in the spring and summer. It cabin is quiet and you hear very little road noise. The ride is a little tougher than I thought it would be, and it's averaging about 17 miles per gallon on gas.

These are fantastic vehicles, and you can into them more much less than you would expect. I took one as a rental unit on vacation with the family, and afterwards I started looking for a good used one. We had six of us and it was perfect.

Only had it 2 days with 89,000 miles on it ,so far no complaints. I will be using it to tow a 28 ft travel trailer that weighs 4,745 lbs. It has a towing pkg with tow mode capable of towing 9,000 lbs. I purchased a 3 yr 36,000 mi warranty with it,so we will see how it goes. They put $2,700.00in parts and labor in it before i purchased it. New tires,headlight,cupholder,evaporator,etc

We were looking for 2 years. Since GM and other USA car mgs were going BK..The Aramda (house on wheels) caught my eye at a routine stop at Nissan on my maxima. AWESOME/AMAZING TRUCK. Total price 42k out the door. Took the NISSAN cash and paid cash. This SUV has it all especially the IMPROVED Blue Tooth for phones. Real time traffic...power..you name it, it rocks!
