If you like driving this SUV could be better. It's fully capable both on and off road and drives well in both environments. If you enjoy driving and a vehicle designed for the driver the Nissan Armada isn't it. Terrible fuel economy and poor ride quality. Not impressed with this vehicle and looking to trade into a Ford Expedition first chance I get.

Horrible Owner Experience

I purchased my 2017 Nissan Armada in September and it has been in the shop for multiple issues. I bought my Platinum Armada thinking i wouldn't have any issues for a long time to come. Well that was farther from the truth..... The issues started the day I took it home and its currently in the repair shop for 12 days now for a total of 3 trips now. I'm wondering if I made the wrong decision in buying a model in its first year on the market... because it has been in the shop for 23 out of the 40 days since the day I brought it home. I have been a loyal customer to the Nissan Brand for many years. I never thought that I would be writing a review about how unhappy I am with my Nissan Armada. Its just painful when you make a purchase of this magnitude and spend your hard earned money for a product that turns out to be a NIGHTMARE. Im not sure how this story will end but its already taken a toll on me. If I had to do it all over again I would have waited another year before buying the Nissan Armada. I have to say its looks nice with all the bells and whistles. When you can't drive your new vehicle without issues all of that goes out the window. Well I will have to wait to see how this all plays out and do a follow up to this review after I get my vehicle back. So stay tuned for part 2 of my saga!!!

First i always read reviews before buying anything, i gave this car a chance and i have to say that me and family love this car,the interior looks very nice ,the touch screen is a lil small for the size of the car but does the job Half tank of gas last a whole week, too many people complaining about the "poor gas mileage " that depends on how you drive. The seats are comfortable I would say 9/10 For me the ride quality is good enough is really smooth , huge visibility all around the car wich is very important for a big suv.

DO NOT BUY--TORQUE CONVERTER FAILURE NOT COVERED

Loved this car for the first four years for its power and ride. Then, it hit 5 years, 80,000 miles and the torque converter failed. This is a KNOWN defect subject to one of the many Technical Service Bulletins for this car; yet Nissan won't recall for the defect--it falls to you. Customer Service did not help. They put out junk, knowingly, and then don't stand behind it. Car will require a minimum repair of $3k--possibly more depending on what other transmission components have also failed. Nissan's powertrain warranty covers only 5 years/60k, a very poor warranty indeed for such a major component. Buy Toyota.
