Don't be tall!

Rented for four days in Ottawa for a business trip. Nice leather, wide seats, tall ride position. However, deal killer is entering the driver's seat. You absolutely cannot slide in without hitting your head or harshly contorting your body and heat. I would have considered this as a possible future personal vehicle but no way. Don't be over 6' tall. Fair warning.

Aged like milk in an Arizona garage

2019 Nissan Armada SV 4dr SUV (5.6L 8cyl 7A)

I have owned my 2019 Armada SV for almost 2 years now. It's an ok car but not really worth what I paid for it. It doesn't have a lot of features that I could have gotten in a car half the price. Other people must agree with my low assessment because the resale value is atrocious making it impossible to unload now that I have seen it's true colors. First the good. It rides really nicely, the seats are big and comfy, the rear legroom is amazing. The car looks really nice from a distance. Lot's of v8 power on tap for anyone willing to drop the hammer. Now the bad: The cargo area is small even with 3rd row laid down and has a slant to it b/c 3rd row doesn't fold completely flat. With 3rd row up, the cargo hold is smaller than in some midsize suvs. The entertainment center is not intuitive and doesn't include either Apple Carplay or Android carplay. To make simple changes in BT phone connection, you must go through several menus. If you forget before you take off driving, it's very unsafe to change it because the steering wheel controls aren't good. For example, there are no buttons on the backside of the wheel, everything is the face. The volume is a weird open toggle switch which I am surpised no one has accidentally spilled something into yet. There are separate buttons for dash display updates and entertainment center updates and no speed display on dash gauges despite there being a digital info center, I have a 2015 Dodge Journey and it has a digital speedo but this car that costs 2x as much doesn't have one. The paint is coming off of front edge of hood in tiny chips and a rust spot appeared on the rear hatch (I live in south Central US far from oceans or much roadsalt). The chrome can be permanently marred by simple bug strikes which means that if you own it long enough all the chrome in the grille area is going to have weird splattery effect to it. The wheels are an odd size making tire options harder to find and expensive. NissanConnect can't remote start or roll windows down unless you have a higher-end model. Also it's a $12-$24/month for the service. The collision sensors intermittently chirp for no reason but the dealer can never replicate it. The cruise automatically drops the speed 5-10 mph when going around even the slightest curves and will overbrake on hills and under accelerate on hills which causes the car to be accelerating and braking constantly even on interstates. I had someone driving with me in a convoy and they asked me to stop using it b/c they had to keep braking and accelerating nonstop to keep a decent distance behind me. The resale value is terrible. Dropped 25% in less than a year. It's probably 50% lower at this point and I bought it 2 years old with 40,000 miles which should have absorbed a lot of the depreciation. 2 years and 25,000 miles later, it's worth about as much as a toyota Camry with the same mileage and age despite Some of these problems don't exist with a newer Armada since they now have Carplay. Also it's possible that the remote start feature is now available at lower trim levels. So if you are looking for an Armada, I would skip the 2019 for sure.

Bought with much anticipation

We bought this vehicle after selling our daughter and her husband our 2011 GMC Denali. I have been extremely disappointed with the poor fuel economy of this vehicle. We took it on a road trip to Destin and every time we stopped for bathroom breaks we needed to refuel. It is a huge gas guzzler. Also it doesn't hold the road very well when you hit a bump in the road. It has a tendency to move and doesn't have the stealth to hold steady

This is a great SUV. First time ever I have purchased anything but a Chevrolet, but it was the best decision I have made. Much smoother ride and absolutely beautiful vehicle. Never have I had so many people ask about this vehicle - very sharp and great ride.

Better than a Tahoe....cheaper too

Just bought a 2018 Nissan Armada SL, upgraded from a 2015 Armada Platinum. The 2015 felt like a tank compared to the 2018. Reliable of course, but big and bulky, but I have zero complaints. Now the 2018 is fast, tech plenty and comfortable and very nice looking. The gear ratio is stock car fast out the gate, the drivers seat is nice, but I am 6'4" so its a little tight, not much. I love the Gunmetal Grey paint job, the adjusting headlights, the feeling of having a very nice SUV. And the 5.6 V8 will be tested when we go camping and haul the 5K pound bumper pull, I am sure it will do fine. Last, the 4WD features are sweet, which dont come with Tahoe or GMC trims normally unless you pay big bucks. The nice thing is that it is a 20k cheaper version of the Infinity SUV, but with all the same features. I bought Cooper Discoverer Plus tires and its rides great. The 7 speed transmission shifts smoothly and the dash layout is fine. I dont need fancy doo dads like the other SUV's have. Dont get me wrong, I love Tahoes, but they are priced through the roof, and this Nissan will give me over 200k if I take good care of it, and I will
