Positive Review
I owned a Honda Pilot, Dodge Durango and Cadillac Escalade. The Armada SL is the best! The Armada drive is very smooth and comfortable. The city gas mileage isn't that bad, but it's excellent on the interstate, I fly by all the SUV competition with ease. The Armada hasn't changed the design since it came out, but why change perfection.
Critical Review
Feels like a tank. A lot of space in cabin but tiny trunk. Uncomfortable though, feels like your sitting in a rock

Handling. 8 seats. Massive rear space when second and third seat folded down flat.
Gas guzzler
Purchased my Armada new in 2013. Best SUV with room for 8 and massive rear space as second and third row fold down flat. Was able to transport my kids and all there friends to many places. Yes, it’s a gas guzzler but the trade off was well worth it
There is no lack of room in this ride! Plenty of storage, for cups and anything else you have. Just the right amount of power for the size of vehicle it is, that being said the gas mileage matches the power as well. Think I got 13-15mpg in town and 18-20mpg on the highway. Very comfortable to drive and the sound system stock is amazing id you have the Bose package. Only problem I had was the catalytic converters, they went bad and the cat is attached to the exhaust manifold. Suits quite a bit of time and labor. Plus my Armada was a Cali emissions vehicle. So quite a bit more than a set of standard federal cats. Prob 3500$ in total. Otherwise perfectly happy with this vehicle. I sold it because I bought a house with a standard 2 car garage, this is a tall vehicle and decent length. So I went with a Ford Edge, just for size convenience sake. Hope this helps!!
I have a 08 armada and I love it. I have 245,000 miles she’s and still going like a champ. Couldn’t have picked a better car on the lot
Great SUV for hauling people and cargo
Not Great Gas and no bluetooth
My friends have a 2011 Nissan Armada Platinum. It's an amazing 8 passenger SUV with plenty of room for people and cargo. Lots a great features especially the Platinum model. The only down side is that there is no bluetooth music streaming, no power lumbar support and no cooling seats and gas no not that great. It does have very comfortable leather seats with good support with heated seats and a heated steering wheel.
space, comfort
Unexplained tapping noise, warranty great to have
Bought mines brand new. With 4 boys all in school and sports, this vehicle came in handy. When it was alone time w/the Mr. It looked great going out and commuting w/friends. 2 boys, on their own, 2 boys in school and still rocking my ride with them. Seating space was large enough to double pack passengers, but didn't) Used just as well like a truck too.. Big family? I definitely recommend this vehicle
Power+, tows like a beast
Blind spots, definitely won't fit in tight spots
Big, beefy but surprisingly nimble. Tons of power at the ready. Not for the faint of heart. I stopped and chatted with a lady who had bought the newer (smaller) Armada and she looked at mine and said "that's the one I really wanted, the big one". My one serious complaint is the blind spots take some getting used to (and extra attention when merging, changing lanes and parking).
Fun To Drive
The engine nice V8
it is fun todrive and looks good as a beauty i love it the pricing is good the looks of are even cool
Fun, strong, reliable, good looking. I get lots of
Middle row, middle seat, does not recline.
The v8 flex drives like a truck with mega monster power. 222,222 strong machine. Of course I keep it well maintained. That helps. I expect it to run to 500k miles like I’ve seen others.
