2009 Nissan Armada SE 4X4

Pros

Best when towing

Cons

The ride is incredible especially with shock absorbers and airbags

Purchased As Used

I own a 2004 Nissan Armada SE 4X4 and I am loving every minute of it. I have currently 82,000 miles on it and those were some very good miles spent on it. The towing capacity is incredible and it hauls anything with a trailer mount.I bought the SE because the LE was a little expensive but I did add a back-up camera to mine which is wired to a portable 8 inch touch screen navigation. It works great and I also love the BOSE system in it. I recommend anyone to buy this vehicle if they want a luxury SUV that seats 8 or 7 and they want their passengers to be comfortable. Try fitting 8 people comfortably in a chevy suburban, its not comfortable, my sister has one and everyone is squished. One thing I want to ask though is that my RSS (rear sonar system) on mine is not working properly. The orange light illuminates whenever i put it into reverse, any ideas?? But anyways I love the body shape and the engine and this vehicle is quick from 0-60 which is about 7-8 seconds. But really now come on people just go get an Armada or test drive it and you will be amazed. Keep going all ARMADA'S!!!...read morehide

Pros

Space, comfort, handling, exterior appearance, interior

Cons

Fuel economy (not bad for size of vehicle), drives more like a truck than some competitors

Purchased As Used

I have only had my Armada for 5 months but so far I love it. I had the dealer add leather to the SE package and it really dresses up the interior and is very comfortable. Even though it drives more like a truck than some of its competitors it does drive and handle nicely for its size. I would definitely recommend one to anyone who needs the size....read morehide

Pros

Power, room, handling, ride

Cons

brakes

Purchased As New

This is my 2nd Armada, after putting 100K on my 2004. I love both of them, and would have even kept the 04 if it didn't have so many miles. My other car is a 2008 Infiniti M35x and I almost like driving the 'Mada better...

Pros

Spacious, A lot of power on demand and a ton of cup holders

Cons

Seatbacks are except drivers are all material not plastic like the drivers

Purchased As Used

I love my Armada. I never really noticed them until we rented one, that was all she wrote I HAD to have one! Mine is red brawn. I don't care for the color in the shade but in the sunlight the metallic makes the pain pop. I LOVE the material of the seats, having had leather in just about every car I have ever had the cloth seats were a welcome change. I do wish that ALL of the seat backs had the plastic on the back like the drivers seat.
Even the base model comes with A LOT of extra's that would be pricey in other cars. My favorite extra is that both driver and passenger side windows have the express up.
I love the way this vehicle drives and I love the power. However having all of that power hurts the gas mileage luckily I don't drive very often.
Having six people in my family this vehicle is GREAT for hauling the kids around in. The center row seat has A TON of space. My Husband in about 6'4" and my kids are all very tall, they have plenty of leg space! I love that the center row can hold 3 full size car seats across without touching each other. Also TONS of cup holders and places to put toys, papers and what have you!!!!!
The first day I had my Armada people were chasing me to tell me how much they liked it. I get SO MANY complements. However, it does make it hard to go car shopping for my Husband or Parents. It looks so expensive people automatically think *money*....read morehide

Pros

Comfy, Good gas mpg for size, powerful, safe, stereo w/bose rocks

Cons

Rear a/c fan control, nuisance airbag light

Bought this in black in 2005. Added K&N Air Filter. Hwy mpg 22, city 16 and I don't baby it. Leather interior and comfy especially on long trips. Have 60K on it and love it. Unless really mashing on gas, K&N doesn't make a noticeable noise difference. Quiet ride. Have made several 1000 mile trips never any issues. Jack Skellington themed vehicle with mural on back gets plenty of looks. Gas mileage is in spite of this being 4wd. Worth the price if big is what you want or need....read morehide
