2005 Nissan Armada User Reviews

Recommended! — I really love my Armada. It has 60k on it and still drives like a dream. All the bells and whistles, including back-up camera, navigation, sunroof, Bose 6-disc stereo, etc. I love all the space! Really powerful engine too, so no worries when you need to get up and go. Not great on gas if you don't drive strategically, but we get a solid 19 mpg on the highway.

Bigger Is Not Always Better. — We needed a car to carry 8 of us, so our 2007 Nissan Quest SE had to go. We thought we'd keep it in the family and find an Armada. We've always liked the look of the Armada because it's a little different. The interiors are very bland in color until you get to the 2008 year model and above. Very spacious interior and easy access to the 3rd row make it work well for our family with some growing boys. (The kids think it looks tough too.) The Armada has been a very solid machine, but I'm not taken in by it. I think it has a lot to do with these 3 items: 1. Interior is very bland. 2. The Gas mileage around town averages 10mpg. (and we've seen worse lately). 3. Does not seem to "glide" along as some of our previous cars. (Seems like you have to keep your foot in it to keep it rolling.) Now to be fair, I haven't 'dug' into this vehicle to see if there is anything specific that needs to be done to better the MPG numbers, etc. That is probably something I'll tackle this Spring. Stay Tuned...

Primary Use: Family transportation

Perfect For A Family With Short Commutes — Fuel mileage is pretty good for its size, but @ current gas prices it is very costly to fill up. All repairs are expensive on this vehicle. Few repairs have been needed, but even oil changes are more expensive. Other than that, it is wonderful. Comfortable, reliable, and attractive. We love this vehicle!

Primary Use: Family transportation

Not Bad For The First 18 Months - A Nightmare Ever Since — This car still stalls randomly (high speeds, low speeds, idling, pulling out in traffic and coasting). Quite a dangerous situation. Have taken it into Nissan 5 different times in an effort to cure the problem. Like pulling teeth with them to get a rental for me - even though I have the extended srevice warranty. People at Nissan Corporate are somewhere between clueless and careless. Last Nissan I'll ever own.
