The overall size of the Armada makes me feel super safe, like I'm driving a tank. However, unlike a tank, it's surprisingly nimble and easy to park and maneuver. There are almost no blind spots at all, and the back-up camera is one of the best I've seen in any vehicle at just the right size and angle that parking is a breeze. It's also very powerful with a large V8 and no problem at all to pick up speed quickly with nice low end torque. As a photographer, I put a lot of miles on a vehicle and most would avoid a large SUV like this, but the gas mileage has averaged 17.9 per gallon, and it takes regular unleaded. More importantly, it fits all my gear in the back, and the seats fold down flat to accommodate my display walls with ease. The styling is classic in design, it's a bit on the boxy side but in a good way. Masculine meets elegance with leather and nice amenities is how I would describe it.

The 2014 Nissan Armada actually the second one that I've owned. I had a 2008 and loved it. I traded that in for a Nissan Maxima in 2010 because I was starting a job that was far from home and wanted the gas mileage that a car would provide. Out of all the vehicles I ever had though, the Armada was the one I missed after giving it up. I didn't even miss the Mercedes that I had before the 2008 Armada. The gas mileage for such a big vehicle is actually pretty good. I get 17 miles to the gallon and it doesn't seem to matter if it's in the city or on the highway. It's got tons of room and is so comfortable to ride in. My husband and I were in two car accidents one in my Nissan Maxima and one the year before in his Nissan Altima. Both times we were stopped at a light and hit from behind. After this last one, I told him "I want my tank back!" That's when I traded in my Maxima and got the 2014 Armada. I can not begin to explain how safe I feel now driving this "tank". It's easy to maneuver even though it's so big. It's got a great back up camera. We recently bought a thirty foot camper and it has had no problem towing it. Power and safety all in one bundle. I would recommend the Armada to anyone that wants the total package in a vehicle; safety, performance, looks, and comfort.
