Overview & Reviews
The 2008 Nissan Armada gets a number of updates, including a new grille and headlights, a restyled cabin with a more luxurious ambiance, and a number of high-tech features. The latter include keyless starting, Bluetooth capability and a navigation system with a hard drive that allows 9GB of storage for music files.
- Powerful V8 performance, plenty of room in all three rows, fold-flat third-row seat, very capable in towing and off-road situations.
- Still some subpar interior materials, less cargo space than competitors, poor fuel economy, less than ideal ride quality.

Still loving it! - 2008 Nissan Armada
By Zoomnbyu - January 6 - 10:56 pm16,000 miles later and we remain quite impressed overall. The gas mileage average to date is 14.8. A few issues required a trip back to the dealer (rt ft strut blown, bad coolant cap leaking), but everything has been resolved to our satisfaction. One quality note: the alignment from the factory was awful! The truck darted around over bumps and handled horribly at first. I performed an alignment myself. It made a HUGE difference in the trucks composure! The front AND rear suspension is adjustable. Request that all be adjusted and get a final printout! The Armada serves our needs to a "T". I have no reservations in recommending it to anyone needing a large SUV!

Love This Truck - 2008 Nissan Armada
By Yolanda - November 26 - 1:30 amI upgraded from a 2004 Jeep Liberty and I definitely made the right move. The most impressive thing about my truck is that it drives really smooth. I like that the rear windows roll all the way down and not halfway like other SUVs I have browsed in the same category.

Not Sure? - 2008 Nissan Armada
By Christy - June 5 - 12:43 pmJust purchased my new Nissan Armada a little less than two months ago and Ive already had it back at the dealership for service 4 times! Im a little disappointed because I love this vehicle and my husband it now wishing we would have stuck to a Chevy or Ford! I have had the sound system already replaced because the back four speakers never worked, the sunroof worked on because of the loud rattling noise it made as you drove down the road and it had only been opened twice and Ive also had problems with my windshield wipers/washers and its not even due for the first oil change yet! This is my first Nissan and they have yet to prove to me what they stand for!

Great Truck - 2008 Nissan Armada
By edmercedes - May 25 - 3:10 pmLove the space, great improvement from the 04 ride, not as bumpy, a more plush drive. Still drives like an SUV but does not rattle as much as the earlier models. Great improvements on the panels and quality of materials. Being a previous owner of the 04 and 05 models I can assure you this is a great improvement. Love the ride. Love my truck!

Hardcore - 2008 Nissan Armada
By William - February 18 - 11:36 amI have owned nissans for years. I owned an 04 Armada and loved it. I purchased my 08 and love the new dash and interior. The new truck is a smoother ride than the 04, but I liked the stiffness of the 04 when it comes to hard cornering. The power lift gate is the bomb!!! I had 60K on my 04 without any major problems. Great improvement on the seat support.

If Only... - 2008 Nissan Armada
By Audrey - January 1 - 6:33 amI have huge mixed feelings about the Nissan product. I love the styling and the power, but there is no doubt about it, my Armada is a piece of crap. It must have been built on a Friday when everyone wanted to go home. Within the 1st year of ownership, the brakes squealed horrendously, the radiator had to be replaced because it was cracked, the rearview mirrors would not adjust upward, the transmission would shift roughly, the steering would shake while braking, and the list goes on. It took 6 trips to the dealership to finally convince them the radiator needed replaced. Now, there is a loud rattle when accelerating, the car needs a front- end alignment, and Im stuck because of the economy

The BEST Full Size SUV - 2008 Nissan Armada
By SacMada - September 27 - 1:06 pmResearched full size SUVs for 2 yrs and the hands down winner is the Armada. Great engine power & drivetrain that is silky smooth. Plenty of towing power with 317hp & AWD function. Very nice cabin touches with up to date technology & styling. The ride is stable and feels safe to haul family & friends. This SUV just looks so right coming down the road. Armada - Just what a full size SUV should be!

Living large and loving it! - 2008 Nissan Armada
By Zoomnbyu - June 14 - 6:36 amWe replaced an 03 Expedition. We went with the Nissan because we could get it equipped pretty much exactly the way we wanted it. Almost a thousand miles later we have really fallen for this truck. A few quibbles so far would be only a couple of interior fit issues and a booming noise in gear at idle. I would complain about the gas mileage, but that would be pointless! You get what you get in MPG when you buy a behemoth like this (I rated comparable economy). With three kids, frequent family trips and a boat that gets used nearly every weekend in the summer this quickly becomes the ultimate family vehicle!!!

Love my 08 want a 2010 - 2008 Nissan Armada
By RECHELLE - March 31 - 7:10 pmI love my 08 armada, went from a 06 Toyota 4-runner to the armada for more room, 3rd row seating, & better ride. Discovered that it drove a lot better by 100%. We had no children at the time of purchase but had 3 dogs. Great family vehicle for evacuations from Louisiana & vacations, dogs love it. Didnt buy extended warranty at time of purchase because wasnt sure if Id be satisfied & keep it past 3 years/36,000 mile warranty. Now after 2 years & 4 months & over 31,000 miles with now 4 dogs & 1st baby on the way any day now Im ready for a 2010 with extended warranty this time. We looked at the Yukon & Tahoe but the seats dont fold down into the floor to make the back completely even.

Awsome SUV - 2008 Nissan Armada
By peppershaker - September 24 - 3:00 pmI bought this used with the intention to buy a new Chevy SUV, but after owning an Altima for 8 years and putting 175000 miles with no problems. I had to test drive the Armada so we did and liked it much better than the Chevy Tahoe. I have three kids and they have all the room in the world to move around and we are getting ready to buy a new camper so the towing cap. was very important to us. We get about 15 miles to a gal in the city with the k&n filter in it . We love this SUV. If youre looking for a dependable truck this is it. We will drive this one for ten years and put 200000 miles before we need to buy another.
