This 2012 Nissan Armada runs and drives, and that’s the good news. It’s not perfect, but it’s priced to move and built to get you from point A to point B and with a little luck, even point C. It’s got plenty of room, a strong V8 under the hood, and just enough personality to make you laugh every time you turn the key.

It smokes a little on cold mornings, kind of like Grandpa’s knees before his coffee, but once it warms up, it settles in and goes to work like a champ. If you’re looking for something practical, affordable, and a little bit of a character, this Armada is ready for its next adventure.
