For the design, this is actually base on personal taste, like myself, I don't like the Accord design at all, found it just too ugly for such a big car (no any hard feeling towards Honda or Accord owner). For Teana, I won't say it is a real beauty or what, just I can accept the design, at least it is smoother and the interior is minimalist and very comfortable to sit in. As for the rain hitting to roof noise, actually did you find any different in between Toyota, Nissan or Honda or even the Mercedes and BMW? Honestly I don't know whether the Teana has any sound proofing material inside the hollow section of the roof, but in my house got another new Mercedes E250, I did drive this quite often and found almost no different in between my Teana and the E250 when raining, so maybe the E250 also has no any sound proofing material inside the hollow section of the roof.

Bro wc5599, I am not very well verse in sound systems. You mean just installed (addition) the MBQ active sub? No need to remove/replace any of the existing components? And is so, how big is the active sub and where do you install them?

Is it the latest Kia Optima? You test drive with trade plates or wht?

Yes i expect the acceleration to be a bit sluggish as the car is heavy. Its 0-100kmph is only 10.9 secs which is poor. Im afraid fc will suffer.

How's the NVH compared to teana?

Thats why im asking . DID IT HAVE TRADE PLATES???

Hi assange, i got the same issue with you... Once my 2.0L Teana reaches 160km/h, the entire car will start to shake till i not dare to go faster.
Some people told me it's because of balancing, I not sure it's true... So did you found the solution yet?
Hi All Teana users, I thinking to change my Hologen light bulb to Osram Night Breaker Plus. Any recommendation where should i go for best price in town? And do you all know what is the size of the light bulb Teana 2.0L using? H1, H4, H7, H11....

Thank you.

Hi Bro, because it's cheaper and legal =)
And changing to HID might trouble the warranty as well.
Anyway, thanks to your advice.

What about petrol consumption? Does it effect too much? Need to consider this too since i travel at least 200 km perday on this car.....

Hi bro, where did you put in your active sub? any good active sub recommendation?

Any bro here got any tips to clean the teana interior which is beige color?

Bro, does it void the warranty for cutting the wire to install it? Or you able to do it without cutting any wire?
