the outlook is a bit conservative...

but if the specs are good, then should be no problem...

maybe can fight with mazda6 or mondeo 1st, dont direct target hot sales like camry and accord....

sorry. 2.5 typo error. BTW if this works then hopefully the SEI FEI LO legendary era come back... Wah, another handsome looking car. What i know Noise insulation on these TEANA's would be very much better than Camry or Accord. Die lah camry getting old loh

Tan Chong is Old uncle company mah., you dont know meh? All cars look old because they are from the time of the Dinosaurs. They were roaming the land even before cars came to life... Haha... Tan Chong is like that one. bring in old model so that they can make more money from you who buys the car by giving you an old design. So if you are uncle buy the TEANA.

i was at the guest preview in horizon hills last july, my take would be go for the higher cc one, VQ25DE V6 engine with all the goodies.
the interior is awesome, and as usual space and comfort rules. just too bad, no sun roof but i can live with it.
exterior, the front will grow on ya..and i love the rear view. my prefered colour is white, kinda looks like s class from far lol.

Had a go in the Teana when I was down in Singapore and I'd definitely choose this over the Accord and Camry. Beige interior might not go down well with some folks though, but the NVH and smoothness makes up for it.

The design is very dated, the usual front grill in every model and the back looks like Camry. Be creative pls Nissan.

Why Tan Chong is very slow ? This is thing is roaming in Thai for about 2 years already ? Btw interior is okay but exterior is kinda weird.

rode this in singapore before. Really really nice car. Much better than camry. But Camry also ok lah. This one more class a bit. BTW singapore got quite a number.

The previous version also very good. This one nicer look. But Malaysia one dont know what uncle tan chong will do to the car.

Have been waiting too long for Teana to reach Malaysia, the design is quite awsome few years back, but now... Maybe is the asemble facility issue here.

The Fuga looks much nicer (i thought it would be Teana replacement)...

No way a Fuga is replacement of Teana.

Fuga is RWD, closer to E class.

Teana is FWD, and design wise, from Nissan Intima concept.

Yes, Fuga is not a replacement model for Teana as the Fuga series is targeted at the high end of the market. BTW Fuga looks like the Infiniti Essence ??

So far it is still a discussion. The contact details are in his signature and that does not break any rules yet. I don't see any price listed therefore it is not a sales thread until a price is put up.

This teana is much better than accord or camry.

Superb comfort and build quality.

Accord 2.4 underpower like hell. I think this generation accord is the worst ever made by honda. camry 2.4 is much better than accord but no whr near the quality of teana.

Whatever you do, dont get the 2.0 sure underpowered . Get da 2.4 version.

This Teana was launched late last year, I first saw it was in China in March 2010. And I found this Teana is better looking than Honda Accord in every angle, I found the Accord look like "sweet potato". And at the moment, this Teana is selling more unit than Camry and Accord in China. So I think this car sure should have something special that can attract so many buyers. In Malaysia, can it beat the so call T & H, no one knows, but Nissan is selling more cars than Honda globally at the moment.

In Malaysia, a lot of buyers do not buy a car based on price/specs/features and stick to the hard facts. Sometimes, it simply boils down to the brand. I find that some buyers buy the Camry over the Accord not because of the specs, but because it's a Toyota.

So the new Teana is a litmus test of sorts for the Nissan brand in the D segment.

I agree with you if you are talking about Malaysia situation. For marketing, I think Honda had most advertisements if compare to Toyota and Nissan. And Honda also spent a lotof money in advertisements, but the return isn't too optismistic for me. If you want to talk about marketing, I think Toyota is the champion.

its around:

2.0 = RM 145k +-
2.5 = RM 175k +-

but recently some Sales agent say the price MAYBE

2.0 = < RM 140k
2.5 = < RM 170k

so, just wait 3 more days to confirm everything drool.gif

You need to test drive both to feel the difference. My father decided to bught the Accord after comparing it with Camry. Accord is better overall interms of most aspects such as handling, performance, looks etc. Camry just looks to bloated and the latest facelift somehow looks desperately Audi wannabe. In terms of design, one of the most visible design aspects that you could see is the window line of both cars and you can easily differentiate which one is a real gem wub.gif . Camry 2.0 also got an old school 4 speed tranny opposed to Accord's 5 speeder.

My personal experience going head to head with my father's Accord and a Camry, from 0-190 km/h Camry don't have a chance at all to even sniff my Accord's tail flex.gif . As speed builds the gap is also increasing. Also Camry can't take corners as hard as Accord could. C'mon man, I thing I can say is Toyota now is not like Toyota of yesteryears doh.gif . In almost every Toyota cars models (models that UMW brought in) the engine will be less powerful than the Honda cars of respective segments like:
City 125PS : Vios 109PS

Accord 2.0 156PS : Camry 2.0 147PS

Accord 2.4 180PS : Camry 2.4 167PS

Civic 1.8 140 PS : Corolla Altis 1.8 140PS (civic betters in terms of torque by 1nm tongue.gif )

Jazz 125PS : Yaris 109 PS
& Etc.... ( i didn't compare the civic hybrid and the prius due to Prius'es bigger engine ( by 500cc), price) rclxub.gif

Hopefully people won't come and bash me. I'm not just a Honda fan i'm also Suzuki, Nissan man etc and only god knows how i admire the TOYOTA Supra rclxm9.gif . I'm just stating the facts. Wake up people! yawn.gif . Wake up.....

dont slap ur head too hard. accord started without a higher 2.0 spec too, but to remain competitive in msian market they got one out soon after. Teana too will also have a higher spec-ed 2.0 later on. reason? bcos consumer wans it, they will have it.


Added on November 21, 2010, 11:34 pmthe new 5 series looks kinda like camry from behind. contis r stealing japs idea back now LoL

anyway be it camry, accord or sonata. they r all winners in thier respective groups. its your money, you will be paying for the installments. its your choice.

this is teana thread, dont stray too far boys. or ehem...uncles smile.gif

Of course i know its his own review from his own experience. Arent we all mostly commenting based on our experience or knowledge? Kinda silly to state the obvious rite?

Opinions are always appreciated. But it should be taken across many factors not just by comparing horse power alone. I think thats silly when there are many more important factors e.g ride comfort, after sales service, resale value, specs, price, etc

not to say that i am biased against any particular car manufacturer here. before we even go into compare which car is better let me ask you all a question.

- How on earth a Philippine CBU focus TDCI can be priced around the melaka 2.0civc or the new tom yam striped down 2.0 DVVTi Altis???

- How a Belgium imported Mondeo just has a price gap of 9k with those camry or accord?

- I dont even want to bother comparing the price of the new dugong

totally dissappointed with their blood-sucking move. ETCM, although is abit late to bring in ur Teana but still it still stand fairly well with its own niche market just like the new sonata YF. Your market segment is those anti T n H followers who wan to own a D-segment car.

for me, if i got the dough i either consider the mondeo, teana and sonata.

p/s: i am expecting my 1st ever ford experience with the TDCI focus by CNY next year

Very competitive? I dont think so. The Camry 2.0E is priced RM 145K which is only 7K more expensive than the Teana. If u want to match the Camry/Accord you have to ensure your cars are priced at least 12-15K cheaper. Nissan is making the same mistake as Hyundai did with their Sonata. How many Sonata's have u seen on the road since its launch?

Plus everybody knows that Nissan will keep the same model for at least 8-10 years and keep modifying it like that they're doing with the Sentra. This thrashes its resale value.

Im sure we wont be seeing many Teana's on the road. Plus ppl already know that the new Camry is due out in early 2012.

yes i agree, in terms of comfort, i think this car is better than the current camry and accord.

things that i like:
- v6 2.5l engine
- 6 speed gear box ... alas from the diagram it seems to deploy belt, cvt requires additional cooling oil, not sure whether tahan lasak or not
- interior comfort

things i dun like:
- 16" wheels for 2.5 ,,, aiyaaaa shud be 17" at least maaa
- the indon model comes with a full screen monitor + reverse camera, not sure whether the local model has these, if tak'ada .. bummer ...

No, that's not the same model, this one is the newest model, the former was the old Teana!

Brother, this is Nissan lar, not Kia or Hyundai lar, this car in China selling price is higher than Camry and Accord, but it can outsell Camry and Accord lar. Please go and search first lar.

Why should i search and compare car sales in other countries? Ive said many times that we are talking about MALAYSIA A car which does well overseas may not do well in Malaysia because of local conditions.

Exactly. I cannot understand why other car manufacturers cannot understand that. So far only Kia has realised and acted on that with their Forte.

You are asking a car company selling more car than Honda worldwide to sell their car with lower price than their rivals in Malaysia with more than 20%. Didn't you find it a bit funny? As for KIA, actually the Forte price is also lower around the world lar in C-segment car, not only in Malaysia.

Who cares about Honda? Im comparing with Toyota. And im refering to the economics in Malaysia only. The rule of thumb is if any car manufacturer wants to do as well as Toyota in Malaysia, then it has to ensure that their prices are much lower and their specs better. If they cant, then be prepared for lower sales and dont complain about Malaysian metality, etc. Of course dont compare luxury models like BMW or MERC.

teana thread. pls dont talk about other topics. if u must, create own thread.

i went to the puchong nissan showroom. got launching there with lotsa balloon n snacks. went to see the actual car, interior colour is abit too light coloured. and as usual conservative nissan interior. the back looks nice, quite sporty with the tail lights.

interior still not as spacious as the accord, but bigger than camry. in fact after driving the accord, camry looks like a smaller sedan biggrin.gif

but at 138k starting price, i would say its a good buy. i say this before and will said it again. if i was looking for another luxury saloon, teana will be on top of the list.

its a reliable brand, with reliable reputation. shld be a good choice.

Hi, I haven't got the chance to see the real car because I just came back from China, I'll be going there on this Saturday to test drive the car. I did ask some China people that I know over there why they chose Teana instead of Camry and Accord, and the answer is almost the same, because the Teana is the most comfortable in between these 3 cars, handling is ok, better than Camry, but some said Accord handling is better, but who cares the handling, because those people who decide to buy this kind of car, the most important factor sure is the level of comfort. But anyway, I got to see the car first and test drive it first.

I think its you who needs to understand how forums work. I never said DONT comment did i? When u comment, be prepared to hear someone's counter comment. Its not about acceptance or tolerance. Its about speaking with facts. If u dont want people to make remarks on your comment, then dont comment in the first place. As long as you put your opinion on the forum, there will be those who will support it or oppose it. Being matured is not just about accepting supporters but also accepting those who might not agree with your comments. Ive always argued with facts and thats how i will continue to respond.

Cheers!

Yes, ride in terms of drive and handling, accord is slightly better than teana and camry, particularly in road tracking n cornering at higher speed. Comfort wise, teana seems better. The cbu 2.5l from japan was selling at rm235k if i am not mistaken. So if the local assembled 2.5l is reasonably done, i wud say rm168k is still an attractive price. These are just my opinion of coz.

Well i am test driving this on monday. It's either teana or accord for me. Or maybe the 2012 camry danggg!!!

Please do come back with yr inputs on yr test drive. Much appreciated.

Yes Camry will be out in 2012. First u consider a 92K Inspira and then all of a sudden u can jump to a 138K Teana just like that? That shows that u dont have any real planning when it comes to cars.

Yes, indeed the physical gear nob and slot is not gated like the camry, so it does look kinda old school .. hehe!!

But from what i read, cvt is actually a more advanced gear system. CVT = continuously variable transmission = xtra smooth gear changes. If u look at the teana physical gear, it only has :

PRND

The normal lower 3, 2, 1 gears are missing. But you will see there is a +- slot (like in sports mode) where u can up or lower gears on the fly making 3, 2, 1 redundant. CVT technology is actually inherited from the nissan murano if i am not mistaken.

I still have one negative perception (i may be wrong) tho .. hehe ... nissan's body & finishing usually is not as good as honda or toyota tongue.gif

Hi, yes I also heard that kind of thing, but that was real long time ago story, now I can't see any Nissan with bad body finishing, last time I think Nissan was making great engine, super durable, but body kinda light and tend to get rusted easily, it was 80's era problem. Now I can see that newer Nissan body and finishing if not better than Toyota, but I can say it is on par with those rivals!

visited Toyota & Honda last few weeks. Camry & Accord did not give any surprises to me...Just 'Oh! car big.'
Yesterday went to Nissan to see Teana. At 1st, thought of no surprise on this car. But when walk in the showroom, and saw it - WOW! BIG car! As usual, Teana appearance is not that outstanding compare to Camry or Accord. But the interior of it really nice, comfort, and huge! Now...I am thinking of whether to shift my Sylphy order to Teana happy.gif

For that price i would rather go for a BMW 3 Series with much superior technology and specs. Although internal space is limited compared to the Teana.

you cannot say like that. Maybe initially he never intend to buy any car but the inspira. Then suddenly he saw this car and took it for a drive and loved it so much and wanted to buy it. Nothing wrong what. financial sense. i believe everyone has their way of doing things. Maybe initially he thought of not buying a more expensive car. but now he has found the one he wants. Ok what

The one you see in sunway is passat cc, passat cc in malaysia is for 4 bosses going for lunch only. The passat china launch and coming soon is the passat sedan. which was also sold here last time. but not the new model. And also coming soon passat cc will have 5 seater as well.

Today I went to SS14 Nissan HQ to test drive the Teana. First, I went to
Honda showroom first to test drive the Accord again, then second to Toyota for the Camry and third to Nissan for the Teana and last for the Sonata, and yes, Accord NVH is the worst in between Teana, Camry and Sonata. But handling is the best in between these 3 cars and the most uncomfortable ride as well. Camry is a lot better than the Accord for the NVH and comfortable too. But Teana is the best in between these 4 cars. Teana have the best interior layout, every button in well in place and clean, interior material also the best compare to other 3 cars. I thing I must mention is the Teana seats is really comfortable to sit plus the quietness cabin, this is a real winner. As for the Sonata, I found that have nothing special to talk about, except the good looking and cheaper price. Handling, it is slightly better than Camry, but Teana and Accord is better. For NVH, it is still sligtly better than Accord, but totally lost out to Teana and Camry.

hosiery2u, michaelzolt,

How do you feel about teana's build quality compared to the accord? When I drove the 2.5l test car at nissan oug, I had the nagging feeling that it was loose and relatively less sturdy. The perception I had is like well, after 3 yrs the accord will still have firm fittings while I suspect teana would be rattling at the end of 2 yrs.

I do like the teana very much. It's just this weird sense that's holding me back tongue.gif

Hi there, that day I have tested the Teana 2.0 and 2.5 and I didn't hear anything noise in the cabin or something loose, I think that what you heard that day probably is something that not fix properly, I think that shouldn't be any problem. As for the Accord, the tyre noise is quite obvious when driving through the rough road, so very hard to detect the internal cabin noise such as the dashboard, plastic, or cabling loosen. Right now I'm waiting to see whether to get the Teana 2.0 Lux or 2.5 model. After Driving this Teana, I have no longer interested in the Camry or Accord.

He wasnt refering to any rattling sound la. He was refering to a subjective feeling of lack of sturdiness la.

If ure not desperate for a car, then i would suggest you wait for the new Toyota Camry. It will be released worldwide Q4 2011 and should reach us by Q1 2012. Its a complete overhaul of the existing model with newer engines and a new generation 6 speed gb.

Dude, 2012 is a little bit too long for me to wait, because until now I still not yet see any picture of the new Camry, so will it be nice or conservative look, I have no idea. After Camry, I think there will be new Accord to follow and probably another 2-3 years another new Teana will be launching, so keep waiting will be endless.

Waiting for something better will always be a wiser option than rushing into something which looks good now. There are actually many ppl waiting for the new Camry. Check out the foreign motoring blogs in the US and ull see how many are putting off their purchases just for the new Camry.

Nissan can launch a new model anytime but it will probably only cause a ripple but when Toyota launches a new flagship model it becomes a wave. There is a reason for that. If u can understand that reason then it'll be worth a wait. But if u dont and if u need a new car urgently, then no problem.

I've just sat on my cousin's 2 years old Accord (the latest 2.0 model), driver side door panel having rattling sound non-stop while the car is moving (something loose for sure), speaker board at the back and dashboard having vibrating and rattling sound as well. Honda quality? Totally out of my expectation sweat.gif

There will always be a few cases of quality issue. No such thing as a perfect car. But if these quality issues happen across many units and becomes common, then it becomes an issue. 1 off issues like this shouldnt be taken as a yardstick.

If rattling sounds are such a big concern, what would your comment be for the 12 units of the latest model Ferrari 458 catching fire in 6 countries within 3 months of its launch?

Well, let's command on mine 10 FL Civic then, 5 months old and rattling sound everywhere. I've joined some Civic forum and club and majority of the owners are suffering the same problem. No doubt, Honda's quality is going down this recent years, at least for our region (CKD), no argue with that.
I'm stated that because people are asking about that, are they asking about firing upon Ferrari now?

yes maybe Honda's quality is going down. But then again, even 2004 Honda City's have many problems as well.

Ahahaha if i am paying close to rm170k for a car, i do expect the fittings to be sturdier. Like i said the teana is a fine car, very smooth, very refined.

But i do find that even the peugeot 407 and the accord have a sturdier interior than the teana; when im driving, the feel of the fittings is more tight and solid.

u r right. the teana doors r lighter than accord. door opening/closing also feel less sturdier. interior r much compact than it appears on the brochure. the SA in puchong said himself the sylphy backseats give legroom than the teana. teana front seats also r tighter squeeze.

Ok,had a chance to test drive the Teana 2.5 v6!

My goodness,what a good car this is to drive.It is just so refined ,so silky smooth,so quiet the gearbox is just oh so nice to drive!

Interior quality is top notch,fittings all feel very solid.Much better than the cheapskate Accord,the boring Camry and the Mazda 6

100X better than the Sonata,Accord and Camry & Mazda 6

ITs so quiet,I thought I was sitting in a Lexus .

Seriously if I was considering a car in that class,I WOULD grab the Teana without hesitating.What a good good car! at a good price

No wonder,the other day just a day after launch,I saw 5 Teanas on the road.There was even a 3.5 version which i saw!

Better to get a new car rather than a recon. Peace of mind maa, warranty n in most instances u dun hv to worry much about maintenance for the next three yrs.

Yes indeed, if later when the multi touch screen with reverse camera and navigation map comes in, it would be sweet. By the way, the teana comes with twin exhaust pipes, that is extremely sedap too!

Resale values drop because of 2 factors regardless of brand:

1) age
2) launch of newer models

But to say that the resale value of the Teana will be better than the Camry isnt true as well as resale values are dependent on demand.

Today afternoon I went to Honda showroom again to test the Accord with 2 of mine colleagues and later went to Nissan for the Teana again. After driving the Accord, I still find the Accord NVH isn't good for a car at this level, too bad for the Honda. And I purposely test the door for the Accord since quite a few forummer said Accord doors are heavier than the Teana one. After I tried to close and open a few times, I have found Accord doors and Teana doors weight quite similar, not much different, when close the Accord door (front), I found the sound isn't that solid, the Teana, when close the door, you can hear a very solid "thoomp" sound. But the Accord sound is "thuungk", different from the Teana. 2 of my colleagues also found the same result.

if i plan to buy a teana, and teana price will increase 7000 by next year, do u think is it worth to buy it now or 2011 ?

i plan to use it for at least 7 years smile.gif

lets say 2.0 high spec, 142k if buy now, 2011 is 149k smile.gif

the 2nd hand value will differ much ? lesser or greater than 7k ?

The same tactic was used by Mazda for the M3. They said price will increase after the initial few months and they went ahead and increased by about 3K if im not mistaken. But later when they realised that it didnt work, they starting offering RM3k in overtrade.

If Nissan plans to increase the Teana's price by 7K and NOT offer any overtrade and discounts after that, then it would be wise to go for it now since the loss in resale value for a 2010 model will be covered by the 7K price increase in 2011 models.

But knowing Nissan and their habit of offering discounts and over trades as it is with the Sylphy and Sentra, is should be the same case for the Teana in future.

i have bought s Sylphy few months back and my brother is deciding whether to get the Teana or the Accord now.....

I have been driving the Sylphy for few months now and i m very happy with the card in terms of FC and NVH....i could clock 450-500k on city driving and 700km on highway......as for the new Teana....how does the car fair compares to the Accord or Camry?

By the way....previously i thought highly of the NVH of my car when compares to the Civic until a friend of mine who has spent 2k on sound proofing on this Civic....with a mere RM2k ...the NVH of the car is as good as a BMW 5 series....its really really quite and the road noise is cut down by a big margin....is there any disadvantage of doing sound proofing as i really wonder how come we pay 100+ for a car and yet the NVH of the is so bad just a mere sound proofing could improve it tremendously....

Getting 450-500km in city driving for a 52L fuel tank is just normal i guess. Just for your info, a Toyota Vios with a 42L fuel tank can easily get 550km in 100% city driving. But of course the Sylphy weighs more.

Were u born blind? Did u not see me mention that it was for his info only? Did u not also notice i mentioned the difference in weight? vmad.gif

My post was mainly to inform him that getting a 450-500km mileage in 100% city driving is normal. I used a Vios as a matter of comparison since i knew the exact figures. U can also get such consumption with an Altis or a Civic.

The same tactic was used by Mazda for the M3. They said price will increase after the initial few months and they went ahead and increased by about 3K if im not mistaken. But later when they realised that it didnt work, they starting offering RM3k in overtrade.

If Nissan plans to increase the Teana's price by 7K and NOT offer any overtrade and discounts after that, then it would be wise to go for it now since the loss in resale value for a 2010 model will be covered by the 7K price increase in 2011 models.

But knowing Nissan and their habit of offering discounts and over trades as it is with the Sylphy and Sentra, is should be the same case for the Teana in future.

overtrade means high trade in ? i sold my car already sweat.gif

My post was mainly to inform him that getting a 450-500km mileage in 100% city driving is normal. I used a Vios as a matter of comparison since i knew the exact figures. U can also get such consumption with an Altis or a Civic.

I finally got to see the Teana up close and personal. Now im truly convinced that the Teana will not do very well here in Malaysia. The shape is weird at the back and it has this old uncle'ish look. The interior leg room is average. The rear leg room is less than the upcoming Hyundai Avante for sure. The doors arent as solid as i was made to believe after reading some posts above. I think the Sonata has a better feel to it. The Teana is 1 car that will cause ppl to look now when its new but give it about 6 months and it wont attract much attention anymore.

Sonata? Hell that's going to be the last on my list if I were to choose for Teana and Sonata. Engine is horrible, sluggish and underpowered for a 2.0 car (Sonata).

Don't cry when City overtake Sonata when you're going uphill to Genting.

The Teana on the other hand has the luxurious feel and no doubt Nissan engine is reliable and powerful.

Have u driven the Teana 2.0 or are u merely quoting something biased? the 2.0 Sonata may be sluggish due to the weight of the car. Just like the 1.6L Forte is sluggish also.

Dude, where did you get the fact that the new Hyundai Avante will have better rear leg room? And the door aren't solid? What car you compare to? Mercedes or BMW or Audi? If you compare to Hyundai Sonata, I can comirm that the Teana is more solid, maybe you will feel the Sonata door "heavier" but actually I have tried it, I found the Hyundai made the door joint more "feedback" and make the door a liitle harder to close and mislead a lot of people that Teana door not solid enough. I'll reckon you close the door with certain amount of power, you will hear what is actually "solid" is!

Driven both. The engine of the 2.0 Sonata is definitely more sluggish and rougher if compared to the Teana. It's not the weight of the car, it's the engine itself. You can feel it through the revs.

I spent about 30 mins with the Avante during KLIMS. I sat in every seat too. I also shuttled in between the Sonata and the Avante to get a better comparison.

Solidness is different from difficulty in closing the door. I know that difference well enuf. Im depending on the feel of the door during closing and opening. Anyway, its just my feel. Either way, im not impressed with the Teana. Maybe my expectations were raised after reading all the comments here. The rear design actually looks bad when ure much closer to the real model in comparison with photos. The bumper is really out of place and too big.

Anyway, we'll let the sales figures decide on its popularity.

i think sonata has a appealing outer shell. but engine is still of the older batches. still needs time to prove its durability and reliability. jap cars in the other hands have been proven.

i think we as buyers should be end users instead of joint-r&d researcher with auto car makers biggrin.gif

The Sonata has 165HP compared to the 136HP of the Teana. Torque is also higher for the Sonata. Plus the Sonata is 51kg lighter. Are u sure the Sonata 2.0L feels sluggish compared to the Teana? Maybe its the unit u test drove. I dont see how the Sonata can be more sluggish and underpowered compared to the Teana.

The term 'better car' is not set in stone.

I for one, would not use popularity to judge how good a car is. The average Malaysian is usually poorly informed technically, and do not possess knowledge that the average petrolhead has. Most of the times, they chase brands rather than what the particular model has to offer.

I would hitch popularity to resale value, but not to how good a car is.

I can't tie the delivery back to the figures in the spec sheet. The delivery is not as smooth as what I get in the Teana, and I know on paper a difference of almost 30 HP is substantial but I don't know where the Sonata misplaced that 30HP. Maybe it's hidden in the upper reaches of the rev band, as I didn't thrash the car that hard.

I myself have been tested the Teana and Sonata, I wouldn't say that the Sonata is really sluggish, but the engine refinement is no way near the Teana. When you push the Sonata above 4K RPM, you can hear the rough noise from the engine, but in the Teana, you push the engine until 5K RPM, the engine still very refine. And some one talked about the Sonata sluggish, I know what they mean because I did test it before, I think the 2.0 L engine of the Sonata not really match with the 6-speed gearbox. When you push the Sonata harder, you will feel the RPM climbing a bit slower, not responsive enough, while the Teana, when you kick the pedal to the metal, the RPM straight away climb very fast, so you will feel the Teana is more responsive than the Sonata. I have no chance to test the 0-100km/h for both cars, so I can't give much comments.

I wouldn't dismiss the Sonata based on this though, only the 2.0 version. It suffers from the small engine-big car syndrome where you get the feeling the engine wasn't really meant for the car. The standard Sonata came as a 2.4, maybe that will fare better. But if we do bring the 2.4 Sonata out to play, it will come against the Teana's highly rated 2.5 V6. And there is only going to be one winner in that ballgame.

I also tested the Soonata, and found that the 2.0L has higher HP and torque, but when driving it, this isn't the same as on the paper, I also found the Teana is much responsive, hence feel Teana has more power and torque, but on paper isn't the case. So if really want to know which car is more responsive and more power, please go to test it, don't just read it on the paper!

I think the issue is the same with the current Honda City. Even though its a 120HP but u dont feel it during stand still rev's. This is because the higher HP is used for the higher revs. Meaning that at say 130kmh, the City will be able to suddenly accelerate much faster than a lower HP engine who gives most of the HP at lower revs.

Not biased, I've tested both on straights and curves. The Sonata is just not in par with Teana. Sonata engine is just disappointing despite all the hypes of newer engine with higher specs on papers.

Had another go in the Teana today, actually was just accompanying a colleague.

The more I drive it, the more I feel there is no contest in terms of driving. It reminds me of an event some time back when we were testing a Toyota against the BMW 318i. The Toyota had the bigger engine, but the performance figures did not seperate the two much. If we had just gone by the figures, the Toyota would have won hands down.

And yet, the BMW was the more satisfying drive every time. Just as the Japs have matched the figures of contis and are trying driving dynamics to equal the playing field, I feel the Koreans have caught up to the Japanese on the spec sheet. But in the driver's seat, they still got work to do.

Test drove the Teana 2.0 and the 2.5V6.. If you're comparing with Accord and Camry. Teana 2.5V6 will be the better buy. I just love the the 2.5 v6 engine. Engine is refine and responsive as well. When pedal to the metal, the engine still sounded good. Anyway, no matter what there'll be a greater amount of ppl buying the Hondas and the Toyotas due to its resale value in the future.

what nissan has is refinement and smoothness. Some ppl just dont get it or they couldnt differentiate what is refinement and smoothness.

just like red wine, ppl said this bottle is taste smooth but not me. anyhow compare different bottles still same. human r born with different nature. Some can sense certain thing extraordinary but some are not.

just my 2 cents.

i agree...i too look into refinement and good NVH suppression rather than outright performance and looks. I may own a local car with V6 configuration, but when i get into a camry, the difference in drivetrain refinement is apparent (eventhough it is generally agreed that camry trumps our local V6 in terms of comfort and technology, etc)

however, when i tested the teana v6, the familiarity of refinement is there (plus smoother transmission and better muffled exhausts) which made me fall in love with the car immediately. wub.gif

i can't force other ppl to feel the same like i do because their preference in a car may be different. they may look into performance or technological advancement or just the way the car is designed. i also know that some just choose the car by brand because their father bought a car from that manufacturer when they were young.

so there's really no point in taking car comparisons seriously, because every tester has their own preference, and through their preference they pick the car they like the best. what he likes may not be what i like, so what's the point of 2 persons with different tastes trying to force the other person to understand what each of them feel in that particular car?

some ppl just don't like apples, regardless if it keeps the doctor away or not. just because we like apples doesn't mean we have to make other ppl like apples and trying to tell them apples have alot of vitamin A,B,C, folate, etc...they dun care!! they dun like apples because they dun like the taste and just because it has those vitamins u said that they have to eat it, right? there are still other fruits available rite?

just read and accept other ppl's comments or comparisons and leave it at that. who cares if they like camrys and sonatas? better for me since i don't have to fight with them to wait for the new teana! rclxms.gif

for tan chong motors:

you would be able to command the leading market share if the teana has :

1) full touch screen monitor with navigation & reverse camera
2) 17" rims for the 2.4
3) yr existing twin exhaust pipes, that is a good differentiator
4) sun + moon roof for the 2.4, very nice to have tho' not a deal breaker for me
5) gated gear shift

1) Yes please. Don't really need the reverse camera though.
2) Debatable, some people just don't want to pay for 17"s. I say make it optional.
4) Never been a fan of sun or moonroofs so I prefer a solid roof.
5) It's auto, so I don't need a gated gear shift.

They can command the leading market share merely with those 5 items above???? shocking.gif

Are u serious? U actually believe that with 5 cosmetic additions, the Teana is gonna sweep away the market of that segment? rclxub.gif

If Tan Chong continue to slumber in its service centre quantity (quality is a whole new different argument I don't want to get in here) and still giving out 'authorized service centre' to shops that put Nasa oil into Teana, then having those stuff doesn't help sales much at all.

Well if those were there, Toyota & Honda could just counter it by issuing short facelift with those stuff included - and Tan Chong back to square one.

Exactly my point. Most ppl dont realise that market sentiments in Malaysia are different to that in foreign countries like US. Here since our cars are overpriced, we usually try n keep them longer. Because of that, aspects like resale value and quality after sales service are sometimes more important factors than specs itself. Any car who wants to do well in Malaysia has to ensure their after sales service and maintenence costs are reasonable. Then comes all the other factors as well.

yes, if accord n camry remain the way they are, more people looking for a d segment jap car (more and not all, and yes, u may not be in the more) will buy the newer teana.

I think even if Camry n Accord remain the way they are (which they wont based on the newer models being planned), the Teana will surely not be able to compete. Its specs and overall looks are nothing to shout about. I would say the Koreans are more of a threat to Toyota & Honda rather than Nissan itself...in Malaysia.

Teana might get some sales between now and mid of next year only. But by then, the specs for the new Camry replacement model should be released and ppl will already start holding their purchases. I mean who wouldnt when Toyota have already said that the upcoming Camry will be a radical change including a new generation 6 speed auto gearbox, dual VVTI engine and a host of safety features. Even now, despite being 4 years old, the Camry still sells about 1000 units per month.

For people who are undecided to get either sonata or teana..
let me furnish u with some info regarding the car delivery based on my own experience.

Sonata = 4 months, car just allocated and have to wait another 2-3 weeks for port clearance and another 2 weeks for puspakom inspection before getting the car

Teana = 10 days, car in showroom ready to be collected.

Conclusion: I cancelled booking for Sonata and will be collecting my teana this monday rclxms.gif

Hope you all don't mind asking. Doesn't the Teana 2.0 litre engine feel underpowered. I mean seriously 136hp for 2.0 is really poor considering even 1.8 litre engine nowadays easily make more than that. This is a big turn off for buyers that looking a luxury car + car that can offer spirited driving.....Spirited driving is nothing without Powwahh!! laugh.gif

Nissan is not selling motorbike, spec sheet like horse power is not everything.

However, 2.0L for a size like Teana, someone has to try it on hill climb.

Yeah, sounds like. Hardly sees any new Sonata on the road accept on the normal working days that the same 2 cars that I've always met. Have to wait long doesn't mean is selling like hot cakes anyway. They might just order very minimal amount per month or quarter.

If you're looking for a spirited drive, why are you looking at the 2.0 instead of the 2.5 V6?

Anyhow, I would put NONE of the Japanese D segment cars we have here as a 'spirited drive'. May I point you towards BMW instead. You can start from the 325 onwards.

Exactly my point. Most ppl dont realise that market sentiments in Malaysia are different to that in foreign countries like US. Here since our cars are overpriced, we usually try n keep them longer. Because of that, aspects like resale value and quality after sales service are sometimes more important factors than specs itself. Any car who wants to do well in Malaysia has to ensure their after sales service and maintenence costs are reasonable. Then comes all the other factors as well.
*
Fully agree with your statements but just Overpriced? Cars in hong kong and singapore are costly too. WE all know that assets and liabilities in malaysia are all out of sync with the scale of economies ( in this case earning power). It has to do with more than just the price. BTW Nissan models in malaysia have been always the tail end models .Our consumers now are more discerning whether or not the conservative ones agree. Some companies are now realizing that so the latest global market models are now available soon after launch , so nissan better get out of their lazy chair and perk up. And btw those of you who wants a built in sat navigation in their cars.. be prepared to fork out an extra 10-20 k for it....thats one of the 'places' where the customs have concentrated their TAX power on.

Do u really think he's gonna share any cons??? Common la. If u want a real evaluation of anything u need to ask neutral parties la. If u wanna know specific details about specs, maintenance, etc then ask owners (but not the new ones since they need time to get to know the car themselves)

I would said it will be the other way around..since i had paid for the car i have the right to complain bout it now..
Based on my own opinion after driving this car it is a very comfortable highway cruiser but not good for spirited drive..
suspension was a bit soft while the steering are light and muted so no feedback..
so i would said it would depend on people's preferences..
those who like luxury and comfortable car..the teana would suit them..
while those who are into sporty car..this car might not suit u..

After the new year may not mean a 2011 model. There will always be left over stock from 2010. Usually ull be able to get 2011 models from March.

Based on my SA the teana will increase by rm7000 next year..
so from RM168 000 it will become RM175 000 by next year for the 2.5L
For those people who can wait..I would suggest u all to wait for those with black leather seat which was already available in our neigbouring country Thailand..It is so hard to maintain the beige leather seat..it stain easily..so for those who are buying now i would recommend you all to get ready with a good leather cleaning solution biggrin.gif

It's ok, we can wait. We are comparing this with Camry 2.4V still. Price difference is also ~7k. But many ppl has the Camry already. We dont like the Sylphy engine on Teana, hence avoided the 2.0.

Comfirm will increase, but it won't straight away increase at 1st of Jan 2011, it will need some time to adjust the price.

Why would the car honk when you press the central lock, it's just plain annoying unless the honk gives out the sound of a cat.

Dark color pretty hard to maintain, dust easily seen, becareful when you take it to the wash they get spiderwebmarks pretty easy after time if they don't use clean cloth to wash.

Also don't park the car remote as people tend to scratch new big cars, and dark color scratches are 10x more obvious than light colored ones.

your car will definitely looked nicer if it has darker tint. I saw one white color Teana with almost black color tint windows, it look awesome from side view...cos the A and B pillars also shinny black, very well match.

When owner is trying to convert their ride to a more sporty look, this is their preference. Some people prefer to maintain the executive look while some other will prefer to more to sporty look. Cheapo or no cheapo is in your mindset, when your mindset is cheapo, then everything for you will be cheapo.

I think put on another layer will be better opinion. Since the car is still new in the market, not many shop know how to handle work like dismantling the plastic stuff at the rear windscreen, it is risky they screw up and casue unwanted rattling noise later. What tires u put on the new rims? how about the road noise and handling?

sure bro, will share my experience on Teana soon.

you might get to buy with old price plus discount if you don't mind to get the 2010 manufactured unit.
As for the 2011 new unit, i am not sure whether ETCM do provide any margin to their sales personnel with the price increase, you can check it out with the SA... hmm.gif

Dear cybermaster98 ( Toyota vios owner)

No matter how cheapo or ah beng the teana look it is still going to look much better than Toyota vios..(just my opinion too..Freedom of speech in forum eh) rclxms.gif Only old uncle like the pathetic 16 inch rim in such a big car. Even the latest Autocar magazine was complaining on the size of the wheel..

That is like 3 level jump from Perdana to Fuga. I don't think we'd mind do we, if priced slightly higher than the Inspira, slightly.

Since the car is still new in the market, not many shop know how to handle work like dismantling the plastic stuff at the rear windscreen, it is risky they screw up and casue unwanted rattling noise later. What tires u put on the new rims? how about the road noise and handling?

Am using Toyo C1S 225/45R18..Road noise still acceptable and handling definitely better..went genting for test drive straight away after changing the tyre.. tongue.gif

Dear cybermaster98 ( Toyota vios owner)

No matter how cheapo or ah beng the teana look it is still going to look much better than Toyota vios..(just my opinion too..Freedom of speech in forum eh)  rclxms.gif Only old uncle like the pathetic 16 inch rim in such a big car. Even the latest Autocar magazine was complaining on the size of the wheel..
*
I think its silly to say that a Teana looks better than a Vios...duh! Its like telling me a Porsche is better than a Proton.

Anyway, my comment was not based on the size of the rims but the looks of it. There are much better & bigger rims like the ones on the BMW for instance which still maintain or gives the car more class. The rims u installed are the typical rims ull find on any ah beng modified car except being smaller. Just my opinion.

The only thing uglier than a vios is another vios.

You are obviously in the wrong thread. I dont see a shrine for you to worship your toyota here.

And ure obviously poor in your command of the English language. I meant that the Vios is NO COMPARISON to the Teana since obviously the Teana is much better in all aspects except maybe resale value. And do also ask if im refering to the 1st generation Vios or the dugong version before commenting. Dont blindly assume that i drive the ugly dugong.

if you experience the Accord, Camry, Sonata, you will feel how smooth ( in term of the driving )and comfortable of this 2.5 Teana, that is the selling point. Resale value ? why care so much if you can "afford" to buy another new one. If say "uncle" look, don't you think the square'ish Camry, Accord, E-class, A6... more uncle'ish, this is executive style model, so the attribute of the uncle'ish must be blended in there...

i feel the car design is inconspicuous, but should look lasting, like most nissans.

however i am not a fan of beige interior. very dirty and hard to clean.

In fact, this car has better interior design than all of its competitors, simple and classy looking. The only thing I don't like is the engine roaring sound is pretty obvious when u hit the fuel paddle harder or at low gear. After certain rpm, it pretty quiet. Do you guys feel the same ?

IMO Accord, E-class, A6 is eventough posses square-ish styling, they look elegant in my eyes. They just got the dynamic lines. The Teana is a bit weird to me... icon_rolleyes.gif laugh.gif

Got my Teana yesterday evening & drove a couple of kms back home from Nissan's showroom, see below for my very first cut initial quick comments:-

Pros
-----
- The V6 XCVT engine is awesome & powerful, smooth gear changeover & the NVH is pretty impressive
- The LED illumination at centre console & door handle is soothing & gives you a very relax feeling at night
- Of course love the intelligent key entry and push button ignition system, memory seat features & the mini compass indicator on the rearview mirror
- The xenon headlamps illumination is very bright that gives you optimum visibility


Cons
-----
- I need to mention again that the beige color interior looks good but to maintain it will gives you big headache
- My car's rear power sunshade is having a minor jam at one side when i tried to activate it few times (poor QC check)
- Lacking of air cond controls on the steering wheel
- Lacking of speed sensing auto doorlock (dunno whether got any setting to activate this), is a BIG BIG mistake for not having this simple feature on a Teana doh.gif
* Hi Jimmy, need your help to confirm whether your Teana do have this auto doorlock feature notworthy.gif


Thats all my very first cut comments on a 2.5L Teana, will provide more feedbacks when i gain more experiences from this car rclxms.gif

jimmynhs, are u using the RON 95 or 97? which petrol company you feel good for your Teana? My experience with the RON 95 ( I guess only cos it come with the car) is not good, after the first 3/4 tank finished, I changed to RON 97, I found the engine getting much more smoother and less noise, is this true? still puzzling whether is this my physicological effect...

Am using Petronas RON 95..The Nissan SA asked me to stick to one type of petrol either RON 95 or RON 97..Since the car was already powerful enough so decided to use RON 95 as it is much more cost saving..with the current price increase for RON 97 u would be spending extra rm30 for every full tank..then it also depends on the way u drive your car..i had been told that if u r those people that travel long distance all the time then RON 97 would be a better choice as it give better mileage for each tank..

This morning, I had pumped in the V Power, and I really feel the different this time. The engine is significantly more responsive and more quiet than previously. You guys must try this. It really draw me to believe the V Power or 97 is better in term of the combustion, so it shall leave less carbon in cylinder, ....so in long run, the engine block is cleaner, energy loss could be prevented better.

how come my wait list is 4 months ? i paid the deposit last week at nissan showroom in seksyen 14 pj (or seksyen13 whichever) and they told me 2 months and then yesterday i got call from steven saying need to wait 4 months ? gila meh i need the car a.s.a.p. because i accidentally sold off my car and the owner is coming to collect after cny.

i'm like wat the hell, i have to suffer taking bas and teksi to work for 2 months.

please don't ask me to cycle, i work in kl and stay in pj.


btw i have a question, is the speed or rev limiter active in the 2.5 version ? do i have to remove it or is it never there ?

anyway to sum up my experience at the nissan showroom in seksyen 14 (behind dutch lady factory), the salesperson very nice and friendly. i spent an hour chatting bout the car before the 10 minute test drive i took.
however changing the arrival date on my vehicle was never part of the deal. if u late 1-2 weeks i still ok. suffer by taxi and bas for 10 days i can bear. but 2 months ????? gila meh

hi jimmy, u r right, the xenon headlamps is a real mess for me during night time drive doh.gif in many occasions those drivers in came opposite me keep on flashing their high beam lights towards me and i have no choice but to flash up my high beam with the intention to indicate my innocent, all that were really not a good experiences, its embarrasing and irritating... vmad.gif

i went for my 1st 1k service this week, asked the service guys to see whether the headlamps level can be adjusted even they are equip with auto levelling feature, but ended they said it cannot be done. I was wondering whether they don't know how to do it or its really cannot be adjusted.

Any suggestion to overcome this problem, Jimmy? icon_question.gif

Is it worth to pay RM4K more for the 2.0 Luxury version?
The extra items are:
1)Windows Tinting; V-Kool Elite/V-Kool+Armcoat/Solar Guard,
2)Leather seats,
3)Ultra Glass Body Coating and
4)front cornering sensors.

Just wait about 6 months and ull see Nissan offering discounts for the Teana as they have done with most of their models. With Nissan you should never buy a new launch. Always wait some time for the discounts or else your loss in resale value will be considerable.

Fixed. wink.gif They also use the trick saying "Oh next year will going to increase few more K." And I remember the Sylphy price maintained for few years.

Anyhow they have increased Teana price. So expect more sales to Camry and Accord. Then they secretly decide to give buyer more discount behind the scene to compensate the lack of sales.

Exactly. They raise prices of new launches to try n show that sales are good but at the back they offer discounts secretly. Typical Tan Choong.

Well it doesnt really kill them. It kills the second hand value of the car which affects the owner more than anything. With Nissan you have to always buy later cuz the discounts will come.

I see the same thing. Reading from the manual, it will off automatically after certain time but I have not tried yet.

I test drive the Teana 2.0 Luxury yesterday and found that it is very responsive when you step on the accelerator but its literally dragging the car, a sign of being underpowered.

No choice, I wanted to test drive the 2.5L model but the car was not available in the showroom I was at. I was told to make an appointment.

The salesman told me that Nissan saves more fuel in terms of fuel consumption.

My questions:
1. How much per full tank?
2. Full tank can go up to how many km?
3. How many km/liter

Priced at RM173k now. The salesman only give RM3k discount during downpayment. He said this already incl. his commission and his boss commission. I know cannot be trusted but what more can I expect?

Car price = RM173,000
Downpayment = RM14,300
Loan amount = RM155,700

Let me know if any of you guys has received a better discount and who are your salesman.

Tested the 2.5 recently and while it has good acceleration and comfort, the CVT really sucks! If u jab the pedal, rpm shot up to 6500 rpm and engine is very noisy. Even Altis and Estima with 7-speed CVT don't have this annoying feature.

I'm very sad, received a call from Tan Chong HQ and was only given RM2k discount. May I know from other owners, what kind of discount have you received for 2.5l Teana?

Hi, the 2.5L which i bought was the Y2010 unit @ RM168k, no discount was given but they traded in my previous car with quite a good price though.
Tan Chong always have margin when comes into vehicle sales where they can either provide discount direct from their new car's price or trade in your old car with higher price, it depends on how much margin they have & it varies among the car models they have.

According to what i heard from my SA, the margin they have for the Teana after price increase is RM3k as of this point of time. But i am not sure
whether this amount is std & applicable accross all other dealers or not. Good luck in your bargaining bro... thumbup.gif

[quote=acbc,Jan 30 2011, 10:55 PM]Tested the 2.5 recently and while it has good acceleration and comfort, the CVT really sucks! If u jab the pedal, rpm shot up to 6500 rpm and engine is very noisy. Even Altis and Estima with 7-speed CVT don't have this annoying feature.

I have the same experience when I got my car but the more hours you drive it, you will feel the different... I would say you need time to "learn or feel" the CVT, of course I would say the pedal in quite "sensitive" or "responsive" in general heavy footer will get definitely push the rpm or .. I dont know whether the so called Adaptive Shift Control function contributing this. As I chat with the one of the key TC workshop guy, he also said need time to get used to the CVT. Anyway I still lacking of knowledge how the adaptive shift control comes in play, as far as my knowledge, it got an intelligent to learn many patterns of driving behaviors, well, please share if you know more.

Only the mature can accept constructive critisisms. If the forum is meant to provide only supportive statements then it defeats the purpose of the forum itself.

Lesser sales for the Camry? Are u sure? The Camry has been successfully hitting >1000 units sales per month for the past 6 months which is more than the Accord and Civic.

Accord is never close to Camry sales since day one. Just Toyota need to keep the monthly sales target, so accepting very high used car value now, it is also same as the Altis, if you don't believe, just visit a Toyota showroom and pretend want to buy a new Toyota and see those SA will do. My mother-in-law's brother just bought the new Camry 2.0 because of his old car, went to Honda, Nissan and Toyota, only Toyota able to give high trade-in value, so he bought the Camry.

Nobody in right frame of mind will announce the new model arriving. That will screw the sales of the current model for sure. They will only announce when they are confident they can push off most of the existing stock. But the new Camry is coming next year and it will be assembled in Malaysia which should make the price a bit more affordable.

Dont choose a color that will only look nice now when new. Silver is an everlasting color and will stand the test of time. Also the easiest to maintain and looks sleek with the Teana's shape. I would not recommend a white for sure. The worst to maintain.

BUt if ure a young guy why go for a Teana? Tan Choong will start offering discounts in the next few 3-4 months to boost sales (as they usually do).

My advise to anybody buying a Nissan in Malaysia is to NEVER buy a new launch. You will live to regret your purchase when u see the discounts offered by Tan Choong later on. Just like what they're doing to the Sylphy. If they offer a 10K discount, you can expect the resale value to drop by 15K for sure.

was looking forward to compare the Teana 2.5V6 with the Mazda6 2.5 and Hyundai Sonata 2.4 at first... But when I did, was a little bit underwhelmed.

Was wondering why they made it look sporty, throw in a V6 engine... and just stopped there. Interior all beige, finishing all kayu, rims only 16"..

Facelifted Teana launched in China already. Just a matter of time before it reaches Malaysia. Thats why i always advise not to straightaway purchase a new launch model from Nissan. Cuz they will either launch a facelift soon or start offering big discounts to boost sales. Thats why Nissan resale value is lower than Toyota and Honda.

The blogpost after that compares teana, accord and camry. nice read

p/s
It is for the china market. They get their teana few years back, so it's time for facelift for that market. For ours, it just arrived. Wouldn't expect to have any facelift anytime coon. Even the sylphy has no facelift yet, and yes China already got their sylphy facelift in 2010 or 2009. Different market altogether dude.

Yes. But u must remember that the Teana is a new model while the Camry is already 5 years old and due for a replacement end of the year or early next year.

got my teana recently. gonna send inside worksyop to mod for some reasonable sound system include changing the crap 6 disc player and a stupid display that doesnt display anything useful in orange.

parking sensors are stupid so i switched that off, traction control doesnt really work but will try on it again, rear sun shade comes down when its dark even when i don't want it to, compass on rear view mirror is stupid and annoying, cant find anyone selling strut bar for this car, auto mode on air conditioning is always set at full blast which is stupid, so that doesnt really work either, vkool tint is stupid coz its not dark enough, my car came late to me, and the sales agent was stupid as well (kota damansara branch), 16" rims are pathetic, memory seats but not memory mirrors i wonder why, power on the 2.5 is not sufficient but i stretched it at 6.5k rpm and my mileage on the car is 120km.
apart from that all is mostly well. the hindrance and annoyance of all, this will be my 1st nissan.....and my last.

Looks like someone didn't do their research and homework before buying a car. What happened? Bought it blindly just because of some word of mouth opinion?

What a way to spend RM170k+.

Might as well try to flog it off now for minimal loss if you are not happy with it.

Are you really sure you bought a Teana or are you a salesperson from a competitor? Dont get offended with my question but some of the issues you brought up clearly indicates someone who not only did not do any research but also did not go for a test drive.

And the fact that you run down a salesperson from the Kota Damansara branch could indicate a disgruntled customer but surely not one who might have purchased a Teana.

Plus many of your statements are actually just statements with no backing. Reverse sensor stupid? Traction control doesnt work? Vkool stupid? Kinda childish statements for someone who can afford to purchase a RM 170K car rite?

Anyway just my 2 cents worth.

got my teana recently. gonna send inside worksyop to mod for some reasonable sound system include changing the crap 6 disc player and a stupid display that doesnt display anything useful in orange.

parking sensors are stupid so i switched that off, traction control doesnt really work but will try on it again, rear sun shade comes down when its dark even when i don't want it to, compass on rear view mirror is stupid and annoying, cant find anyone selling strut bar for this car, auto mode on air conditioning is always set at full blast which is stupid, so that doesnt really work either, vkool tint is stupid coz its not dark enough, my car came late to me, and the sales agent was stupid as well (kota damansara branch), 16" rims are pathetic, memory seats but not memory mirrors i wonder why, power on the 2.5 is not sufficient but i stretched it at 6.5k rpm and my mileage on the car is 120km.
apart from that all is mostly well. the hindrance and annoyance of all, this will be my 1st nissan.....and my last.

I agree on some of the items that you probably wont discover during a test drive:
- parking sensor
- rear sunshade
- auto mode for a/c

I feel memory seats are a useless feature if it dont pair up with side mirror/rearview mirro adjustment, but how many cars got that?

Compass in rearview mirror remind me of pajero. Its annoying to be there, its distracting during normal use.

Tinting/rims are subjective, most ppl change it on their own anyways. But sucks that you have to pay for it in the first place.

Power not enough, I cannot say, I only 1.5 wira.

Its ok man, I'll take it off you for 130K. best price.

If I'm not mistake, the rear sunshade can be adjusted manually, auto mode AC sure will full blow if the temperature hasn't reach the level he/she adjusted, every car also the same, BMW/Mercedes/Audi... even the home air-con has the same character, unless you manually override the fan speed. Parking sensor, that's why Nissan make a switch to let the owner to switch it off. My boss new E250 also same, when a motorcycle, car over even a person cross the road, if too near the car, it will make noise, so my boss switch it off all the time, unless when parking, this is the parking sensor real purpose.

Sometimes a customer expectation on some features is that it would work "to my expectations".

For instance, if I never use automode aircon before, I'd also be annoy if its on full blast for long periods to cool the car down to target temperature. I ever experience this on some cars before, but once you are used to it, well, it becomes non-issue.

Yes, i agree some items can be turn off, but then the issue is, i paid for the feature, turning it off is kind of a waste...

Its like those camera which have intelligent focus, but it will forever hunt around to focus when the subject is there smack in the middle, you'd expect it to do waht it suppose to do right?

Parking sensor is an annoyance when it simply beep because someone walk by, but its something to make us aware of things happening in our blindspots. I suggest the user to get used to it.

auto Rear sunshade to me is unnecessary. to me i think its useful if it comes down when i park the car to cut down the heat a bit. but to have it come down suka hati, is quite annoying. again, something you paid for but turn off.

Beside the FC, others seem ok to me. For the 250XV, it is only 6.7km/l for the city drive, however I get almost double for the highway drive, approx. 11.8km/l. Camry 2.4 does better in FC, of course this is likely the apple and orange unfair comparison. As far as the engine preformance is concerned, I wud said..good.

Checked with accessory shop. Said it would be @RM3k but still not available yet and if installed by third parties may make the warranty void. Hoping TC will offer this themselves.

I think she owns it or else she won't know so many things about the car. There are some points that I agree with her, namely,

1) The audio system is crap and now they have launched the navigator at RM2,500.00 for existing owners. After offer period it is RM4,000.00. This package does not include the cd player so you can't play DVD to watch movies, only through thumb drive. Again, for a RM145k car, I must say the audio system is horrible. Can't do much about this.

2) The air-con with my car also got problem. I set at 23 deg C. It's cold in the afternoon but in the early morning or on rainy days it's only warm air coming through. Got to lower the temperature and the Nissan agent says nothing wrong and to send to him if the problem persist but how to send to him early in the morning??

3) The V-Kool is ok but only drawback is it is not dark enough.

Also the seat belt always got stuck between the seat and the door frame and creates a knocking sound when driving.

I only drove a CVT City b4- not bad actually & smooth transmition & not like the older tech auto tranny where gear change jerking one (Diff from Civic & Sonata gearbox lah bcos those new aged gearbox no more jerking liao haha)..

I actually din test drive buntutwoman Teanna just start the engine & compare side by side wth my Sonata - Well, for sure I dun like the dashboard of Teanna- ugly & too conventional - really Ah pek. However, Teana is more roamy probably due to wth yellow tone, less curvy rear roof & smaller dashboard and for sure the engine noise & the mild vibration as our Sonata you can't here any in Teanna..super silent for sure. biggrin.gif .. Power wise..kenot compare bcos her is 2500CC and Sonata only 2000cc..unless we compare 2.4 vs 2.5 Teanna haha

I still prefer Sonata anytime..After Autofoamed, Sonata is just like Teanna without vibration except engine start sound..Sonata engine still not refined yet..no thanks to Chy;ers/Mitsubishi desinged engine sad.gif

It was due to the rubber band effect. When the accelerator pedal was pressed, CVT immediately brings the engine rpm and noise up to a high level as the speed slowly rises. This gives a feeling of clutch slip effect. People always thought engine revs is synchronized with speed, which is the case for conventional auto but not CVT.

Modern day CVT, like those we are get in the Teana has far less rubber band effect since the CVT software could calculate the set up at "first gear" at a faster rate.

yeah the xtronic software makes it feel different from the older CVT basic software programming.. much less rubberband effect.

wooden fabric? where got fabric? you think this is chevy cruze meh?
as for the smart key there is 2 type (2L keyslot) and 2.5 is keep in pocket.
even BMW got 2 type.. one you put in the key slot and the other you keep in the pocket. what is there to figure out..??

as for boot damper for teana, just buy it lor few hundred only.. got ppl sell wat.. not all cars come with it...

ops! or i should said "wooden pattern material".. laugh.gif
for sure after look at it, it will slowly drag u to 2.5..but it already over my budget.
i don't care BMW or Merc what smart key, i am only looking what Teana can offer..since Teana offer "smart key entry" why 2.0 still need to pull out the key device from my pocket and slot into a key compartment? that's make me feel no different with our conventional key entry..right?
cheer!

as I said, putting the remote in the key slot is a standard thing when keyless entry came out, even in other car brands..

the higher end variant is the one no need to take out from pocket. so if you buy base model like 2L understandable they dun give you all the high end features right? if you want it, then buy 2.5L lor.. biggrin.gif

those who are in engineering line would understand better.

engine is to produce power , so if power is set at constant 5k-6k rpm then the maximum acceleration will be produced.

but if you use mid range rpm torque (which is not maximum power the engine can produce) to pull the car in conventional discrete ratio gearbox then your acceleration will be less and also choppy (not constant) due to jump in gear ratios and engine has to be cut off between ratios..

push start is push start, keyless is keyless, different thing mah..

liddat might as well say if you got keyless, means must be electric seat with 3 memory function and motorized steering column..

so that when you open the door, n go in the car seat (with key still inside pocket) all automatic adjust for you. laugh.gif

ha! memory seat is good to have but no also doesn't matter..i am not always adjust the seat and only me who drive the car..not a public car..this function also useless to me. push start&keyless to me is one pair of thing..
keyless= without any conventional key i can start my car by push a button. (i am not mention for those really high tech entry)..so 2.0 should suppose same tech with 2.5 but unfortunately it is not.. sad.gif

yes i agree with you.. laugh.gif comparing 2 cars or more we can get +ve & -ve opinion..since u mention about the space, i guess maybe teana interior is bright colour compare YF all black and rear roof is curve down due to design (not suit for tall ppl)..i don't know their interior cabin volumn figure, but ya~as long as can fit in 3 adult comfort it is ok already..or are u mention about leg room?

It is so bloody hard to choose a D segment car. For me, i didnt like the sonata as the back seat is not really comfortable for tall people. Need to bend my head a little bit even im only 176cm. But of course the interior is canggih. As for accord and teana, accord has quality problem and teana look way too conservative. So left mazda 6, kia k5, ford mondeo and new camry. Looking forward the new camry though.

Added on September 8, 2011, 3:11 pmAgain, unless you buy bcos your driver will be driving you and most of the time you will be back seater.. Otherwsie, why care about back? most of the time, it's your son/wife will be the back passengers haha

interior space, for sure teana looks big and even bigger than Akod & Sonata bcos of the bright yellow interior, better headroom & smallest dashboard. Sonata dashboard just like Civic already taken-up lotsa space liao. But from the spec, the teana actually the narrowest of all

But the CVT for the Teana is the Same as the Syphy rite? I think this rubber band effect is still apparent in the Sylphy.

hmm~ hmm.gif if talking about interior volumn..well i only fit in maximum 5 human into the car and not balloon/liquid to fully occupied the entire car space..as long as i feel comfortable will do..for head room i do agree YF loose on this due to the coupe roof design efferct, but well, if the rear roof design push high then it become wagon design ady... for rear seat+knee room also depend on how forward&backward the driver+front passanger seat adjust. if you are mat salleh size / long leg ofcaurse u adjust the seat backward then u get a narrow space for rear passanger. it apply to all kind of cars. luckily me not a big size~ laugh.gif ..for boot size, even the figure show you which car has a bigger volumn but don't forget there are dead corner which you can't accupied..just like fridge counted by volumn (liter) but sometime it just feel like not big enough~

Akod on paper already the longest & widest liao lor furthermore wth smaller than Sonata dashboard for sure roomier lor haha.. Teana is almost same length as sonata but narrower. but the dashboard size & the rear headroom & probably shorter boot size making it roomier than Sonata lor.

Anyway, no matter how roomy D segment car or even most D segment cars longer than any MPVs, the interior still smaller than MPV haha

also the teana boot has scissor mechanism, doesn't intrude when you close it.. not sure sonata is like akod or not, U shape bar to hold the bood lid..

also notice the teana boot is made of aluminium , just guessing from feel.. very light..

but bro..u didn't take the car height into consider..as u see D-seg length although akod is the longest but wheelbase only few mm compare with others..but akod give a "big" feeling..so u see, length is measure from front bumper to rear bumper..u still can change those bumper to a longer one but doesn't mean the car is "big"..we should see the wheelbase length..am i right? hmm.gif and also the height of the car..

I have a few points to make regarding the Teana Luxury.
1) After using for almost 6 months and 3 services, the engine starts to become noiser
2) There were on some occasions, felt like the power is not continous when pressing the pedal while coming out of a turn
3) The back seat is rather narrow and does not fit 3 adults comfortably, 2, yes and the front seats are also rather narrow.
4) The seat belt latch gets stuck between the door frame and seat and makes a irritating noise.
5) There's an option to install the navigator (similar to the Sylphy) at RM2,500 for existing Teana owners, offer valid until 15th October 2011, after promotion ends the price is RM4,000.00 but cannot support DVD. The existing Audio system is crap.
6) The boot is big but the lid is small, so you can't fit in big items, only many small items.
7) The sunglass compartment emits a rattling sound and also very irritating.

i didnt face 1,2,7

however, i have faced even more.

1) after months of winding the windows, wind noise comes in.
2) your power isnt continous but mine has a faulty traction control system that is still being "rectified" by TCEAS
3) i dont normally fetch more than 3, but the chute at the handrest behind is suposedly for you to bring out an umbrella. that chute size is so small u can probably throw things in like garbage and never get it out.
4) seatbelts agreed.
5) doesnt bother me. i have my own sat nav.
6) boot is not a complaint for me. i dont really have huge stuff so i cant comment.
7) the only damn sound i have is when i changed my rims and tyres. my tyres are so noisy, i feel geram. but if you dont change tyres and rims, the car looks unproportionate and silly.

the more that i have to add, is when you go above 180km/h, you can see the front bonet preparing to lift off. it vibrates so badly that aerodynamics just isnt right. at peak 210km/h, it'll vibrate and flex so much, that at the sight of it, u'll just release the pedals.

the rear sunshade is crap. put into reverse and it comes down. to settle that modification, send to the mechanic, snip off the wire that connects to the reverse gear and done. but more money gone down the drain.

the front door panels are great. you can stuff nothing into the door compartments unless they are slim. and fat fingers will never be able to dig them out.

front glove compartment is also rubbish. its so oddly shaped, you just cannot put anything feasible in there apart from small tissue boxes.

handrest compartment is crap. i can see the rear air cond ducts flowing through.

the rear view mirror has a compass. why on earth would anyone need that unless they still use road maps or decided to read feng shui. then again, why road maps when you gonna bundle a vehicle with a sat nav ?

Regarding your points :

Installing your own Nav sets, won't that affect the warranty ? If not, do you have any recommendations? What is the price range? The ones offered by Nissan is rather dear. And does yours work well. Heard the reception won't be as good due to the V-Kool installed om the car.

As for the high speeds, only made one trip to KL and hit 190km/h at around Yong Peng straight. Heard some noise at the rear tyres and release the pedal. Also worried about the speed trap. Will try to take note of the front bonnet and vibration if there's a next time.

Front door panels : Fully agreed. The designers have chicken brains. Same with the glove compartment. It can't fit the owner's manual nicely.

I don't intend to increase the size of the tyres, just change to another brand. I just felt that the Continental ones that came with the car are of a lower grade.

Yup, the thread also not very suitable for wet roads.

I'm not sure about that. Maybe Nissan upgraded the CVT software for the Teana even it is still the same CVT unit in the Sylphy.

The current technology of CVT as of now still couldn't eliminate the rubber band effect 100%. Even my CVT which is made in Belgium still have some rubber band effect during pick up and parking.

I guess it depends on programming,

the xtronic CVT works very nicely with large CC vehicles.. I did test drive the latest Elgrand 3.5L with CVT recently.. wow.. accelerates very swiftly for such a large giant while keeping low rpm during constant cruise speeds thumbup.gif

there are a few ways.

get a 7" player, and the display panel on top only displays air cond control.

or

get a lcd, and re-fitting, and you will lose the air cond display

or

get a 7" player with an lcd panel and u will still lose the air cond display but u will win when it comes to style.

i already have a garmin nuvi so i just mount it on my friction mount.
but i know someone in nilai who's selling the player with the gps built in, can watch dvd etc etc for under RM 1500 full set. is someone i found in the garage sales/street mart.

either way u have to lose 1 of the displays.

vkool i got rid of it around the 2nd week of obtaining the car. its just rubbish.

yes go look at the bonet. easiest way to tell is to tailgate closer at higher speeds and move 1/2 your car out. you can see the vibration more clearly when it's 1/2. if you go past 180 without tailgating, you should be able to scare yourself as i did. i shat in mah pants.

Hi all, I have a question, does your teana front sensor come with display? Or just like the beep sound like mine?

Is yours the latest version that comes with the Navi? Mine, I got it in March 2011, no Navi and the one offered by Nissan to existing Teana owners are just not good enough.

Bro, mine got navi cause i bougth the car with the aerokit and navi package. So far that navi is quite good. Before that i used to have garmin gps but i dont like it cause it failed on some of the directions that i wish to go. I guess maybe i didn update the garmin map gua...

On the third day i took the teana, i straight went to many places Melaka, Seremban, Klang and Port Dickson coz wanted to hit 1000 km so that i can service it first before i balik kampung at penang. That teana navi didnt failed me once for most of the places that i wish to go such as those favourite makan place at melaka and penang. So far, i am quite happy and satisfied with that navi so i still didn plan to change it to other brand yet...

The only thing i am planning to change/upgrade for my teana now is the existing vkool tinted film and the 16 inch rim.

Hahhaha, bro, i m still searching that.

I heard many friends say the tyre shop at jalan kapar klang is very famous and the price is not too expensive.

They said in the market got rims made from japan, taiwan and local malaysia made. The most expensive one is from japan which is the lighest and strongest. But the price will easily cost more than 10 k above. I m planning to change to the max 18 inch coz it is still within my budget. More than 18 inch above, i cannot tahan liao sad.gif . Coz the tyre is much more expensive.

I think i will try rims from taiwan coz is cheaper. Around 2.5 to 5 k.

Bro, when u go to look for rims, pls becareful of immitation and fake rims...

I want to buy the rims in the pic, but dunno where can get it...

Thanks bro,

By the way, wanna check with you whether your car will feel some slight choking when driving in a very slow motion?

I feel once or two time of feeling not smooth when driving very slowly. I tot only i feel that, but my wife oso feel that oso..
But that choking feeling is not permanent. Which means, i drive 10 times, got 1 to 2 time will feel like that.

It wasn't so frequent and I forgot about it when I was at the service centre. Actually there are many minor problems here and there. One of the most "teruk" one is the vibration sound like coins when the road surface is not even. I complained and they say it's the dashboard and only affects the 2.0 model not the 2.5.

And now, the door frame rubber comes off easily and this makes the car noiser.

vkool i got rid of it around the 2nd week of obtaining the car. its just rubbish.

yes go look at the bonet. easiest way to tell is to tailgate closer at higher speeds and move 1/2 your car out. you can see the vibration more clearly when it's 1/2. if you go past 180 without tailgating, you should be able to scare yourself as i did. i shat in mah pants.

how did the ori vkool performs? really tat worst?
i know that the nissan ori vkool actually is not the elite version..tats y just writen on the brochure is vkool only..hehehe tongue.gif

Hi Webboy, can i know what happen to the VKool tint? Was yours come along with ETCM? The VKool Elite?

I planning to get a 2.0L Luxury soon before the Navi & Bodykit package expire. Actually, i thinking to get a Security Tint for the car but if i get the Luxury version it will come with the VKool Elite Tinting from ETCM. I thinking to ask the Salesman to not include the tint or help me to upgrade to Security Tint instead.

To all Tai Kor here, any advice for me?
Thank you.

Bro, yes, mine got vkool + aerokit + navi in the package.

Actualy nothing wrong with the vkool. The existing one given by nissan quite good oso. Can filter heat quite fast. Just that feel wan to upgrade to a better one. You know lar, nowadays the wheather is crazy hot. coz mine is a leather seat so just wish to protect the leather seat longer.

As whether the vkool is elite version or not, then i not so sure..i heard the salesman told me that the vkool just cost only rm 1k. Afte minus commission for the salesman and the branch manager, i think the csot just few hundred bucks only. So u can imagine how good is it for the tinted film with that price...

Hi All, anyone of you get the Ultra Glass Body Coating from Tan Chong when you purchase your Teana?
I think to get the Solid white color, but as you all know solid white paint will get marks and stains easily if you dont take care it properly.
So i was thinking, will the Ultra Glass Body Coating help the Solid White paint to prevent dirt/water marks and stains?
If yes, is it worth to get it from TC or get it from outside after collected the car?
thanks in advance for the advice =) 1st time getting a D-Segment car, very excited.

Hi lui, on the second day i get my car, i straight go to do coating. But mine is not Ultra Glass Body coating. The nissan branch manager recommend their panel which is 3 rd concept. So without thinking further i just accept it coz they said is their panel, so i think they would not cheat me gua. If really cheat me, sure i will complain kaw kaw to their nissan hq. Somemore, in the market there are lot of coating and not all are original and sometimes i oso cannot differentiate between ori or fake.

The cost for the coating is rm 2350. I did it at puchong branch 3rd concept, just before IOI Mall and behind Chevrolet showroom.

They said, after did the coating, no need to polish and wax anymore and they give 5 years warranty. And oso no need to send to them for coating maintenance

Hahha..i really hope tan chong will give foc ler, but unfortunately is not ler... Need to fork out that extra cash for it ler.... sad.gif

So far, after 3 rd weeks is ok, if everyday rain, it will oso leave rain marks one but not so obvious which mean better than din do coating lor...
For the first 2 week after did coating, they said cannot use shampoo to wash so i just use normal water to wash the car only.
Now its already pass 2 nd week, so each time i wash it using car shampoo, all those dirty rain marks that normaly u wil see dripping down especially the door handle will easily clean off...

Very shining after each time of washing the car...and i did one round of checking on the whole car body... I cant find even one dirty spot... If got, i just use a damp cloth and wipe it harder and the dirty spot will gone...

Well, what i can say about coating is that, it can save me on the future polish and wax lor...
