hi guys...since many of u hv alrdy driven teana for long...i need some feedback on the car regarding maintenance, common problems, things u dun like, engine/gearbox performance...i hv juz test driven 2.0L teana comfort (which i consider getting) this morning and here is my opinion on the car:
1. the comfort and NVH is superb...seats are like plush sofa...freaking quiet and very little vibration like in library till the extent i dun realize i hv alrdy started the engine...stable at high speed...
2. handling is above average although not as good as accord...lose out in terms of interior looks and overall features compared to camry/accord...
3. cabin and boot space is super huge...
4. pick up surprisingly quite ok considering it's huge and heavy car...i bet sylphy owners will experience better pick up power...
so what do u think?any other comments or views u guys hv?juz focus on maintenance..common problems...things u dun like...engine and gearbox performance
thx alot

hmm.. i tested sylphy b4.. for acceleration really not as good as teana despite its a heavy car althou same engine used. I asked the SA he told me something like ecu tune to hav bigger power on teana, but sylphy will have better FC thou.
FC on 2.0l confort.. full tank til fuel warning light appears.. 550km.. i forgot how many litters thou. 114 bucks.. ron95.. around .21 per km
handling.. i like the light steering.. easy 2 drive in the city/town area i would say.. suspension abit soft and tat makes it very comfy.. but i m thinking whether to add anti-roll bar or not..
power.. i used to drive on ron97 and tis is the 2nd tank on ron 95.. and.. power still acceptable althou change from ron 97 to 95.. for normal city drive it is very acceptable.. decent acceleration..
2.0l no knocking sound as reported.. back seat space if not wrong i think accord bigger.. but the back seat legroom consider very good ady.. to me at least..
things i don like.. the stupid beige colour interior.. if get dirty easily noticeable.. tats y i always clean my seat n watever interior when it got dirty.. tak tahan c it get dirty..
and the stupid seat belt.. the seat is too big.. when u release seat belt.. it got stuck there and not placed properly.. and it tend to knock on the plastic panel when there is abit of vibration and create annoying sound.. just pull it properly then will b ok..
and whatever glove compartment sound.. don notice at all.. for me..
and i suggest get the 2.0L luxury (or watever.. i forgot the exact name) like mine.. the front sensor make the car very easy 2 drive.. leather seat is great.. and vkool works ok.. but not too dark.. just add some $ to get some cheaper tint to make it darker.. for heat reduction.. vkool works..
BTW.. mine is 2.0L luxury.. cheers~

Bro yamasce, one tips for you if you worry about the Nissan maintenance =)
You can bring your own parts and oil to the service center for schedule service. Just refer to your servicing booklet, you will find all the items that going need to service this time. Then you can go to any spare parts shops to buy your parts (engine oil, oil filter, spark plug, timing belt...) You can save a lot of cash on the parts' cost and just pay the servicing fee to Tan Chong.
This is one of the main reason i choose Nissan, instead of T&H. And most important, your warranty will not void =)
sure can ar? i gonna do tat by moro.. my car is due for service ady..
