Hi All,
In dilemma of choicing my purchase to be.
I'm going for a 2000cc car & to choose between Teana, Camry or Altis?

Camry 2012 should I wait?

You should wait for the new Camry, better improvement compare to current one according to the Toyota CEO previously.

You should not compare Camry with Altis, they are different segment vehicle.

wait n check out 2L camry lor.. if it's too same (like kosong feature, 4speed auto etc) as the 2011 camry then can consider others..

If space isn't your main priority, the Altis is the best choice among those 3.

care to share why?

how about sonata? accord? optima?

Actually Korean car do not jump into my though mainly because of the low resell value & high maintenance too.

Accord, my friend told me the wind noise & engine noise very bad.

This is why I zoomed down to Teana, Camry & Altis.

For Teana, not sure the FC is ok or not? The tank capacity is 70litres & I guess such huge tank must be there for a reason.
Anyone know whether Teana FC is good & the power okay to move a 1.8tonnes vehicle with 2.0l engine capacity?

Actually I like Camry but to buy now doesn't seems worth since the new model is coming. But not sure whether worth the wait.

better engine and gearbox package
better kitted (leather seats & wheel, etc)
better seats (more supportive, more comfortable and powered)
better safety features (comes together with VSC and TC)

nah.. no way the altis is better than my teana, checked it out before i got the teana.. it;s nice for B+C segment level, but not really close to teana/camry/akod class..

2.0 got VSC & TC meh?

meh, most of the comparison points is I am comparing it with the Camry since everybody is so busy with the Camry.

I never view or sit before Teana 2.0, so cant comment much. Furthermore, I only like the 2.5 because of the magnificent engine. Sorry if I am a bit bias against the Teana in this case. XD

2.0 Altis, yes

2.0 Camry, no.

why even bother buying the outgoing 2011 camry? got 20k discount ar?

i think u should test drive the teana and sonata...both are really good car, no harm go test drive, camry dont bother cuz new model coming real soon

if you're in the market, why not consider other new players in the D-segment, like Ford Mondeo, or Peugeot 508..?

buy a proton inspira. if you dont support national car pride and joy who gonna support ?

teana 2.0 is using slyphy engine. if teana better get the 2.5v6

altis 2.0 is quite pricey and the interior isn't spacious.

if u afraid to buy the camry now due to the incoming launch on next year, u can consider buying 2nd camry 2009-2010. if lets say the newly launch camry 2012 is impressive u still can sell off your current camry 2009/2010 and topup abit to get the camry 2012.

You.

wait for 2012 Camry

like how i'm waiting for 2012 Civic

TS is worried about resale value and high service (parts) cost. If both aren't an issue, the Mondeo really is a very good car, looks fantastic (really need to see it in the flesh to appreciate the looks), and has one of the best engines in it's class.

the current camry on the other hand is non of those things, plus it's such a vomit bucket at the back seats for long journeys

totally agree with you mate. out of your 3 choices - you should also consider the ford mondeo and 508 AND VW jetta - all within the same price range.

me ? if i had the $$$$ i will buy the new VW passat - great engine ( same as audi A4 and great interior - very spacious and legendary german engineering)

but i dun have the $$$ so i will choose the VW jetta - much more spacious and better handling than all 3 japanese cars you have listed.

BUT - if you really must buy a japanese car, then get the teana - best bang for buck and great v6 engine!

camry and accord ? - yawn....
