Yeah, it takes time for some people to accept the rear part and the interior is simple with only a little dials which give other people an impression of lack of fun-features, useful-features. Added the interior is in beige colour and gets dirty easily. So I went to add another layer of cotton on the seats and for the steering wheels, just try to wipe it after every drive. But I was impressed by its comfortness, smoothness and quietness. Plus the strong CVT which makes overtaking easy and the V6 engine of the car. The Teana gives people a kind of luxury feeling, so I went to get it without considering the rear part and interior.

i like the rear looks. dem nice.. the front is abit boring i thought,
the exterior looks dem great especially with my 19in rims n tires.. with the ori 16 really look ahpek-ish..

teana way to go

i couldnt accept the fact that car without vvt tech still available in luxury market. its the absence of such mechanism that contributed to high fc and yet mild power despite its V6 and 2.5L or up..

If wan, wait for KIA Optima Hybrid come 2 malaysia....
break world record of 3.1L/100km, which clock 16k mileage per full tank!!(that's wat i heard...rumours...i dun belif it myself)

u can go for New Optima, Sonata, New Sportage too.....
and u wun knw when u nv acually drove it...do not hear 'rumours'....
engine noise n wind noise is not true, i drove New Optima, and Sonata b4...
maintenance wise, cheap....consider normal...if u wan expensive, Honda and Mazda...even Mitsu oso cheaper...

between these 3 cars(in current year), i will go for Teana...

LOL - yes, i will buy proton saga after this post.


back to topic - i have seen a lot of teana on the road - i guess acceptance of the design/price/engine is non issue so not sure why ppl still debating it here?

bcoz most people who driving it chances are they are a little bit old and they are internet illiterate OR they only use internet for uncle purpose (news & stocks)

haiya apa lagi kereta kita boleh beli?

siapa suruh najip main monopoli

sure or not? drive teana means internet illiterate?

inspira, perdana, exora, alza

Lets see when they will launch the Optima Petrol version first. So far, thats taking ages too. I dont see the Hybrid being launched anytime next year also.

But did anybody consider the Peugeot 508? I think compared to the upcoming Camry or Teana, the 508 seems a good deal (except for resale value and maybe after sales service standards).

Im a Toyota man. But if you have the time to spare, put aside all negative stuff uve heard and go check out the Peugeot 508. I went last weekend expecting crap but i ended up spending about 1 hour viewing and analysing the car at the showroom. if ure in KL, i would recommend you meeting a salesguy by the name of Husaini at the Peugeot TTDI showroom. He's one of the few sales guys at Nasim who really knows the in's and out's of the 508.

Give it a try. U'll be surprised as this 508 is far superior than the other models that have come out from Peugeot in a long time. For a 1.6L car at RM 169K, it is impressive.
