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.

what so magnificent with the VQ25 engine?

smooth kua.. used to have the A33 with VQ20.. very smooth.. but then my rotary also very smooth and only got 3 moving parts inside..  laugh.gif

ex-owner of VQ30DE here. u have no idea how much i've spent to keep this engine alive until it fail on me yawn.gif
oil leaking, ignition problem, plug cable pecah at least 4 pcs, overheated and finally burned for good. maddriver can attest on all these lol.
total spend on engine maintenance alone exceed 5k in the duration of 2 years of ownership.
yea i do understand the car was old (2002 production) and the previous owner did not maintain the car properly (water was already rusty when i got my car. didnt know it coz 2nd hand dealer pour new coolant to cover until i did first service).. However the good thing is that most of the part i replaced was all original and no third party nor new parts spotted. which means im unlucky owner since the first owner get to enjoy the engine naisly while i have to maintain the engine to enjoy it as well LOL

if the engine already injured internally, hard to blame it as unreliable lor..

but one thing i kennot tahan the VQ engine really drinks.. my 2L seifeilo could only do 400km full tank 8km/L  lol..  blink.gif

what cause the "injured internally" i think is the part used?
there was once i had to replace the head gasket coz my newly replaced spark plug got oil stain and tan chong said got leak so ask me to change. then i have to change to another new plugs (plat, rm45 each in tc).. and it got 2 heads alamak.

yea, the fuel consumption also crazy giler. full tank 110 can last 380km max. that translate to about 6.3km/l doh.gif
then the roadtax also giler high RM2100 but the power not very satisfying coz its just a conventional V6 without valve timing. not so refined.
im surprised this engine got award few years in a row in its golden days.
actually that is what motivate me into getting the VQ engine lol tongue.gif

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..

yea, super poor fuel consumption from the VQ and high road tax make it valueless
