hi all,
any camry 2.0g owner can share what are possible problem you face with your car.

realiability, maintenance cost ?

thanks, i have been asking the same question to myself many times, why buying or considering this old engine,low spec, and so on.
very tempting to get mazda 6, but worry local machanic wont' know how to repair it as i stay in kampung area, very frequent travel to outstation.

old engine have been around for 12 years, what could be the disadvantage of it ? FC, ppl claim ard 9 - 10/l
, Honda a little better than it .
the only thing is no VSC, i checked ard,, teana,honda 2.0 also dn't have.

hope i can be a bit more younger, i will sure go for mazda 6.

thanks,,
in that cse, will accord 2.0vti-l a better choice ?
i hv honda and toyota sc near my area.

actually went tested both, honda ride is so so only..

how much is Mazda 6 now ? any discount ?

thanks all, maybe this weekend i go test test Teana, initially thinking to buy this but found out sharing same engine with splphy, and 300kg more heavier,, kind of confuse,, does it hv enuf power,,,

let me test drive it ,, just need a reliable machine to bring me from A to B. Comfort is my first priority.

btw, anyone know Is teana having better safety feature than camry ? am looking at 2.0 ..

i hv just cancelled my booking of camry 2.0g. will wait a while and check out mazda 6 or may wait for honda 2013.
I don't hv urgency to change car,just my current car is already 9 years old, want to change a new one, that all.

thanks all for the input.

i must agree that reliability and cost is one of the reason why i considering jap car when buying d segment car. we already know car price in malaysia is overpriced due to tax structure, you can get better car in oversea country with the same $, but we have to pay so much here + higher spare part cost to maintain it. hence a lot of old man like me will go for T&H due to it's realiablity and cost of maintenance. In the past, didn't really look into detail on safety features of those cars. i'm they are already some safety features there,but can have more..
After reading lots of post in this forum, it has educated me the important of safety feature in a car. It is one of important aspect we must look into it when buying a car that suppose to have those feature. (price range wise), afterall, you won't know when accident will visit u.
also considering passat/golf, but the 'dsg' gearbox issue really stop me to go further. Not sure how many suffer from it, but when i search in google, seems it is a known issue and yet a perm solution not found. 508 is really nice interior, but again with the 308 turbo engine issue...
thanks for all the post, will take my to search more and be a smarter consumer.

all,
just back from showroom of mazda,, M6 really nice.
cx5 also nice. If you hv budget to buy camry, it is really worth to look at these, i think the design will last quite some time.
cheers.
