15F Neutral Newbie October 2, 2012 Share October 2, 2012 I drove my father-in-law, Yr 09' 2.5 Teana for quite sometime. Comfort Driver - 4/5 Comfort Passenger - 5/5 Power - 3.5/5, maybe is too chassis too heavy. Parking - 3/5, body is too long and wide. Not sure if only happened to my in-law car. When we drive up NSHW and travelled at high speed. The bonnet like going to "open" up any time and you can hear the wind noise is cutting into the bonnet. We stopped and check the bonnet, it is close properly. Anyone encountered this before? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustyz 5th Gear October 2, 2012 Share October 2, 2012 (edited) I don't like the part that the doors are not fitted with any grove to deposit keys or rubbish.

Nav14 6th Gear October 3, 2012 Share October 3, 2012 New Teana should be launched maybe from the period of early next year to mid of next year. It has been in the market for a long time and since Camry and Accord have launched, it is only a matter of time the new Teana is launched. So far the Japanese Nissan website has none of the new Teana. Once it is available in home market, it wont be long before it reaches our shores. The Teana / Cefiro is usually replaced based on a 5 year cycle. So I am expecting the complete new model to arrive in late 2013 when the current model would hve reached 5 years.

Spurman Supercharged October 3, 2012 Share October 3, 2012 cefiro is indeed a good choice to purchase at 2nd hand car. but i heard the FC is kinda bad? i got a friend just sold his 6yrs old cefiro 230jm to a 3yrs old bmw 5er. i wonder why? Fc around 7-9km/ltr, mixed city drive... Prob change due to badge? But as pointed out by a forummer, resale value is lower than camry n accords... Thus 2nd of this is more affordable. I mean for a mij, 5-7yrs old car. This would be more value for money, never mind the poor fc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
