Camry 2G or Teana 2.5? Which

[vr2turbo]

y not consider accord as well?

Any of the Japanese brands are okay, all have pros and cons. TS should just test drive and see which he likes best according to his priorities. What car we like is no point as he is buying.....hhahahhah

No brainer, Teana hands down.. due to ALL the stuff you get with the Teana, the air bags, and those super sophisticated electronic safety stuff.
Camry, other than the hybrid, don't bother. Its all using poverty pack. Only 2 airbags. lol. what a joke.

Passat also using DSG 7 gearbox, bound to have problems. It is using a 1.8T engine so no piston blown issue like the 1.4 twin charge engines.

508, if you want to buy get a used one, the resale value drop like a brick. Still got issues, and the SC still try to push blame away and don't own up. 508, 308, 3008 all same 1.6 THP Prince engine. A lot of carbon buildup issue due to its direct injection engine.

Here's a curve ball.. if I am spending that much money, I'd get a Toyota Mark X 2.5 over the Teana, and definitely over the Camry.

That's just the more luxurious version of Mark X. It's heavier but yet smaller and slightly detuned power compared to the first gen Mark X.

The FL and the non FL, same chassis and everything, except the looks right? I think its too Lexus-ish for the FL. And that is really a huge increase in budget.. for the money I would say top up and buy Camry 2.5 Hybrid.

Isn't that a Mark X with a Lexus logo? And then it costs 50% more. Despite what Lexus says. lol. Not worth it aaaa, unless your balls feels more suspended by the Lexus seat lor.

Yup, technically all still the same just different front and rear bumper & lights. I actually like the FL look coz the front lights are unique (until other cars copied it) and looks mean. The best value for money is buy the non FL and then FL it yourself! Many has done so, just cost extra 6-7k, plug & play. For example like this one:

http://www.mudah.my/Toyota+Mark+X+2+5+2010+UNREG-21576660.htm

Camry Hybrid is a good car but then it's still just another FWD.

Yeah, that's why I chose the Mark X instead of IS250, it's bigger, yet lighter and a bit more responsive. The only downside is the speed limiter at 180kph which is expensive/not easy to remove.

To be fair to the Camry Hybrid, its a HYBRID FWD lah. hahaha. Running costs is lower by a bit. The price of the FL Mark X so close to the Hybrid, theoretically you buy the Camry you get a NEW car with full warranty. Plus the Camry Hybrid don't look too bad.

Still, I'd pick the non-FL Mark X, and leave it at that.

Alas, I cannot afford 2.5L road tax. Can only think and syiok sendiri.
