Great reviews and very comprehensive… but I want to be a bit cheeky and point out that by your own admission, you three did not choose the car that outdrove the other two and was the roomiest as well…. and also the only one to have an iPod dock, which you did not highlight. You guys are showing your age! :PPPP

Hi,
Sometimes i think comparing an old car with these new ones will be fun too. for instant, W124 (legandary bullet proof car) which cost less than 30K with these big shots will be fun to watch.

In terms of re-sale Value, the Camry would be the car of choice

Quote – “HID headlamps a little too high for the comfort of other motorists (it’s JPJ approved though)” – JPJ cannot approve the hid beam angle – they do not have the equipment to check. Even Puspakom can’t check as all their equipment is broken down.

I have chosen Teana and after a month of driving and after first service, my car engine ignition warning light turn on. On low rev, the car was choking. When press on fuel pedal, it seems uncomfortable…with it rev..seems like under power..
Is this due to electronic prob or engine? It’s cvt v6 engine is best of it’s kind..am I out of lick or what?

I also done some studies between the 3 cars when I was trying to find a family car last november/december, just about when Teana launched. Having the tendency toward buying Accord but I was landed at Camry. I like the power of driving Accord offered, but too bad this is a family car and I’m not really a racer on the road. Comfort comes in the first when talking about family cars. Why not Teana then? Well, like most Malaysian, we like to pick one with less risk, especially if you see there are more Camry on the road than Nissan’s car. Nevertheless, the review was so good that it should probably be publish last year.

For the comparison of the three cars, I would say that they attract three different categories of owners.

1. Accord – The young and successful professionals and self-made businessmen. It
is like driving the BMW of the East. Looking for performance.
2. Camry – The corporate cars for older executives and older businessmen. It is like
sitting in the Mercedes of the East. Looking for comfort.
3. Teana – Mainly attract the young and upcoming contractors and traders. It is like
in between the BMW and the Mercedes of the East. For show.

You can now make your choice.

Given the styling influences of the Accord (BMW 5 series) and Camry (Audi A6), it’s no surprise that the Camry is more popular on styling grounds. Just be thankful that despite comical bulging headlights and taillights that didn’t quite manage to spoil this fake A6, Toyota offers this Camry rather than the US/Japan version, which looks less classy and bland.

The Teana is the surprise winner here because it is the only one designed primarily as a chauffeur driven car for Asia/Russia and yet still dynamically competitive in this trio. One could only guess how Australian-tuned Optima could upset the result if this had been a 4-way test.

I went to see the Nissan Teana for myself. What an ugly cheap looking car it is! I am serious. I went together with my friends from the golf club and all agreed it looked so much better from the photos. The inside is NARROW! No need to be 6 ft tall because I am 5ft 5 ins and my friend is 5ft 4 ins. Our elbows rub each other many times including the salesman, as we test driving!
How can you compare a v6 engine to a 4 cylinder car? We tested the 4 cylinder Teana and found it to be worse than the Camry!! You also forget to mentioned above that in the Honda Accord, the auto transmission gear changing can be heard! Are you deaf? This is so evident to all my friends which put us off!
Overall, your review seems quite fair :-)
I personally like driving the Teana but for looks and comfort, Camry still wins. better still, wait for the new model around the corner! But that means to some people……why not wait for the next Nissan Fuga (Perdana replacement) ! Wait and wait…….

I agree, but wait till you see your service bill. You’re going to scream.
And if one part breaks down, you’re gonna scream louder when the service center tells you, sorry, no parts, gotta order. Wait 6 months. Hahaha

all 3 will have their own good and bad . very subjective to each individual. tested all 3 for the past 3 weeks at penang show rooms till Kl. Each car tested 5 times for about 1/2 hr each time.

Finally booked a Accord 2.4 …… best for drivers or put it at least to me . Just luv it.

You’re talking bull* dude.. I’ve test drove both Camry and Accord before deciding on the later. Never considered Teana due its ugly backside and penis shaped front.

The conclusion was quite simple.. Camry has strong points on comfort with huge disparity on road handling. Whilst Accord’s driving dynamic is enjoyable and technologically advanced compared to Camry’s 4 speeder and crappy suspension. Believe me it feels just like driving a much bigger Civic.. nimble, torquey and all..

Agree with claims that Accord’s NVH level is not a plus but I must say that was the only letdown and it wasn’t that obvious, just exaggerations to me.

Never liked that sissy looking creamy colored woody interior thus Accord’s dark black cabin suits me just fine. Teana’s interior? OMG talking about overrated.

Just got my Accord right after Chinese New Year and I know I’ve made the right choice.

A comparison between the Japanese and Korean car would be a very good project. The Korean cars are selling well now, I’ve seen a lot of Forte, Sonata and Tucson on the road recently. It would be of a great help for potential car buyers to make up their mind.
