Nissan Teana

Test drove 2.5l verson of this car in late March. To be honest, I'd initially struck the Teana off my list after reading some of the reviews on sg carmart. However, after testing numerous other Japanese and Korean cars, I eventually decided to give it a try. I wasn't disappointed. This car was, by far, the most comfortable of all the cars I test drove. And it has to do with their zero gravity seats. It's hard to describe, and you just have to try it for yourself. Overall, the car was really smooth and quiet. Road bums were well absorbed and it had a nice feeling of luxury. As an executive sedan for regular driving to work and on weekends, it's really a great car. Performance wise, I felt the 2,5l had sufficient pick up from a complete stop. It's pretty much a great family car and i almost bought it. The two things that put me off eventually buying this were the footbrake and that the car didn't have a manual mode. I'm particular but, in this day, the footbrake somehow just seems a bit archaic, especially as so many cars today come with electronic parking brake. And no manual mode just made this a little boring for me. But other than that, i really loved the car and its design. It's plush and elegant. Although I eventually settled on another car, this ranks pretty highly in my book and i think is worth a test drive at the very least.... Read More

HowI owned a Cefiro before. I thought of changing it to Teana at first but I have decided against it. I do have some expectation for the Teana. Higher one of course. Naturally, it should be much improved version but it after viewing it, and trying for a drive, it is almost the same. The petrol consumption is worst for the old Cefiro. The new one has some improvement but not good enough. The features are better but still look a bit dated. The Steering wheel is still too large and not sporty. I do not like the moonroof! (2.5L) The CVT is the same. Can they make it more responsive, please. Other than that, I agreed that it has improved overall. I think I will not go for this Teana. Another reason is that the name changes making my old Cefiro out dated, meaning Teana will change its name to another after the facelift. OK, I still love Nissan overall but I am getting this one I will explore other Japanese cars for a change. Many thank you Nissan.... Read More
