Should have been here 2 years ago, the Teana arrives to the executive car party and sadly, disappoints. It maybe leagues ahead of the Cefiro that it replaces, but it can't compete with the league's big boys. That said, there are some nifty toys such as intelligent key system and rear back-up camera, but this car still manages to under whelm.
A big step in the right direction for Nissan in this category.
Still 2 steps behind the competition.
