The Honda Accord is quite spacious and luxurious from the inside. You can have a sleepover in the car itself. The interiors are fantastic and up to the mark. There is no sign of complaining with Honda. Everything looks perfect and in its place. Teana on the other hand compresses looks of boldness. Well you might need to take the permission of the car before entering. Its looks royal and luxury is delivered straight from the manufacturing unit of Nissan.
Handling and feel
Now this is the section where the Nissan falls behind the Honda. However the Accord is quite organized and composed when it comes to handling. They have developed the perfect chassis which can handle the engine and down force created on the car. The Teana on the other hand is not that great when it comes to handling. Lots of electronics are installed in the Teana which makes the driving to be programmed and not applied.
Engine and feel
Both of them feel as if you are cruising on a spaceship. The comfort and power delivered from those cars is superb. None of them lack when it comes to power delivery. On the Accord things are different, you can feel the rev going higher and higher. The Teana electronics will take you at higher RPM. This sort of feels unadulterated or something is missing from the drink.
Time to go to the ATM
A biased reply would be that one that has got to do with luxury and elegance. By seeing the reality and value of luxury and elegance, all you need is an engine which delivers high economy and unmatched power. It has to be the Honda Accord which can do magic in this situation.

How expensive are the spares? And the mileage obtained under City conditions/ can any user of Teana throw light on this? OR can an Accord user convince me and tell me as to why i should look at an Accord instead of a Teana?
