The 4AT gets the Camry to 120 kph in 4th gear at 3,000 rpm. Would've been more economical I suppose if there were a 5th gear, but in terms of passing power, it's probably geared about right.

Anyhow, going back to the TS, it's a matter of preference -- SUV or sedan -- to replace the MB. Both are good rides, and the price and condition will dictate whether they're good buys. Good luck.

One inch different lang naman. Pero yung pep ng 2.0L is surprising talaga. To think na ang dadaming mag-iisip dyan na "2.0L lang yan eh malaki kaha nyan, for sure underpowered blah blah". Ang bibo nya para sa size and engine displacement nya. Compelling choice din ang Mitsubishi Galant 240M. Kaso, kinda allergic ako sa Mitsubishi. Kung Mirage na hotcake wala sila on the spot na pyesa, what more tong casa sleeping beauty na Galant? Mazda 6 2.3 (facelifted) should be good too.

Haven't driven a 2.4L so I can't compare. But the 2.0L is no slouch indeed, even on 18s. Medyo na-feel ko na yung bigat nung 20s ang nakakabit. Hehehe! Anyhow, upak na!

Ive had a 323 then 6th gen accord then a32 cefiro plus 260e respectively so i guess since same weight category yung past 3 rides ko, nanjan yung xtrail to balance things out plus i've always been a fan of both cars but ngayon lang may chance to acquire either of the two.

Halos doble daw kung nataon na 2000 model. Sa mga may midsize cars year 2000 and older, share nyo naman yung MVUC nakasulat sa OR nyo.

Agree. 98 a32 cefiro ko registeres last june cost me 6.3k!

So, technically cheaper ang newer Cefiro? Is that what it means? Or does the cylinder number count for something?

No basis na yung engine displacement or number of cylinders, size and weight na yung basis ng LTO. Mas mura na rehistro ng mga midsizers na 2001-onwards. Not sure though kung yung 8th gen Accord (2008-2012) and newer Camry's are still classified as a Medium Car, pero di naman sosobra sa 2300kg ang mga yan.

Camry all the way.

What's wrong with your 260E? Kung ako lang, di ko pagpapalit yon to either the Camry or Xtrail. We have a 92 260E which we have owned since it got here in '92, sure it had its fair share of issues but when everything has been sorted nothing beats the old Benz, my dad used to own it until he stopped driving then handed it down to me. My bro has an '06 Camry 3.0 which will be up for sale soon. Having driven both cars, the Camry may be quicker, no contest about that. But the Benz is still immensly more satisfying to drive especially on long journeys.
