Its that time to change my car and i'm looking for advice/opinions from people in Thailand that actually have one of the below cars...
I had a Fortuner in 2005 when they first came out, loved it but the ride was very hard so after 3 years swapped out to a Camry, much better ride. However time is up to swap again.
I'm looking at these models, new from dealer..
Nissan Teana 2.0L 200XL Sports Series
Toyota Camry 2.0G
Honda Accord 2.0EL
Toyota Fortuner 3.0V 2WD 50th
Comments/advice/opinions from members with one of these vehicles are very welcome.

Toyota Camry has the best second hand value.

If you're planning to keep it a while I'd go with the Honda, they wear pretty well.
Mine is a V6 though, need some Oomf! now and again.

I am a Honda guy, so I have to say Honda. Overall, Honda is good. One main thing that Honda need to work on is the noise...it's not a quiet ride.

Toyota Vios..
That would be the Altis  never seen a Vios used as a taxi in Bangkok.
DD> Driving to and from work every day (for all of 20 minutes each way) but i'm often away at weekends so plenty of 1.5hrs + motorway style journeys in a month. Family of 4.
TVN, LY> I've been a big fan of Honda since my first Accord in the UK, but following a few reviews it isn't winning on weight, the older engine design and apparently an aging look...i'm not sure.
VB> Toyota prices in general hold very well indeed, and the Camry is fully loaded at the G level
I must say the Teana has a luxury feel to it, but I found the seats to be a little narrow for my above average size (fat but not huge). Its also got the best write up for its engine design and 6 speed box. The Camry is still running the old 4 speed design engine.
Even a specific online review I found comparing Teana, Accord and Camry didn't recommend a clear winner.
Oh, Fortuner is out, I test drove one yesterday and after being spoiled by the Camry I just don't want that hardened ride, especially when it costs more.

... had the Fortuner 3.0 turbo, on which I put many motorway miles... roomy, reliable and powerful, but it is NOT a car... in it's class, I think it was a good choice I would make again.
... also drove a Honda CRV, for which parts were notably more expensive and fuel efficiency poorer than it's Toyota counterpart... maybe a similar concern for the Honda cars.

Since you're getting a new car, here are some tips for happier motoring:
1. Flashing high beams several times at another driver could get you shot.
Flashing of lights is generally a signal asking the car in front to give way, but flashing your lights several times could lead to a fight and someone could end up hurt, or worse. A good example is the case where a hot-headed boy shot and killed an air force officer who flashed his lights asking the boy to give way.
2. To cut in front of somebody is to cut short your life.
Frustrated by traffic jams, drivers could lose their temper when another vehicle suddenly cuts in front of them. It's a common scenario, he said. The agrieved driver then reciprocates and cuts in front of the other car, which could result in an accident. It could also end up in a brawl.
3. Don’t bother a teenage motorcycle gang blocking your way, contact police as soon as you see them.
It is very common to see them in a large group during the night. Motorcycle racing is very common on the streets. Call 191 as soon as you see them. Do not yell insults at them, or you could be beaten up.
4. Making illegal turns could get you into trouble.
Motorists should activate their signal lights well before making a turn, to avoid accidents and causing traffic congestion.
5. Do not turn on your fog lights, or secondary driving lights, unless needed.
Many people believe that turning on their fog lights does not bother anybody. But they can cause a problem for the driver in the car ahead of you and should be used only when there is a lot of fog or when driving in heavy rain.
6. Xenon lights are not cool, they can get you beaten up.
Xenon lights are not illegal but they can be very annoying to other motorists, and flashes and glares from the light can hurt their eyes and disrupt their driving. Moreover, drivers annoyed by the lights could pick a fight with you.
7. Properly prepare both yourself and your car.
Both the car and the driver must be in a fit condition to travel. This includes a healthy mind and attitude on the part of the driver. Do not get easily frustrated and do not allow anger to take control. It could cause an ccident, or other trouble that you don’t want.
8. Get a grip.
Clear conscience is important when you are on the road. Drinking and driving is not recommended. Most importantly, do not violate traffic laws and be civil when sharing the road with other drivers, or else it could lead to a fight or worse, even murder.
