.......... 501,000 miles on a 2005 Santa Fe. Still going strong. No majors. Original transmission, original motor, only routine maintenance. Nothing leaking. .............

Can't match that 501K, but just crossed 326,500 on my 2004 Santa Fe. Likewise, original engine and tranny. Replaced radiator in 2015, alternator in '16, and first time for starter in 2017 after 305,000. Got no complaints, got my money's worth out of my 1st one from the car czar in Downingtown. Will go back there for the next one!..

Its nothing like driving a zippy [comfortable] petrol.

But i like my diesel ute. ....i can't really put my finger on why specifically.

I have not owned a petrol vehicle in about 40 years.

Interesting.
I might like owning a diesel. I love old wooden houses.
To the extent I would not build a brick thing.
