I'm planning to get a used Santa Fe. Which should I get, the Diesel or Petrol?
I'm always bias towards Diesel but after reading autoworld forum, and understanding the grading of diesel, should I still get the diesel one in Malaysia?

Diesel one should be the first choice, I believe if it can sell in Malaysia market surely it already been tune to Euro 2 diesel, then again since it is a used unit better to look at the condition of the SUV first & check previous owner usage.

I'm very keen on Bimer turbo diesel. But our diesel quality and maintenance/repairs of this engine is sort of holding me back. Any feedback?

maintenance cost on diesel engine is very high?

i'm still confused here, Hyundai sc said that santa fe crdi service schedule is including changing timing belt at 60k km. any owner can confirm it?

some said that it is using timing chain. ..
