Jesus Christ. That is rough.

[@axelfoley1768]

The actual Jesus Christ isn't rough, he's willing to wipe your slate clean & give you a new beginning & eternal-life after your pathetic life (like all of ours) is over... John 3:36 "He that believes in the Son has everlasting life: and he that disregards the Son shall not see life; but instead, the wrath of God abides on him." And if God's wrath is on you, then you're well-&-truly screwed, with no recourse or way out 😢 Try accepting his offer 🫴 it's about the best news anyone could ever hear.. Mark 16:15-16 "And Jesus said unto them, Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every person. He that believes and is baptized (submerged in water after repenting & confessing Jesus as Lord) shall be saved; but he that doesn't believe shall be damned." If you think hell doesn't exist watch the KZbin vid... "Pastor spends 23 minutes in hell"

I had an Everest for 6 years.

I have an early 2016 Everest Limited (titanium) 3.2, the fist of this generation. I bought it with only 7000km on the clock in 2018. I just hit 50 000km a few weeks and have had no mechanical issues, and no rust issues. The only issue I have had is the tailgate issue, which was compounded by the tailgate being really poorly fitted from the factory. My vehicle is out of warranty so I'll have to have it repaired out of my own pocket. Other than that, this vehicle is exceptional. I have serviced the vehicle every year whether I have hit the distance interval or not, but this long list of problems doesn't exactly fill me with confidence for my next 50 000km though.

It'd be good to ask the owners what their various maintenance regimes have been from an interior perspective. When you reviewed the SK Forester you said the leather was hard, but mine is about the same age and mileage, and I manage to use upholstery protection every 3 to 6 months and it's still about the same as new, maybe a bit shinier, but still fairly soft. This with 190k, would be good to know, is it mainly a long haul cruiser, or a daily commuter, because what hurts the seat bolsters is entry and egress movements, more than necessarily being sat in, so if it's driving a few hundred ks at a time vs 10k, it can make a big difference.
