"It is recommended, but unfortunately they don't make it any more"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Interior center console cover lock is broken. The cover dangles there, but fortunately it opens and closes vertically, so it is not so noticeable.

Alternator gone out and killed the battery at about 100,000 km.. which is kind of expected.

General comments?

It is a very reliable and economical car.

No major defect of any kind. Just put the diesel fuel in, it will go.

With only highway driving, I can get closely to 950 km (590 mile) with full tank 75L + 80L more to fill to the brim. Amazing mileage. At first, I thought I was driving a hybrid SUV.. not diesel SUV..

Handling is a bit not too responsive. It feels like I had to turn the steering wheel more to get the same turning angles. It gets very tiring steering when you are trying to park the car in a small space. Especially with its age, the power steering is getting weaker and thus it requires more physical power to manipulate the vehicle.

Suspension is terrible. It really feels like you are driving a farm truck. Riding comfort, especially when you are not on a paved road, is very very low.

Ask yourself why they don't make them anymore - they were rubbish to start with, and you couldn't get a dealer to take one PX.

I think that says it all.
