Mechanic also suggested Isuzu MUX for a long term travel car with an unbustable (diesel) drivetrain. Anyone own one? Is it as uncomfortable as some private reviewers say?

Apparently it's not a "true torque converter auto, but Mazda's own development.

It’s mated to an in-house eight-speed automatic transmission. It doesn’t use a traditional torque converter setup, instead it uses a wet clutch.

Should have just called ZF.
I also believe the CX inline sixes have rear timing chains if that is an issue down the track.
One day I'm going to have to replace our Terri, although as a late 2016 build, 62,000km it's doing ok...but that buying itch does flare up sometimes.
