After a bad experience with a ~2007 Subaru XT (big turbo - drank oil and eventually tried to digest the turbo guts through the engine) we got back on the horse and have a '13 Hyundai Santa Fe 2.0 turbo. It's pretty quick for a toaster, and about as exciting. Doesn't really consume much oil but does throw a big puff when you really get on it. I'm replacing the PCV valve today - we'll see if that fixes it.

Sure you can build a high-stress-but-forever engine but it costs you. At grocery-getter price points I'm pessimistic.
