Greetings to all fellow SantaFe owners.

I have a question for those of you who own one with the 2.4L engine: How does your engine sound? Does it humm smoothly or does it sound like a rather noisy diesel?

Mine is a 2012 with just 20,500 KM and I'm the only driver on it since new last year. It's a 6 speed manual and I'm an easy driver. Car has not been pushed at all.
The engine sounds like it needs a valve job already! Is this normal?
Please share your experience...
Thank you!
