Calgary accountant Bart Vultaggio describes himself as cheap when he says he has just over 270,000 kilometres on his 1993 Chrysler Voyager van, which he calls his “old warhorse.”

What’s more, he probably won’t replace it until the odometer reads 300,000.

But after driving the 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe SUV for a week, he concludes the vehicle represents “really good value for the money.”
