Would M1 EP stand up to 7500 miles of severe service?

As someone who grew up driving the mean streets of NYC and now lives outside Boston and drives in Boston frequently...it's not that bad.

At least NYC makes sense. I've driven through both and Boston is worse IMO

I just might if you take care of it; I'm sure there are some examples of them out there.

There are plenty of stories of accents and elantras with high miles. Hyundai has had their problem engines but lots of them are very good. Let's also not forget the people who buy hyundai's are often people who fail to keep up with maintenance. I can't tell you how many hyundai's, kias, and nissans make the front page of r/justrolledintotheshop because someone never changed the oil or other completely preventable failure.

Again, you may just be one. Just not my experience with my old XG300, Elantra, Sonata or daughter's Tucson... How many Hyundai's have you owned before this one?

Picture hell...then put it in a blender on high speed and punch yourself in the face while doing it. Then poor the blended hell into a tall glass and drink. That’s Boston driving.

No, honestly it’s the worst driving you can do...worse than NY city in my opinion. Roundabouts, construction, detours, stop and go. Heavy acceleration just to get in position or else you won’t make your turn or exit. I’ve had cars just rub right up against me. You fight for every inch. Your car is pushed hard. Your brakes are smoking hot. If you don’t drive like that? Like I said, you‘ll mis your turn or exit and then you’ll be stuck driving through hell for miles and miles just to get back to the spot you missed. I hate it. Throw in five months of horrible winters with bellow freezing weather, salt, ice, snow. Traffic traffic traffic.

I see. Boston driving is worst than what my BMW sees on track, and apparently winters are worse than what same car sees at the Rockies.
i drove in Boston. Try to get out a bit and drive in another places. For start, visit Rome or Bucharest.
Relax, your oil is fine. And cars rubbing against each other doesn’t have anything to do with oil.

Oh yes and don't forget the road layout is beyond idiotic. Even with a GPS and experience I make at least two wrong turns a day. Smoking brakes is no understatement. I've had several instances of loud grinding and squealing on brand new pads and rotors because the pads and rotors and different materials in them got so hot they expanded unevenly and made a horrendous racket.

If you have smoking brakes in Boston you might reconsider maintenance or vehicle you drive. I for example never have smoking brakes on track, or blasting down from the Rockies.
