I rented one of these and drove it from Lincoln Ne. to Salt Lake City Ut. It averaged 23 mpg @ 75 mph. It had a very comfortable ride & handled nicely. better than average sound system for the standard stereo. lots of leg room and I had a good clear veiw (no blind spots). I was able to sit comfortably in this car for the entire 12 hour trip. I was able to go about 350 mi. between fuel stops. I also liked the ground clearance & headroom, being 5'9" and 250 lbs it was easy to get in and out. The one I got had just over 30,000 miles on it and there was not the slightest rattle, squeek, or vibration. very smooth car. I have been shopping around for a crossover suv, the Hyundai Santa Fe is now my #1 choice, hands down and is definately going to be my next vehicle purchase! Oh, and it's easy on the eyes too!
For the price...this seems to pack the best bang for the buck!
