Depends on what you want to do with it.

What sort of opinions do you expect going into a Hyundai newsgroup and
asking such a question?

Of course I (we?) recommend the Santa Fe, provided its intended
purpose is in keeping with its designed mission.

I suggest for more unbiased opinions, you check publications such as
Consumer Reports and auto magazines, and even online review sources
such as Edmund's.

Agreed.

>it is a bit thirsty so be ready to up your gas budget...

Compared with what? Not a Yukon, Expedition or some other war tank.

Mine just crossed 1300 miles and I changed oil and filter to Mobil 1
0W-30 and already I am seeing an average of 21.1 mpg on my 30 mile
commute mix of freeway and some city. I expect to end up with a steady
22 mpg plus.

I get an average of 20 miles to the gallon.
I have 36,000 miles give or take a few, I only put mobile super syn. new car
formula, and use super gas in her.

Then, that's your car.
Mine is: 03 Santy LX, 3.5L V6,  38,000 miles
18 MPG City, 24 MPG Hwy, can get 28 MPG in Hwy if stay at 50-55 MPH.
Plain dino oil 10W-40 (I live in Florida, hot here, during the 3 cold
months use 5W-30), change every 3,000 miles.
Not a single problem yet ... hope stays that way 5 five more years.
