 We bought this vehicle as a demo unit (it had about 2800 miles on it).  10,000 miles later and several trips and we've found it to be a very useful car that has a different look and some impressive features for the price.  The gas mileage seems a little on the poor side (it gets worse mileage than my 94 GMC Jimmy which has a bigger engine) but the overall ride is satisfactory.  The AWD is impressive and although I wouldn't take our Santa Fe for any serious off-roading, I would trust it to handle most mud and gravel driving without serious problems.  Parking in the city with this car will take some getting used to as it doesn't turn sharply...which we've found to be the only major handicap.
