Midsize SUV - what would you look at?

Santa Fe Sport with the 2.0 Turbo. You will be surprised how much nicer it is than the competition. Hyundai has their product line nailed down these days.

If the new Santa Fe is anything like the 2003 that I traded in for my new Jeep Cherokee Trail Hawk, you can't go wrong. We've had Hyundai's for over 20 years, and they've always been very good. The one thing that I didn't like about the Santa Fe Sport was having to use premium fuel (same with the Ford Escape with 2.0L turbo). I also didn't like the 2.0L, 4-cylinder having to work hard to move this heavy vehicle.

I'm going to have to go with this. Had one as a rental as it drove pretty good. At first I didn't like the light feeling of the steering wheel but then I saw that you can adjust between comfort, sport, etc. Put it in sport and it felt just right.
