I'm also fairly certain that the 6 is about 1 km/L more thirsty. And 1 km/L from 6 to 7 km/L is already 17% more. Unless you're saying that if the 3 gets 7 km/L, the 6 can get 6.5 km/L.

The Santa Fe looks cheap and old to me, and again, expensive. It was nice during its time because of the 200hp but it was never pretty. The Sorento looks good to me but still way too expensive since earliest you could get is a 2010 model. Also, I look at expenses on a 5-year horizon and 500+k for a Santa Fe is just not recoverable vs. a 3/6/Focus.

I suppose it depends on one's driving habits and route. I really can't imagine a 2.0 4AT getting 7km/L with me. :D If you can get that to squeeze out 7km/L, I'm sure you'd be able to get better than just 6km/L in the 6. We were able to get 7km/L out of our Accord after all.

Having both a 2005 Accord and a 2011 Santa Fe, I'd say the cabin quality is actually pretty much similar. Definitely not cheap-ish and not at all plasticky like many SUVs.

The Focus is a good proposition. But then, I really don't like the interior and that's where you'd be spending countless hours in. If only it had the Mazda 3 interior...
