I tested it a whole weekend and I did not find any argument for this lens -despite the range, but a good range with poor images is not my idea. The kit lens EF-S 18-55 is defintely better: sharper and less distortions when wide open. I would not barter my kit-lens, not even for nothing.
If You really want an extremely good lens take a look at EF-S 17-55 2.8, but dont spoil Your money for the EF-S 17-85.

I tested it a whole weekend and compared it with EFS 17-85 and the kid lense EFS 18-55.
EFS 17-85 is terrible bad, worse than the kid lense!
The 17-55 2.8 is much better than the kid lens. It is much sharper and shows more details. But is it worth the difference?!? And it is heavy, especially when considering mountain hiking!
