I like it

Overall, I really like my Santa Cruz, some of my gripes are: When I want to take off fast(into traffic), no matter what mode, it can hesitate. I do not trust making a quick move. I wish the head support was adjustable like my Elantra was. The A/C does not get really cold, on hot days I have to have it maxed out, and then it is just cool.

Nice vehicle too expensive

I enjoy the vehicle but I do not enjoy the service that I have gotten with the vehicle at 20,000 miles. They tried to sell me new tires. Just not a very good experience overall.

Small but adequate

A very compact pickup truck that is economical to operate and fun to drive.

It has been a good car for my needs but reliability is poor

I waited for the SC Limited to come out because I like the design and concept. The Dual Clutch Transmission has been a significant failure and I am still waiting on repairs after 6 weeks in the shop. At 27k miles, there is no excuse for transmission failure.

Overall the truck is extremely comfortable and easy to drive. It drives better with extra weight within the back.

I love this car but for the price they cut a lot of corners.

Overall I love this car. I love the color and the way the paint has stayed nice and shiny. Lots of features for the driver. I love the safety features. Some safety features has saved me from having a accident. Lots of power from the engine. It is a shame that little things like no light in glove box and no button for garage door were left out.
