Love m6 Santa Cruz

I like almost everything about this vehicle. Great driver, great safety features, good mpg, versatile and stylish. My only negatives are rear vision is a bit limited, however, but when reversing, the backup camera is great. Headlights seem marginal due to the low mounting design.

Great small truck

Answers my need to transport yard waste, kayaks and other items while handling like a car. I feel safe driving it because of all the latest safety features.

Drives like an SUV but functions as a small truck.

Handles like a Hyundai SUV but functions also as a truck when you need to haul things.

My Santa Cruz

I saw a Santa Cruz in a parking lot, I thought to myself 'I have to get one of those '. Three days later I bought one. A month later a friend bought one- identical to mine, same color .

versatile vehicle

the vehicle is stylish and versatile for carrying items in a small truck bed. The front seat area is roomy and display panel is simple to navigate. My only complaint is the engine is a bit sluggish but to upgrade to a model with a bigger engine wasn't worth the large added expense because it is only available on the higher end models which add more bells and whistles that I don't need or want to pay for.

It’s been a great little truck.

I have had no problems with my Santa Cruze and on my first long trip in it I made an average of over 35mpg.

Good reliable vehicle except ...

The rear hatch system failed after 2 years. Required a month to get fixed. The rear seating is not very suitable for adults. The bed size is OK for most things.

Good little truck

This is the perfect vehicle for those who want a truck and a sedan. The technology is amazing. They built an ice. Chest is great and it handles extremely well. It is a bit noisy, but not terribly bad.

Overall good vehicle for the money

I do enjoy the Santa Cruz and am happy it tows up to 5,000 pounds - however, I wish it had a 4 pin connector as well as 7pin connector for towing. It currently only has 7pin which requires an adapter to tow something that uses 4 pin.
