I Like My Hyundai

I like the tech, look and ride of my Santa Cruz. I should have bought the turbo model but it was difficult to justify as I don't drive very much.

Absolutely love it!

I wish it had more ground clearance, but other than that, it is everything I wanted, everything the sales guy promised. Comfortable, capable, and gets good gas mileage , even with the turbo engine (average 28mpg)

Unnecessary Restrictions

Inconsistent door unlocking. When I approach the vehicle with the fob, it should open. But if my hands are full, it will not unlock. I can wear some sunglasses while driving, but a certain pair will trigger a suggested break message. Annoying.

Great little Truck!

Great transportation, great fuel economy, great ride!! My husband fits in comfortably (he is 6 foot tall) It is roomy enough to transport a refrigerator and just about anything else we need to move. The ride is smooth and quiet and so comfortable. It feels so safe too. Best vehicle we own (we have also have a 2012 Hyundai Accent!)

I Would Love My Santa Cruz But....

I like everything about the vehicle except the plastic rear quarter panels. They have melted on both sides causing wrinkles in the paint and actual dent appearances. Had the local dealer look at it and they confirmed it was caused by UV rays and that it would not be covered. I went through the Hyundai 800 number for assistance and they directed me to the BBB site. Hyundai has denied the claim and we are now getting ready to go to arbitration. If the plastic Hyundai uses for quarter panels is so cheap that I can't have it outside for fear of melting, I'm not really sure what use I have for the vehicle. Step up Hyundai and back the quality of the materials you use,

Don’t buy it

Transmission had to be replaced before I even had it a year. And the new transmission is slipping. Bad design!
