Love my truck

I love everything abo ut it except a glitch that randomlyl turns off radio and gps. I can get out all back but it is frustrating and not good when you are traveling unknown roads and your gps is gone.

My Cruz

The vehicle is a joy to drive and own. Dealership knowledge is lacking. I was charged a diagnostic fee for them to tell me that I needed a certain Hyundai part that they should have known I needed from the beginning. They are representing the manufacturer and therefore should have some knowledge of the vehicle they sell

Cruzin'

I really enjoy the comfort and ride of this vehicle. I always have the feel of control when driving, especially when needing to dodge objects in the road. I enjoy the options equipped but I do find some of them difficult to use. I placed a 4 star on this vehicle due to it needing more power. The ability to pass/over-take another vehicle was a learned experience, with when doing so the first time, I almost went head-on into oncoming traffic due to not allowing a full 3 minutes to over-take a vehicle. When passing, the engine over-revs, in my opinion, causing needless wear on engine components. The planning of extra space when passing and simply pulling into traffic or merging onto highway can be dangerous due to lack of power. If it wasn't for the poor engine power, I would rate this vehicle at a 5 star. The engine either needs equipped with a turbo, or a 6 cylinder option.

Fun but cheap

This is a fun time drive mini truck. I really like the styling but it is the economy version of other small trucks.

LOVE MY NEW SANTA CRUZ

First new car in 15 years. Well worth the wait. Wanted a small truck and this is better than what I could have hoped.

Beautiful truck, amazing gas mileage, terrible windshield!

I had been researching the Santa Cruz for a little over 1 year prior to my purchase. I have to say, I'm mostly satisfied. My wife drives an Elantra SEL. I purchased the SEL Activity Santa Cruz and have less features than what she does. Not having adaptive cruise control was a bit of a shock. I assumed it had it considering my wife's Elantra does and is one step down in package. The windows are TERRIBLE! I've owned it less than 3 months and 2 miniscule rocks cracked the windshield immediately. The sliding back window also cracked overnight. Not sure how as it was sitting in front of my home. I have a Ring camera and there were no people that were near the truck either. When I went to go get a new windshield, it is going to be almost $1,000 and I don't have any rain sensing, heated, etc. It is just a normal windshield. While the truck is absoultely stunning and has great gas mileage, I am extremely unhappy with the glass. Had I known it was as weak as it is, I would've explored other options after spending as much as I did. Also, purchased it in Chambersburg and only received a 2 month inspection, that should've been my sign.
