Best car truck I ever owned

I put a farm tag on this vehicle, as I use it to haul feed, salt blocks, and animals. The front half being car like, makes it very comfortable. The back half being truck like, makes it very convenient.

The is the only car I wish I could go back in time and in-purchase

I regret getting this car. If I had to do over I would get something else. Software is buggy and the lane keeping assist feature frequently stop working for no reason even during a bright and sunny day. It’s a pain to get service.

Not Worth the Money

poorly made, uncomfortable, no power, bad gas mileage, interior too small, my grandkids barely fit in the backseat and they are small/young still, exterior poorly made, my grill was busted after only having the car a few months from a rock on the highway hitting it. Very disappointed in this vehicle

A few quirks in the dream

My dream vehicle since it debut, it has mostly lived up to my expectations, even tho a few worrisome quirks (and a decent sized instrument issue) did dampen things a little.

2023 Santa Cruz

From a 2003 Jeep Wrangler to a 2023 Santa Cruz, what a difference. As someone who swore off modern technology, I love my Cruzer's features. I cannot travel our nation's interstate system without "lane following." This Santa Cruz makes my travels less stressful, which makes me a better man upon my arrival.
