Overall car so far is good. But tires are not very good. Bumpy ride.

Tire quality is very poor. When I’m driving feels like I’m on a bumpy road. I’ve replaced two tires of my own money. Need to upgrade tire quality.

Perfect size for me,unique looking car.

The scariest thing about this car, if something happen mechanically with this car you better pray they honor the warranty.

Cruzin truck

Love our 2025 Santa Cruz Limited! We had a 2023 mid range Cruz for two years, decided to upgrade to Limited, it has everything in it that we wanted, handles great, comfortable, powerful turbo, nice styling, functional, surprises me weekly with something new. DRIVER 1+2! Of coarse if I read the manual I would know, but fun getting surprised.

I like it but…

There’s not a lot of room for it to feel like a truck and makes you feel like you should’ve bought the Kona or Tuscon money wise (and those are more roomy). My biggest complaint is the dealership didn’t include all weather floor mats or floor mats in general, mine didn’t come with any floor mats! Roof rails at least were there. Truck bed is nice to have but wish the inner truck bed storage was deeper like the Honda Ridgeline’s. Biggest feature I do like is the tech inside! Overall, not terrible and we’ll see how it goes in the coming years!

OK.

Manuals are not specific to one model. Front grill needs some kind of screen to protect a/c and radiator from damage.

Exactly what I was looking for.

Love the size, features, and power. Exactly what I was looking for to meet my needs. I am a bit disappointed in the limited leg room in the back and the fact that even with my limited trim, it didn’t come with back up sound sensors.
