see below

the instrument lighting for ac and heating is too faint to read easily. the truck bed cover should be designed to be water proof.

Really enjoy driving the Santa Cruz

The Santa Cruz feels like a SUV, but has the truck bed for hauling.

Overall great vehicle. No regrets.

Easy to drive & park. Styling, safety, & tech are on point. Bose sound and sunroof on Limited give it a sporty & fun feel. A couple very minor final fit/finish issues but overall very well designed and put together well. Very happy with my purchase and comfortable on my first 2,200 mile road trip. 29 mpg with conservative driving on the highway.

Great little truck

Great little truck with a lot of useful innovations, well thought out to maximize its usefulness like the 1/2 way lock on the tailgate, under bed storage and molded 2x6 slot in the bed to make a shelf

Exceeded my Expectations

I have had a pu truck for most of my life as I was part of the single family housing contractors. After retiring I wanted a vehicle that gave me more mileage and settled on a KIA Soul purchased new in 2012. Having almost 140 thousand miles on this vehicle I decided to replace it with a small pick up truck as I missed that ability you have with a pu. After looking what was available and having ridden in Honda RidgeLine I tried a Hyundai Santa Cruz and really like the feeling of driving an SUV but having the exterior pu was a clincher. And the topping is I get at least 25 plus mpg and have had 32mpg on an extended trip. This is a really quiet and great riding vehicle.
