Does what I need it to do, but is lacking a few things that would've made it a perfect "10".

It’s a wonderful little car.

It’s a great little car. Fun to drive. I went from a Chevy Silverado and this is perfect for me. I’m getting around 34 miles a gallon.

Pleased

I am very pleased with my Santa Cruz. It is very comfortable to drive. I like having the bed feature for hauling small loads. I don’t haul a lot or even big loads so the size is perfect for me.

Love my new Hyundai Santa Cruz

This is my first pickup truck that I have owned. I love everything about it. The performance of the 2.5 turbo 4 paired with the 8 speed automatic transmission plus the H-Trac AWD is awesome! I chose the limited model because of all the standard features I wanted were included.

I feel like I'm on an exciting excursion anywhere I drive.

I love that I don't feel like I'm driving a truck, but I have the perks of a truck. It is very comfortable, I don't feel the seat belt at all, and I was pleasantly surprised during my first long trip at how comfortable it really is. I can't wait to go to the beach off-roading this summer. My kayak fits in bed without needing the rack for short trips. Rack was included with my utility package, I need to get that on. I love the truck look, with its larger tires and mean-looking front grill. The 20" wheels could be chunkier with a thicker tread to complement the mean truck look. It has a smooth ride and decent acceleration, though I'm skeptical of the towing capacity and if the acceleration will bog down with added weight. The uphill giddy-up isn't stellar. Gas mileage is surprisingly not fabulous, at least not like the Santa Fe, which I thought it would be. The Dashboard is my window to the world with information at my command, it's very impressive. I'm still discovering it, it's a lot. The truck bed cover is great, even after a car wash, it's dry inside. The passenger room in the back is minimal. Even for a child in a car seat, my grandson's feet hit the front seat, which concerns me if there were a collision.

I really like it !!

I looked at the Santa Cruz for a couple of years before I bought it. I did wait for the new interior. However, I do firmly believe that on the Limited package which is supposed to be the top of the line model , it should have had more options. It should have had folding side view mirrors and heads up display, at least make them available as options !!! But .... other than that, I really cannot find much fault. I do wish it had a 4-1/2' or 5' bed, but I have managed so far.
