Starter Truck

The Santa Cruz is comfy, is great at minimizing road noise, and looks great!

Best girly truck choice ever!!!

I absolutely love this model. It’s a smooth ride. Backseats are roomier than I expected. I’m always getting compliments on the style! I definitely recommend!

Love this small truck

I really love this truck. It's comfortable, really good on gas, and it looks really sharp since I've added a few things to it. Still have other ideas to add. But for now it's great. The only 2 things that is a disappointment, 1) if I decide to add a hitch to it, I have to purchase over $1100 for the harness that goes behind the fuse box and the harness that connects to the left rear finder well just for the lights on a trailer. The previous year models were already equipped with this feature. 2) My SEL does not have the distance warning setup on the windshield front sensor. I don't get a warning until I am basically right on top of another vehicle. I tested this with the dealership and with my son. This is a safety feature that should be on any trim of a vehicle. I worked in the automotive industry for a decade as a Quality Control Engineer in several different plants. This feature cost for the harnesses and distance setting option is pennies on the dollar, and shouldn't be only for the upper trim models dependent on the features. Shame on you Hyundai for leaving this most important safety feature out for the lessor trim models. Other than that, I still love it.

Our Santa Cruz is perfect for us

We are very happy with our new Santa Cruz! The technology is great, ride is smooth, handling is wonderful, and fit and finish done very well. The only draw back we have found is that the lower touch screen control panel indicator lights are extremely hard to see during the daytime, even with the brightness all the way up. It’s just an annoyance really, but the driver can’t see what controls are on or off easily.

Car is not worth the money

The car is small. Materials are cheap. Car doors need to be slammed to close properly.

Where is this touchscreen taking me anyhow?

Overall, I love this vehicle. However, there are some shortcomings. The different functions access through the touchscreen, scroll buttons, and tabs are not very intuitive or user friendly. Just plain confusing for an ole fart like me. Also, acceleration is not very responsive. Getting up to speed takes patience.

Santa Cruz Review

I very much enjoy my Hyundai Santa Cruz and will probably NOT buy another vehicle, as I am content with the vehicle I have. I have since even enhanced its look (which I call "full military dress") with front A-bar attenuator, side window, sunroof and front hood deflectors, bed rails and running boards. She is now so *hot* that I almost need asbestos gloves to even touch the handle! Love my HSC!
