Trim package accessories came up short based on the cost of 37k.

For 37K the SLE activity package should have more features than it does. It is a shame that we get a plastic steering wheel, the passenger seat does not offer electric adjustments and the seats are not ventilated.

Sharp looking and comfortable

Truck features, car comfort ride, easy to use technology. Not built for fast action, is built for smooth handling.

Utility in a small-ish package

Front seat room is great, rear is fine assuming you're not equipped with legs. The non-turbo is distinctly underpowered, but on the plus side it's getting over the advertised MPG. The turning circle is enormous. Coming from a sporty small CUV, the fun factor is non-existent but the utility factor is 100% more.

Overall car quality is fantastic. Many new needed updates 2025.

Great truck with great features. Too many safety features which takes away from the experience. Cruise control is not user friendly and my car 10 years old is better - easier to use.

Overall positive with a few minor irritations and bugs

I like the car. This is my 2nd Santa Cruz, the first being a 2022. Small item I miss from my other Santa Cruz is the memo record function. It was an easy way to jot something down without disrupting driving safety. My model does not have adaptive cruise, which should in my opinion be a standard part of any car with cruise control. Lane assist was not as accurate as my 2022. The car will tend to wander back and forth between the lines. Also has a tendency to ride closer to one side than the other.
