I love my truck!

I love the looks, ride and comfort of my vehicle. I've driven it on a 15hr road trip and was not disappointed in it!

Great all around vehicle

Great balance between comfort, efficiency, size, and utility. Whether it’s driving your daily commute, or taking a trip to the local hardware store and picking up some mulch. It can get it done. I do believe it needs more horsepower though. Vehicle really seems lacking, especially when you turn the ac on. Little nervous on that. I did not want a turbo, especially paired with the dual clutch transmission. All in all I’m very happy with it and love this Santa Cruz SEL Activity.

Bbbbbbbbbbbbb

I would not have bought the vehicle if I knew it did not come with parking sensors. You should have a shut off for parking sensors when towing It an important feature also key fob to big takes up half my pocket!!! Customer care number is useless they read from a manual and can’t troubleshoot tried three different agent with no results. USELESS!!!!

Great technology on an economical small truck

Rides very comfortably has a great sound system and the technology really is amazing for a vehicle at this price point.

Dual Clutch.

I like the truck, but do not like the dual clutch. It is the worst when you back up and then try to go forward. It hesitates. I don't trust it to go off-road or tow anything, even though they say you can, due to past breakdowns. On the other hand, the truck is very fast and fun to drive. I would buy another one if you get rid of the clutch.

Great little truck. Turn off the steering wheel camera!!!

I really like just about everthing about my Hyundai Santa Cruz. It looks great, handles great, and is very comfortable to drive. But the steering wheel camera can't recognize my full face when I wear dark wraparound sun glasses. So it shuts off my safety features.......... dumb!

No power

Does not have enough power for me, rides like a low end 4 cylinder vehicle, for being brand new you would expect some power drive behind it, cant imagine how it will run 2 years from now
