Okay

Really like everything about the Santa Cruz so far but the 2 lights that indicate when the air conditioner is on are very dim and hard to see.

Santa Cruz

Suspension could be beefier takes bumps and pot holes hard nice ride on highway sport mode is nice would also be nice if back window could go up and down and also has a weird pulling effect when you go into tight turns ..

Seats are very uncomfortable for long rides

Doesn't have starting power. Acts weird. Important pop ups during driving which doesn't stay up enough to read. It disppears. My car is 4 month old. Shouldn't be poping up warnings.

Everything is great except…

The cruise control safety feature dings at me constantly when I’m looking at the road with two hands on the wheel. Great car otherwise.
