A cheetah in wolf's clothing!
It wasn't originally on my radar, but after seeing and experiencing the Santa Cruz 2.5L Turbo, I've converted. Not only does it feel and sound and handle like a much more expensive car or truck, it somehow combined the best of both worlds. It looks mean, in a good way, and drives even meaner. Acceleration is frightening and handling is amazing. Steering is quick and responsive, just like the brakes, and the controls are all quite intuitive. Despite it feeling like a sports car, the interior is comfortable and stylish. Smart driving mode helps improve my mileage, and my average city/highway is 24-26 and 29-31 respectively. The modest truck bed has even proved itself useful in daily life. Oh, and it can tow nearly 5,000 pounds! I'm officially keeping my Santa Cruz until I'm dead!
