My Santa Cruz

I have enjoyed my new Santa Cruz a lot. It is great to drive. Very smooth for the short wheelbase. The only big issue is the bed cover. It is great looking. Seems secure. But, leaks when it rains or thru the car wash. Makes the bed almost unusable for anything that can’t get wet. I realize the manual says it is water resistive, but I am surprised at how much it leaks. I did have it back to dealer for adjustment but it didn’t help much. I guess I may have to remove it and replace it with a better cover. Dealership should warn potential customers of this potential leak issue.

Great little truck

We really like our little truck/car. The bells and whistles are very cool.

Steering and handling needs improvement as does the gas mileage.

Not a bad car, back seat too small, gas mileage not good, the auto steering features fight with the driver and is dangerous.

I feel like I'm in a grand SUV and a muscular truck at the same time.

Great in the winter but better in the spring and summer. Windows down and music playing. Feeling the breeze along the way. I haven't been happier with any other vehicle I have owned.

I put 30k miles on my SC in 1 year, reliability has been near 100% only problem occurred early on with a failed headlamp module. Ride, comfort flexibility of use and mpg have all been as expected or better.

Overall very nicer

Overall, has been very reliable. Three noticeable issues: 1. Build quality on driver's door; fit is off causing some air leaks around the moldings 2. Seats are turning out to be somewhat uncomfortable. 3. Rolling button for controlling the radio is a real pain

Ideal size for urban life.

Nothing large to haul any more so we no longer need a 3/4 ton truck. We live in town now and our Santa Cruz has proven to be the ideal size for urban living and is still a pleasure to travel in.

I love this vehicle for versatility. I wish I could’ve owned one many years ago because it suits my needs every day.

Multiple visits to different dealerships.

After visiting multiple dealerships in three states. The noise persists. Promised rides to the airport and promises and promises. None come through. Paid for my own uber to leave it for a week. It was driven three miles and nothing done. I’m so done with Hyundai. I’m not sure how many times a lower control arm needs to be replaced before we say this might be in the subframe and it may not be safe. I’ve never spent more time in dealerships in my life after buying a brand new vehicle.

Not up to my expectations.

When I first seen the Santa Ctuz I fell in love with the design, reminded me of the old El Camino. After a lot of consideration I purchased one. Little did I know how unhappy I would be. This vehecle has to have the cheapest tires on the market. In the first 14 months I have had 4 flat tires. Its not the area I drive either, one near home in Palm Bay, FL. One near Daytona Beach, FL, one in Miami, FL and the last in Tallahassee, FL. I drove my previous vehecle 11 years with one flat. On one instance I used the spare tire ( All others I was able to air up the tire and take it to a dealer for repair.) and the Santa Cruz electronics went absolutely nuts because I had an odd sized tire on it. Its not the costs, its minimal, its the inconvenience. Another major thing, I had an overheated warning on I-95, just outside Melbourne, FL. Waited 2 hours for Hyundai roadside service, very dangerous to wait on the shoulder of this major inerstate. Turns out something had went through the openings on the grill and punctured the radiator. Warranty would not cover it, $2000.00 + an Uber to get home, dealer would not give me a loaner. After about five weeks of dealing with Hyundai, no luck. It is absolutely Hyundai's poor design that caused this problem. I am in the process of trying to find a vehicle to replace it and it will definitely be the last time I ever own a Hyundai or promote them in any way. Dealership customer service satisfaction, none.

Fun to drive and a delight to own

When I decided to down size from a full size pickup to a smaller and more manageable unit the Hyundai Santa Cruz caught my attention with its style and features. It handles superbly and is quite fuel efficient .
