Best Vehicle I have ever owned

This truck is a solidly built awesome looking high tech driving machine. The safety features work perfect. I love the 360 degree camera. The ride is Today is 1 year anniversary of owning my Santa Cruze. Today a person commented on how cool the truck looked. That has been going on all year long.

Love this little truck.

I have owned many full sized trucks over the years and very seldom did I use their capability. The Santa Cruz gives me everything I need in a smaller package. Fuel economy, enough towing capacity, quiet, comfortably, yet sporty ride, and kick butt acceleration with the turbo. Hauls my kayak, paddle board, fishing and hunting gear with space to spare.

Pretty on the outside, pretty small on the inside

Design gets looks, plan a little extra time at gas stops. Although it only holds 15 gallons so a lot. of these encounters. First thing I recommend after purchase is put some screen mesh behind the grill to protect radiator. Nothing worse traveling on vacation and get a rock hit radiator. Then no radiator to be found within 5 states.

Love the features hate the transmission

Transmission went out on brand new truck 28 days after purchase. Transmission went out again exactly 9000 miles after they replace the first transmission. Transmission went out again one week after they fix the second transmission. After that I told him I was trading it in or filing for the lemon law. .

Great Sweet Ride!!!!

This is an awesome little truck! I’ve hauled rocks and furniture in this thing. We bought one for my wife and now I’d love to buy one for myself but don’t want a secondary large payment. I would recommend this little truck to anyone!!!

Best compact truck on the market

I know a lot of people who will tell me this vehicle is not a truck but let me tell you it can put in the work of a larger truck. It was the main vehicle we used when we were building a new bathroom and it worked great. From transporting the vanity to the entire shower insert, this small truck never broke a sweat.

Great for what it can do

I would like to say first off that I am short, 5'3" tall, so although I have wanted a pickup for some time, I was not going to purchase a vehicle I had to climb into and couldn't see the corners properly to maneuver. I also wanted a truck I could actually fit in my garage-most trucks are too tall to fit. I loved the idea as soon as I saw one in ads and sneak peeks. I test drove the base model, because that was the only thing available at the time [10/21]. I enjoyed the ride, the seats, the steering, visuals, styling, you name it. My only criticism was the engine power, a little lagging in my opinion. So I purchased an SEL Premium with the Turbo without having even sat in that trim level. I don't have to climb in, though my mother who has back issues has a little trouble getting in. I have good visibility and the back up camera has great sight lines. The locking tonneau cover is a must in my opinion, which I love. The bed has two cubbies on the sides, plus a storage area in the bed itself. There are foot rests in the corner of the bumpers which work great for getting in and out of the bed. There is storage under the rear seats which holds your jack and can hold other tools. But I will say the rear seats are tight for average to tall adults, children and short people like myself are fine. I have seen owners fit 3 car seats in the rear by the way. The safety features work well -lane assist, cross traffic warning, and blind spot monitoring can be life savers. I have driven through 2 blizzards in Western New York on winter tires, with no issues and full confidence in steering, acceleration, maneuvering, braking, and traction. I have hauled a dozen bags of mulch, each 2 cubic feet, and closed the cover. I haven't towed anything yet, so I can't speak on that. I also had no problems with the transmission, which some complained about. Overall is this a full size truck? No, it's not, and I don't want to be driving one-I would have purchased one if that was the case. I wanted to do truck "stuff" without having to deal with the size and mpg of a full size truck. Which, by the way, I am averaging 26 mpg per tank of gas and I drive 17 miles a day 5 days of the week which is a combination of suburban, expressway, and city driving.

Santa Cruz: If only you were Electric you would be my Dream Truck

Smooth ride. Adequate fuel economy. Wish it was a hybrid then it would be perfect. Looks great get lots of compliments, lots of what is that I’ve never seen that before. Fun to drive. Week after purchasing drove it on a 2400 road trip. Felt safe on the road with the other cars and big rigs

Great Little "Car"

This vehicle is a dream to drive, peppy, responsive and easy to handle. I think the greatest flaw, in my perspective, is not having a two door model (much like the concept). This would have been so much better. With an option for the back seat to have greater storage for things, rather than people. I have never seen one with person in the back. Overall I love to drive the vehicle and after a year of ownership I still am happy I made the purchase.

Rosa Cruz

Overall impression at 24000 miles is excellent. Fit and finish a very nice with no complaints. Ergonomics are perfect, every detail was considered. Towing capacity is better than expected. Ride height under load is undetectable. Very reasonable fuel economy for my aggressive driving style. Strong performance from the engine and equally impressive braking. A really surprise for this type a vehicle.

Santa Cruz

This vehicle is not great for the amount of money that it cost. Styling is okay gets a lot of looks. Transmission seems to slip by sound only on cold days it doesn't like to shift at all and dealership refuses to acknowledge a problem in this department customer services is severely lacking the bed needs to be a foot to 2 ft longer all vehicles need to come with LED lighting which the halogen lights give an appearance of cheapness. All vehicles need to come with a bed cover of some fashion. And all vehicles need to come with interactive cruise control. Overall decent enough vehicle but not worth the value of the dollar. If a Subaru was available at the point in time I probably will have went that way. Honestly if I could get my money back on this vehicle I would sell it and buy a new Subaru.

Good all around vehicle.

Vehicle Great! Dealer Good. Manufacturing company not so much. Makes service policy changes after sale. Lies in follow up communications. I regret purchasing due to manufactures after purchase actions.

Enjoying the Look and ride.

Working well for me as a retired guy that likes to keep busy and short travel for outdoor activities. Pull light trailers well at 19mpg Normally 26-28mpg. Easy to get after market floor liners,seat covers, tonneau cover, and hitches.
