Need a fob

I was never given a second fob. Therefore, if I were to have my purse stolen, I would have no way to start my car. I’ve repeatedly asked for this from my dealership and from corporate please send me one.

Santa Cruz

I have a 2025 Santa Cruz that I bought in November 2024. This is a step down from the Toyota Tacoma that got stolen from me the very same month. I’m not going to compare this to the Tacoma. I am going to tell you that I really do like this little truck how it handles smooth and the options that are in it are great. I do like the ability to be able to haul items. It pass the test by putting a recliner in the truck bed it did help me move to a new apartment. I do have a nick name for her… Half -A..

Ray’s Truck

Vehicle has all the features (and more!) that I was looking for in a compact truck. Great ride. Good mileage. Tons of bells and whistles to satisfy the kid in me.

It has quirks but overall it’s pretty awesome

Love it Mostly The engine is peppy, the transmission shifts smoothly and when it should. The seats are supportive and comfortable for long drives Would prefer more color options especially blue variants Ride is smooth and quiet but not dulled or disconnected

My Little Truck

So far, I love my Santa Cruz. I drive it mostly around town. Love the convenience and handling of the vehicle. It is easy to get around town and small places.

Review

Very cramped leg space in back seating. The vehicle is comfortable for passenger & driver and is attractive. We overpaid our payoff balance and have not yet gotten a response about a refund! We have received so many letters, emails, texts WARNING us to get extended coverage that we are worried about the reliability of the vehicle. Also, the sales/finance employee told us the Hyundai warranty is misleading and doesn’t cover what it says it will. Very upsetting

My second Santa Cruz

I traded my 2022 SE for a new 2025 SE. The 25 is much improved with the new dashboard and safety features. It is much closer to the features of the SEL. The electronic safety features are much better, although once in a while some are a little too sensitive. I hope that some of the issues on the 22 have been resolved...failed injectors, failed temperature management system, and peeling on door finish. So far, the new vehicle is great.
