I am a very satisfied Subaru owner (multiple vehicles over decades). I also was a big Honda guy. This is the FIRST Hyundai vehicle that has caught my attention. Is the fit/finish, technical , reliability of this platform equal to those brands? Are the dealers good?
There are few products on my 5-star rating...
1. Garmin fenix 6x multi-sport watch
2. Hyundai Santa Cruz
3. Roku
I've done nearly everything that SC is made for. I love it. My son owns the 2022 Subaru Outback. It's a great car for a 23 yo. who is an adventurer like his dad.
Scuba dive trips, ski/snowboard, surfboard, kayak, SUP, rock climbing, backpacking, hauled crab traps, carry six 40-lb potassium chloride with ease, mountain bikes, hunting gear, fishing gear, towed campers, helped two moves, hauled heavy machinery with the tailgate down, party with the ice chest, slept on the truck bed, road trips, etc.
It's fast, has great handling, and looks great. After 6 months of ownership, it still is a head turner and ladies compliment it frequently as do some guys. Drivers with Tacoma, Tundra, Ranger, Canyon, Titan, etc. check it out and sometimes give a nod. LOL.
