I am absolutely addicted to your car-reviews, Sarah - you simply do them better and more entertaining then other youtubers do. Much more in-depth, great fiilmed/edited and with wonderfull sense of humor (made me laught of loud twice, there - thanks for that!) Pure love!

OK go do your thing

Sarah, your camera work and editing are top shelf!

Those tires work really well in snow, had mine since February and a couple snow storms later, it just acts like the snow doesn't exist, and I have a big hill to go up on my route to work. No issues whatsoever in the snow.

Always impressed with your research and knowledge of all the vehicles you do reviews on.

I always enjoy your videos & you’re so funny. I’m always smiling at the end of the videos you make & I get real reviews of vehicles from you. Keep up the great work

Ok, I have been “no kidding” looking at KZreadrs for over two weeks now comparing what I might want to get and I have watched a lot of the Santa Cruz ones! And YOU, are the BEST !!! This review is what I have been looking for all along!!!! You Rock! Thank you !

Reminds me of the old Subaru Brat... Also loved the Old Cameo song reference.

No one does reviews better and with more fun Sarah. Thank you!

The best hands on test drive and overall review of the Hyundai Santa Cruz I've seen to date. Thank you for making my decision easier.

Thanks for doing this one. I ended up getting one due to its utility, price and warranty. Glad you liked it as well.

Sarah, one of the many aspects of why I love your overviews is that you almost alway show the bottom of the vehicle on a lift. Anyone can go to a dealer and see the exterior, interior and engine bay of a car. No one is telling a dealer "get this one on a lift, I want to see how sturdy the exhaust and drive train are". You do that for us in your videos. You are thorough and give the most intelligent vehicle reviews on KZread. Your snarky sense of humor is also something that keeps me coming back. Love u Sarah -n- Tuned!

I have this on factory order. This is the most straight forward and unbiased review I've seen.. I love the science references as a fellow nerd!

I just ordered one in Sage grey a few weeks ago. I think it's a cool looking vehicle and I need something a little more utilitarian. Great review. Thanks.

Always enjoy your car reviews Sarah.

I know they’re videos two years old but I like when you put it up in the air and show the underneath and explain everything and know the details of what type of transmission measure is it anti-sway bars, I think that’s a great addition to the videos . I’m gonna go test drive one tomorrow after watching your video. I want to turbo.

Another fwd truck?? I’ve never seen anything like this. Unprecedented. Your reviews are always a highlight of my day! Fantastic! 👏🏻🙂

Great review Sarah. Fun and high quality video Sarah. As usual. On this category, I would would choose between this or the Ridgeline

Now thats a review, very detailed, nice presentation on the motor, features, driving quality.

That was the most chill brake test ever, wow

Finally! I've been waiting for Sarah to give it the Beans!

My wife got her's on July 5th. We love it. We traded in our Trail Blazer & haven't looked back. We're not going off roading anytime soon, but it handles the twisty-turnie roads of southern Indiana just fine. The turbo/8 speed is an excellent combo. We avg 25-30 mpg, great for city & county...

Loved the review, and the boots!

A high five for this review! Turtles and all it was a fun ride. I can't wait for the next one.

Best review yet Sarah!

Your vehicle reviews are top notch.

GREAT VIDEO SARAH!!!! I STILL LOVE IT!!!! ALL IT NEEDS IS A LIFT KIT AND SOME ALL-TERRAIN TIRES!!! AND YOU ARE GOOD TO GO!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!!

I like how you go over every inch of the truck

Sarah, I was wondering if you could do a video (on your secondary "Giving it the Beans" channel) on what the difference is between a "wet dual clutch" and a "dry dual clutch" transmission. Love how technical you get with these reviews and this piqued my interest when you mentioned it here with the Santa Cruz. Though I'm not really mechanically inclined, I think this would be interesting to watch and educational for everyone. Thanks in advance, Sarah! :)

It looks like a sophisticated coupling between the engine and transmission to replace the torque converter. Personally I am happy with a torque converter, or a proven and simple dry clutch on a manual car. Hyundai developed their powertrains with the help of German engineers they hired away from big name Euro brands.

Girl , I love you and your reviews!

Fantastic imagery I loved the turtle! You've come so far editing🥰🥰🥰

I would really like to drive a Santa Cruz. I really love the style of the vehicle. Those front lights at night look awesome! The crap part about the Santa Cruz, Ridgeline, Ranger, Colorado, Canyon, Tacoma, & Frontier is when equipped comfortably(not fully optioned), the price becomes unjustifiable in most cases. It's crazy how expensive these vehicles have become...

Tacoma makes the most sense since its the lowest depreciating vehicle ever made but less features and kinda boring interior. I guess thats what makes them so reliable and long lasting

Something you might Consider! Hyundai has the best Warranty on the market. My Dearer gave me extra but the manufacturer's is 100k and free Synthetic Oil changes for 30k I believe. My Dealer gave me 125 I and Synthetic Oil changes for life! Now Ford gives you first Oil change free and 3 years 35 k that is it unless you pay extra! I am retired! You add up that saving and piece of mind! PS if you're worried about the Bed! Don't be! I have a 10 x 5 utility trailer for my big stuff. I don't like tearing up my Truck bed . I use my utility for everything no problem! Put down the ramp haul any time any where. Had if for 20 years. I can put more than a ton on it . Don't worry about messing up my Truck.

So glad I found this channel

Sarah is the only person that can make "yeah" sound cool

We just bought the limited a few weeks ago. My wife wanted a sporty looking car with awd, I wanted something utilitarian that could tow. A huge Win/Win! So far we both enjoy it immensely. We didn't purchase it with the intentions of going off-roading though. The turbo definitely has some zip. Have never owned a car where we have received so many compliments on it's looks; this has given me buyer's assurance on the resell down the road. 😉 Enjoyed your nicely executed in-depth review

Just what I needed, and nice fun happy Sarah style car review... been watching too much depressing News lately!! Thank you Sarah :-)

A cute 'ute! Thanks for covering it Sarah!

I just picked up my new Santa Cruz a week ago. It took a bit over 3 months from placing my "order" to pick up from the dealer. Hyundai has a winner and NAILED IT with this vehicle.

Wow - the price as tested is almost double the base price! Insane for such a niche vehicle.

Great review, love the detail

Hey Sarah, I just picked up a Santa Cruz! Thanks for the review. Glad to see you restoring the 94 Ranger. I will be restoring a 63 corvette convertible, 327 ci 340 HP 4 speed car! It was my dads since 1971. We need to keep those family vehicles! Take care, Chris

I'd like to give a "Sunny day review score" which is enjoyment reviewing a vehicle feeling. 9.4./10 You seemed very confident and happy-go-lucky and hopeful of the lil truck/off road saloon. And a "Legs 11 score" of looking fabulous while doing a review of 10/10. Love you're work. 💕👏👌

Made my weekend better 🥰 Thank you Sarah

Nice review, it looks good on you Sarah.

Great review as usual.

I like it! The dash looks great too! No massive screen poking up above the dashboard!!❤

awesome review thank you Sarah 😊

Liked you video and feel you have best overview. In video when your talking about the front shocks etc., it looked like there was a nail in the tire. Had a nail myself & positive that was. Thanks again for your great review.

Oh yeah… I could definitely see myself owning this “Ute”. In this class, it is without a doubt the most stylish I’ve seen. Even though it failed “Mt. Sarah”, it did conquer “Mt. Penguin” and I agree the correct tires would make the difference. Hyundai/Kia has been killing it lately. Here’s to Santa Cruz turtles! Thanks. 👍👍👍

This is in the same price as the honda ridgeline and ford ranger , Gmc canyon , toyota tacomma, not the maverick . The maverick is 10-15k cheaper. If you want a truck to do truck things , Don't get the honda ridgeline or this. Honda ridgeline and hyundai santa cruz are both unibody , while the rest are body on frame. The NEW ford ranger comes out next year , its been out in europe and uk since last year so you could youtube how it looks. The Ridgeline is also due for a re-design since its been on the market since 2016 . The tacoma is the king of the class with its legendary reliability and low depreciation . The tacoma is one of the least depreciating vehicles ever built. 2017-2018's still go for 35k right now.

have been watching Videos on this car for two days .. and this is the first video .. I found with much of any technical information .. Very Professional Sarah.. but then again you are a gear head .. How could we expect any less from you?

Nice UTE, Sarah! Thanks for you insightful review, and your excellent content! This vehicle should sell well in North America!

Stay Awesome Sarah .

The 2014/2015 Santa Cruz concept was really interesting to me years back, there were mentions of a lot of tie-downs anchor points and an extending bed. Nice to see it here!

Haha, “Gravel Pit”! Nice little throwback reference there with the lyrics!

Great review. I was looking forward to this one for sure. I love how versatile it is. Small enough to go through tight traffic yet nicely done inside. The little bed is perfect for those that need to haul smaller items once in a while. Thanks for the great review. 👍

Loved the Cameo - Back & Forth reference Sarah. ❤️

The Santa Cruz really is a nice ride and LOVE the color on the one in this video. I think this Ute will be a great option for a lot of people who want an open bed but don't want/need the capacity and expense of a real truck with a frame under it.

One of your most enjoyable reviews . . . surprised by the weight and HP. Saw one yesterday, couldn't believe how small the bed was, just suited for groceries. Cheers.

Well the Sport Trac has a 5' bed. 😎

I own a tuscon hybrid, which is basicaly the same as this and its a great vehicle. this one as well a family member bought the first one at that dealer when it was new and they are obsessed with it. in person it looks great.

We just bought an SEL Premium in Phantom Black. The 2.5T HTRAC is super fun to drive. Great video, we are putting BFG Trail Terrain TA's 245/60/18 on ours.

Thanks loved the review.

Cars explained by you, perfect combination greetings from mountains of colorado

I just picked up my Santa Cruz and your review was one of the main reasons I picked it over the Maverick. The only problem is ever time I look at it from the rear all I can see is a sea turtle. Thank you. Art

Thank You for this Ute review, we love to see ya' drive stuff, AND your outfit is super cute. (bootsie Collins)

Happy Satuhday Sarah!!! The boots are rad! Probably bump you to 6'4" or so. Stay excellent!!!😎

Really love that little Ute, would love a plug in hybrid if it. Oh and digging the Storm Trooper boots. 😄

was thinking the same thing, with gas prices the way they are, i'm not sold on 100% electric, but plug in hybrid seems like a great fit for me, especially since i can find plenty of places to charge it free... and maybe i'd invest in about 20 miles of extension cords so i can charge it free at home. 😁

Nice review, love your channel, 10/10 outfit rating 😍😂

The El Camino lives on in spirit!!

Yes, we like the metric system! Thanks for showing. 🤓

Can someone please bring back the ElCamino? I mean come on it's so practical.

Awesome video as always Sarah :) Just wondering are the gauge shots from the big hill real time? As i noticed the centre lock green icon wasn’t on? Although as you say that car would have still struggled with those tyres I’m just interested in the nerdy mechanicals and if maybe the drive modes turned off the centre diff lock without you knowing maybe? :) Love all the vids and can’t wait for more!

I have been waiting on this review from you. The Maverick is definitely more capable off road than the SC proved to be, but I agree with all of the positive things you said about it. Thank you.

Not to focus on the wrong part of this review, but I love your boots!

Thank you Sarah!

In this catagory, Honda Ridgeline would be my choice.

I like how you regularly point out if the transmission and engine bay will allow power upgrades on the engine.

Awesome Wu-Tang reference at the Gravel Pit

It's gonna be really interesting to see if Hyundai will offer an off-road package like Ford's FX4 setup. I think it'd be even cooler if they established an off-road team in a similar way that they have for the N Cars division. Especially with the Kia brand; they've really been marketing the off-road adventure lifestyle with the Telluride and Sorento.

Your channel is so subbed!! You rock! You remind me of myself when I was your age. LOL I was a girl who did not mind wrenching on a car or truck.

I bought one !!!!!! It’s amazing !

Bam! From the start actually described appropriately without insulting what's the thing. Bringing that something extra special unlike some other ABC channels that make your reviews truly more insightful and useful. While I would never tow heavy cause trans and weight. You had me at 100K warrantee❤ High5✋#smokeshow!!!!

The El Camino/Ranchero coming back in style!

Enjoyable review.

I got my sel premium a week ago and it's really fun to drive!

Great review as usual. I think you should have a ‘hair o meter’ for braking. So the more your hair hangs forward the better the braking. Your off beat comments are so entertaining 🤗

I have seen a few reviews. I think you are first to point out the step in the bumper. One item I wish my taco had.

Wow those shoes! 🔥🔥🔥

I took off the factory 18" Kumho's and put the Falken Wildpeak Trail tires on...What a difference offroad! Blizzaks go on for the winter 😁😎

Nice boots. You have to be one of the most likable people I have ever not met/met . I can’t wait for the day you test a lucid air. Holy shit that’s gonna be fun when you do the launch!

Thank you Miss Sarah for the video. I really needed a ray of Sarah sunshine after making the mistake of seeing the new Batman movie last night. Dark, painfully slow and total waste of IMAX. Keep up the great work!

Great video

Best midsize picup today!

I would never watch a video with a Hyundai in it, except, this is Sarah.

I researched mpg changes with bed covers a few years ago. Consensus was only the last 6" mattered for mpg improvement. This is why a lot of pickups have a flat spot on top the tailgate...
