If any of the hive have driven a Santa Cruz I'd be curious as to what you thought. 

This may be the wife's next vehicle

We looked at one and were kinda astonished how small it was inside and wasn't impressed with well.... anything sadly. We are very interested in a Maverick and thought it might be a good enough alternative.

 

We didn't test drive it though, I didn't want to go thru the hassle with a salesman since I was very underwhelmed and definitely not buying that day

 

My opinion may change once I do test drive it though and YMMV

I drove one a while ago. If it was the same price as the maverick I might have talked myself into one. But my conclusion was that there's no way it was worth 30% more for a comparable trim level. That was 2021 pricing, no idea what it is now but I can't imagine the gap has closed too much. From what I remember it drove fine but wasn't really outstanding in any way other than having a real gear selector versus the maverick's stupid knob selector.
