What's The Best Thing About Owning a Jeep?

That's an easy question - YOUR JEEP is the best part of being a Jeep owner.  My Jeep looks great, goes anywhere and is the perfect vehicle for me.

So what's the worst part about being a Jeep owner?  Coincidentally, the Jeep itself is also the worst part of Jeep ownership!  Considering how much Jeep's cost, I personally expected a lot more in terms of build quality, component quality and innovation.

What off-road consumers really need is a competing brand to challenge Jeep's exclusive market position.  Perhaps it's time for a stand-alone Canadian auto-maker to emerge and bring to market a True North Jeep that will be just as fun to own but built with Canadian quality and innovation!  Too bad that will never happen!  The Jeep could be a truly extraordinary vehicle if it was designed and made with so much as a mediocre level of effort and commitment to quality.

Ultimately, I hope I have more Jeep goodness to write about than badness, but after 5 months of ownership, I'm on my second warranty claim, first recall and I've been required to make several modifications to the most basic vehicular components - most recently, I replaced the headlights because the stock Jeep headlights don't really provide any light.  At least those stock lights are cheap, right Chrysler??
