We've got loads of them stateside...I've driven a few dozen over the past few years. They're heaps of fun if you're doing anything but the daily commute. The suspension can be a little jarring for everyday driving - but that's a personal preference. They're usually incredibly capable for what they're built to do.
There are thousands over here who drive them daily and my best mate has daily driven his '06 since high school and has put nearly 230K miles on it.
