i've had a crush on these cars since they came out. they fell off my radar but i am looking at jeeps and thought "OH YEAH! Vehicross!"

but i seem to recall hearing they are highly unreliable and suffer a plethora of mechanical issues--not to mention they are very limited and sparse so parts are hard to come by.

is that true? are they a bad idea to buy at this point, in this day and age, as a daily driver?
