I was car shopping yesterday with a friend who is looking to get a cheap SUV (around $20k), and we went into a Jeep dealer to look at the Jeep Patriot. A friend of hers knows the owner, so we ended up talking with him, and upon hearing that I have an X5, he said "I'm not one to like imports very much, but last winter I had the opportunity to drive friend's X5 in bad weather, and I don't know what they did with that thing, but they have taken the SUV to an entirely new level".
He proceeded to tell me that he though it was the best SUV on the market, and that he couldn't believe how fun to drive it was and how good it also is in bad weather. For the rest of the conversation, as we were discussing whether my friend should get a Patriot, Liberty, or Compass, whenever she asked about its driving ability in bad weather, the guy would say "well, it's not going to be as good as your friend's X5, but it will be pretty good".
I was just rather surprised to hear this from the owner of a Jeep dealership, so I thought I would share.
