One thing I like is being able to change the oil and filter myself without even having to lift it! But it hates the open road and it reminds you that that isn't it's strong suit. The contrast is good though.

Not to go too far off topic but as a 2nd vehicle the Wrangler is a nice choice.
I do like mine for the open road as well and that kind of driving requires Cruise Control, and I lower the front tire pressure a bit so that it tracks straight with less steering effort.
I've done a number of long distance Wrangler trips (Socal to St Pete's, FL & towing a trailer back ~3,200mi)(Socal to Il and towing stuff back)(Socal to Ut and towing stuff back) with it and found it comfortable to drive 12 hrs/day no problem.
It tows trailers loaded up to its own weight (I know its over the specified rating) at 70mph without issue. A real workhorse.
