Jeeps, like motorcycles, are not for everyone. If you really, really want one, no one needs to give you any reason - just go get it!! Compared to your typical Detroit (or overseas) product, they are noisy (I don't mind - I ride motorcyles, too), ride rough (not so much the TJ's, but I actually like the wife's YJ ride better), not very roomy (haul everything I ever need - if not, i've got a trailer), spartan interior (not so much the sissy TJ, but spartan is GOOD in my book - low maintenance), not real good on gas (who cares?), and can be very squirrely (careful about overcorrecting! I love the way the SWB handles).
For me, it was no decision at all - I've wanted one since I started driving - only took me 34 years to come to my senses. I have absolutely no regrets. I specifically wanted and bought an SE 4banger. I don't pass many people on the interstate, but I haven't had a speeding ticket in years, either. Off the pavement - NO problems ('cept I'd love to have lockers).
