[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank God my DH got that out of his system in his 20's. Worst car ever. Totally unreliable, uncomfortable, gets mysterious rattles in the first few 1000 miles. And very unsafe - I'd never let my teenager drive one.[/quote]

Okay - old Wrangers were.  I've had mine for five years and never had a problems.  Someone rear ended us on the highway once after a sudden stop.  Their car had to be towed - ours didn't have a scratch on it.  As long as you buy a relatively newer Jeep - it's a normal car from a safety perspective.  The rollover concerns are with older models.  AND - big and - they do not go that fast - hard to accelerate in so you'll have less speeding.  Harder to weave in so your driver will not feel so zippy.  I find that it makes me drive calmer then I do in a smaller car.

Read this:
So, whether you were told as a child that Jeeps roll-over easily, or you are looking into getting a Jeep for yourself or child, know that Jeep’s are actually fairly safe. CJ and YJ Wranglers are the least safe, as they came with no safety features other than their standard roll-cage. But, to be fair, most SUV’s before the 2000’s were also lacking in safety features.

Go drive a current one![/quote]
