Love the fact that I can haul stuff, such as my mountain bike (yeti asx for anyone who is bike savvy) without taking wheels off, yet it isn't a gargantuan pickup and has a respectable turning radius.

My dad, who drives an acura tl, was just telling me the other day how he wishes he had a car with slider controls for the heat and a wheel for the fan speed like back in the good ol' days

That is something I love about Cherokees and something I take for granted often.

I realized just how much I appreciate the turning radius when I had to take my friend's F150 to Napa. The one in my town has a parking lot that must have been designed with jeeps in mind, not big *** trucks. Can you say 27 point turn?

i love the turning radius on them, its funny to see peoples reactions when they see this big huge jeep on 33s make a super tight u turn that a car cant even take, also like the power, they are super underestimated, i was next to some guy in a range rover today and destroyed him off the line, he looked so amazed haha

I love how I can handle mud better than my friends wrongler
I love the sporty handling
I love the great stock ground clearance
I love the ability to haul all my friends and their **** wherever I have to go.
Etc
Also the title of this thread made me think of Blink-182...

I love teaching people to drive stick in my cherokee. When you screw up it bucks forward and rams your face into the steering wheel. Then I can say "Now remember not to do that again"

they learn much faster that when you give it too much gas you dont just let off the gas, you put your foot on the clutch AND let off the gas or your nose will be broken. lol
