I have a Cherokee. Much more practical than a Wrangler, IMO. Goes great in the snow, I can put 4 friends in it with along with myself, good storage, good security vs. a Wrangler. Mine has a manual 5-spd and cruises exceptionally well on the highway (manuals have 3.08:1 differential gears, vs. 3.55:1 for the autos [or 3.73:1 for the towing package autos]) and gets decent gas mileage, in the low 20's if driven conservatively. It's still a Jeep so I don't mind if I get a scratch or two on it. Very, very easy to work on (I put a new tranny in mine, easy DIY in the driveway) and stone-cold reliable. The I-6 4.0 engine used in both the Cherokees and Wranglers just go and go, seemingly forever. 140k miles and it runs smooth and doesn't drip a drop of oil. Perhaps some of the only benefits of the Wrangler are the better resale value (I read it is the 2nd slowest depreciating car, 1st being the 911) and cool factor.
