My wife reluctantly changed her RAV4 for a Cherokee Trailhawk (the Rav kept having panic attacks and stopping in the middle of intersections if there was even a hint of snow around, she never felt safe in it).
After getting to love her Trailhawk for 2 years she surprised me by trading it in for her own Rubicon (4xE) after a long road trip in my 2 door earlier this year.

The wife has a 2016 Mazda CX-9 that she bought new and loves (and I despise).

After picking up the new JLU back in October, she asks to take it every chance she gets.

The other night she casually mentions that she might want to trade the Mazda for a Wrangler.

I didn't know I could love her even more.

Wife likes the way it looks, but hates driving it. Rides too rough, it's too high and it scared her the one time she had to drive it to work.

No, its her daily driver. She had a Jeep YJ in high school and this will be the 10th (Her 93 YJ, My 91 YJ, 3 TJ's, 2 GC, 3 Cherokees) Jeep we've had together thoughout the years we dated/been married.

She absoloutly loves driving it.

no.
J**ps have been a part of my life since before we met, and she bought into the whole package. she quickly learned about all the cool places they make it possible to see, and is fully supportive of whatever i'm doing to them to make them better for that.

while she didn't expect to, she now finds herself making excuses to go do things in the newer J**p, and doesn't mind driving the old one. (the new one is still "too nice".)

I wouldn't say hate, but he wants nothing to do with it. He said he would buy me anything I wanted and he certainly did, but it came along with him saying "as long as I don't have to drive it". He drives his Cadillac luxury sports sedan and doesn't want anything to do with SUVs or Jeeps. My daughter drives my old Yukon and doesnt' want anything to do with my Jeep either. She's more scared of it than anything. But she's only 16 and a new driver. So...."Oh darn" ;) I get it all to myself.
You planned that perfectly!

I wish I could get my spouse and my kids to hate driving my jeep. :LOL:

I think women who love jeeps are hotter.

My wife had a JK of her own, but we turned it into Grand Cherokee we both loved for six and a half years (until the federally-mandated reflash screwed it up.) Now she’s driving a Lexus RX 450hl. (It’s Toyota Hilander…, yawn).

no significant other to worry about. My son loves riding in it, taking road trips, and driving on the beach with it.

My Wife has her own 2 Door sport but wont let me play with upgrades. I call it the Barbie Jeep even though she did let me put my old low mileage JK stock Rubicon tires and rims on it when she needed rubber.

She was going to beat my ass if I had gotten a Gladiator. We bought the Strangler. And never looked back
