Super fun, but a little tight in the drivers seat. Going on a trip takes a little planning and some good tetris skills.
ive always just been more curious about handling... had a few tell me when driving them things it was like playing a game of russian roulette.. most common complaints i hear is about sloppy (large amounts of play) steering, and being very top heavy making them feel like it would roll easily in a curve.

The short, narrow wheel base gives them that feel. But they really aren't tippy if not lifted. I've always thought the steering was good. If it's sloppy, they have problems.

Agreed, every one I've ever touched has had very responsive steering, even with worn out steering boxes on them. Some play, but beyond that responsive.
I do have a lifted one, and I don't drive it like it's a sports car. A jeep is a purpose built vehicle for offroad use, which has been adapted to the minimum required for use on the road legally. At least that's how I feel. It is not a good long trip vehicle, mountain road vehicle or high speed vehicle. But I don't think it was ever intended to be. Not to say it can't do any of those things, just don't think it was the first consideration when it was designed.
