err sometimes yeah. i live in the uk countryside though, and we have VERY narrow lanes, i drive a fiat punto, its only small, and so when jeeps, land rovers etc come the other way, they always expect ME to drive into the hedgerows and scratch MY car to hell even though theirs look like they've been rolling in ****. pisses me right off.
theyre usually driven by fat hairy farmer looking types....

I am not fat, hairy or a farmer, but I have a Jeep CJ6 from 1975. So easy to drive and handles well in all conditions. It's 3.8 litre straight-six likes to motor - but at high speed the car rather tends to choose it's own route if it can, rather than follow the road ... something to do with the 30cm wide tyres. No, it's not intimidating - great too in this summer weather especially. Strangely enough I sold it a couple of times, but had to take it back as the buyers couldn't handle it - not man enough clearly. So, perhaps it is intimidating to some?

no, but do you mean Jeeps in particular, or any 4x4
My Cherokee actually takes up less road space than a Ford Mondeo. Its shorter and narrower, just a bit taller!

Yes, they have dominated the SUV market for the past few decades. It seems like at least one person on every street in America has one. But I like them. They are styled cool and have proved that they will last a very long time.

my old mans got one, quick for its weight and im sure if your driving a ford ka down a country lane then you see one coming towards you more than likely you'll fill your pants. they handle well though and go through so much fuel per gallon that normally owners drive them with a large helping of foot off the go peddle

Not at all. You just need to respect them like any other vehicle.
