Learned to love it!
 I was shamed by my sister into replacing my gas guzzling Jeep Grand Cherokee for my new daily commute when I moved in with her. I missed the noise and drama of my old car, but began to appreciate the precise handling and economy, after choosing it for it's safety rating. I tend to have a lead foot, so it helped me enjoy driving with finesse and agility.  Keep away from the z rated tires (too noisy) and learn how not to bottom out, and it will serve you well. I really learned to love it.
