IT'S a BOX!

Remember, It's Still A Jeep! — Great SUV! BUT IT'S STILL A JEEP! This luxury SUV offers a smooth ride until you hit a bump and then.. it transforms itself into a JEEP! All Jeep characteristics are retained in this vehicle! I was in Montreal and drove back to Andover, MA in an ice storm and was one of the few vehicles that didn't slide! Ice was 2" thick on the vehicle and I drove at posted speeds, no slip at all!

If You Haven't Driven A Commander, You're Missing Out. — Great acceleration for a Big SUV with a V6. The 3.7L in Jeeps has really impressed me. I have the 3rd Row with 3 Sunroofs and rear Air Control and I have to say I love the space and design. The theatre seating is great when traveling with friends. Its great for water-fording, off-roading and occasionally jumping a curb without ever harming the undercarriage.

Primary Use: Family transportation

Quality Car With Good Size And Power To Handle All Types Of Roads And In All Conditions — I like the size and comfort in the SUV, with it's 7 passenger seating for room and comfort for everyone. It has good power and drive to handle all conditions. It handles well on the road, although a little stiff, you can feel the bumps. It is not great on gas, but is fair for its size.

Primary Use: Commuting to work

Looks Cool Bad Angles To See. Lots Of Blind Spots — It looks like a really cool car, but the engineers did not think about the driver or passenger. It is uncomfy and hard to drive. No t a fun car to drive. rather drive a corvette or another sports car. Lots of blind spots.

Primary Use: Utility (towing boats, transporting cargo, etc.)

Chards Commander — Performance. Very good. Pretty smart of the mark with some pedal to the metal. Braos Range Turbo helps. Well Build, although a little rattle in the left side dash is unfound yet. Appearance, Bold and smart! Although I think it needs a slight lift. Going up 50mm soon! Mileage. 9.2 - 13.5 ltrs per 100kms Serviceing a little expensive at Jeep Great comfortable car to drive. Always enjoy getting in and going!

Bad gas mileage and smaller than my 2005 Durango...kinda miss the Durango now.

What Is Gas Mileage Again? — Nice car, feels luxurious, poor gas mileage...but I knew that when I got it and I never once pretended that I am a friend of the earth! I love all the bells and whistles and I keep finding more of them everyday. I love that Daimler Chrysler stuck in so many Mercedes features too...that helped sell it to me.
