Vehicle: 2006 Jeep Commander |

Summary:
Good solid car with good ride and appearance.
Comfortable around town and handy for carting around items in the rear. Wife's car she likes the safety factor and appearance, too.
However, see problem in weaknesses below with loud screaming wind noise outside vehicle.
Strengths:
Solid, handles well, looks good, inside comfort great.
Weaknesses:
When we are on the highway and going over 60 a sudden high pitched screaming sound comes from outside the car. Will drive you nuts to distraction..making you nervous. Antenna? Rack? Help!!

Vehicle: 2007 Jeep Commander |

Summary:
Looks nice, drives nice, but that is all I can say that is nice about it.
Strengths:
Sure footed.
Weaknesses:
I have never had so many problems with a new vehicle and I have bought quite a few. First the seat belt was to short, then the radio went out ( now for the 2nd time), the sunroof leaked (not drained correctly), transmission has locked up twice and they can't find a problem, had to to replace seals one the transmission plug. Would not recommend vehicle or dealership to anyone. Jeep needs to get their act together.

Vehicle: 2006 Jeep Commander |

Summary:
No matter how gentle I drive 14-15.5 mpg is all I can get on hi-way. Epa was rated 18 mpg. Feel like I was screwed by the dealer and Jeep.
Strengths:
none
Weaknesses:
gas milage, workmanship, wheels(CORRODING), sounds like exhausht system rattling on take off.
All around crappy vehicle for the money. no trade in value. too boxy, bought a bug shield to try and eliminate some of the bugs hitting windshield, $130.00 wasted.

Commander Sport with 28U package |
|
Date: Apr 10, 2007

Vehicle: 2007 Jeep Commander |
|
Summary:
We've got just over 2500 miles on our 07 Commander. Overall, we love the Jeep, it's been a huge surprise for us because we keep finding little touches that show some real engineering thought.
Our Sport 28U is light graystone with gray sport wheels. The exterior color hides the dirt nicely, and the darker gray wheels give the Jeep a sporty look. The 28U package comes with leather interior, heated seats, sunroof, adjustable pedals, and a whole host of additional interior features.
I can happily recommend this vehicle as it's designed. Now lets see how it does over the next several years.
Strengths:
The ride and NVH were a huge surprise for us, it's really great. I can't believe how low the wind noise is on the highway considering we're driving a vehicle with the aero qualities of a barn door.
The Sport comes with the 3.7l V6. I like this engine; it sounds great, it has decent pull down low, though it's a bit slow to accelerate at highway speeds (nothing embarrassing though). The engine bay has plenty of room allowing DIY work. I love the built in oil filter drip catcher.
The interior is great, though the fake diamond plate trim isn't the most attractive I've ever seen. The features are really great; adjustable pedals, heated seats, wheel mounted radio controls, rear parking assist, etc. The kids love the 3rd row and it's associated heat controls and cup holders. The reclining 2nd row rear seat is a HUGE bonus along with the rear seat sunroof panels.
One of my wife's favorite features is the remote start. It's not great for the average fuel mileage, but it's great for keeping her happy. When mama's happy, everybody's happy.
Weaknesses:
On the downside, fuel mileage is horrendous, though we knew this going into it. The 3.7 is rated at 15/19... I don't think there are hills long enough to attain 19mpg anywhere where I live. We average 14/15 mpg. The rear suspension is on the too soft side; with 7 people aboard you can completely compress the suspension over bumps; thankfully carrying 7 people is a rare occurrence.
The cargo space behind the 2nd row is acceptable, but nonexistant with the 3rd row in place. A lip at the edge of the cargo area to hold loose items would be nice; we've dropped several items that have moved when we open the hatch.

Summary:
I love the look and ride of my Commander. This mid-size SUV is great, I am able to take my family with me when they are in town and it fits in my garage. The gas milage is not the best but I knew that when buying it, but safty with my 8 month old was an issue and I feel safe that inpacts and snow will not stop us.
Strengths:
Will go through any snow, and it goes into 4X4 itself when needed. Love the rear heater.
Weaknesses:
Gas milage isn't the best.

Vehicle: 2007 Jeep Commander |
|
Summary:
I recently purchased a 2007 Commander with a 3.0 common rail diesel engine. I am a soldier stationed in Germany so it is European specs. I love the ride. The computer says 13 liters per 100 km. The entertainment system is God's gift to parents.
Strengths:
Ride, comfort and great looks
Weaknesses:
No storage space with 3rd row seats in use and very little with them down.

Better Than I Thought |

Summary:
I bought this vehicle and traded in a 2003 Tahoe Z71. This Limited Version with a 5.7 Hemi is truly an awesome vehicle. It rides better than my old Tahoe and has more power and a classier appearance both inside and out. The chrome for the most part is fake though and the interior offers quite a bit less room than the Tahoe....even with the third row seats down. I don't think the mileage will be any better either even with the multi port. I get about 18 or a little less on the highway and only about 12 in town so far which is on par with the old Tahoe. All around the Commander is very pleasing to ride in, atleast the two front rows. With the third row up it is impossible to see out the back window but those seats for the most part will be down. The commander also offers more ground clearance and less overall height, width and length than the Tahoe. I am looking forward to seeing the durability of this ride over the first 3/36k. I think the look of this ride is very sharp and can be tricked out to look even better with a few additions like vent visors and running boards and such. Given the few drawbacks listed above if these aren't an issue for you this SUV should fill the ticket. A+ rating for the Jeep... my first Jeep.
Strengths:
Power, Style and Comfort are all heads above the competition.
Weaknesses:
Mileage not as good as it should be. Third row seating up, lack of visibility, Chrome is not all real. Less overall interior room for hauling than Tahoe.

Summary:
Bought a new Jeep Commander with a v-8 (not the Hemi). The special edition is awesome. The sunroof was free and the car is gorgeous. It's really really really heavy and drives like a champ. It is very very safe and has a ton of cool features. It also is beautiful looking. THE GAS MILEAGE IS INSANELY POOR!! I am getting 12 miles per gallon with every day driving. That is absurd!!
Strengths:
Looks great, so comfortable, drives great, free sunroof with the "special edition" model, lots of gadgets!
Weaknesses:
The worst gas mileage you could ever imagine!!! 12 MPG with routine driving!!
