Best Car I Ever Owned

Is the best vehicle I have ever owned. I previously owned a Jeep Liberty which I loved but the style of the Commander blew me away. I looked at the H3 but the Commander Limited was a much better value.

I'll never buy a Jeep again

I bought this vehicle for my wife and son. It was the right size (not too big not too small). The problem is quality, I've had the computer replaced, spark plug replaced and the body molding around the wheel well is loose. The vehicle just cut off for no reason (replaced computer), then a ignition failure light came on and we took to the dealership (replaced the spark plug) but said we needed to get the fuel injectors cleaned (16,000 miles) to fix the problem, $300. I had a Mercedes SUV with 58,000 miles and never had to have the injectors cleaned. When I complained about the moldings being so loose the service department said "we have new Commanders that are worse" that doesn't make it right.

BJ'S REVIEW

BJ, 10/29/2006

Love the vehicle. Great bang for the buck. Only problem since purchase is dashboard's exterior temperature gauge faulty and has been since purchase June '06. Dealer's excuse is faulty software problem and waiting for Chrysler to correct. Lame excuse if you ask me since this vehicle has been in production for over a year now. Also dissatisfied with exterior room when 3rd row seats are folded down. They do not recess into the body but rather take up valuable vertical space. Would rather have not had the 3rd row but unfortunately it is mandatory; they go with the vehicle rather than being an option as they should have been for us who never will use them.

LUUUUV my Commander!

"Just right" size. Not a teeny, dinky suv and not a 'boat' that minimizes the driving experience. It is nimble and fun while also offering great storage and passenger carrying options. Visibility is really good, I can clearly see the front end and all around the vehicle. The seat adjustments along with the pedal adjustments create a more than comfortable arrangement for my 5 foot nothing size. I admit it is a little high for loading my 2 year old into her carseat in the back, but I love the height when I'm on the open road and feel the trade-off is worth it. I can get 18 mpg on highway, but I have to work at it a little. Wish the MPG was better.

My third Jeep

Has a feeling of durability. Smooth comfortable driving. Quieter than expected. Driver door arm rest usage caused the right rear window to go down without intention. Second seat center seat is difficult to flatten and not obvious on how to do it. This car is leased and I may buy it at the end of the lease. Very satisfied.
