I have the 4.7 v8 limited black with every option. I've had it for 4 months and I still get a lot of looks. I do recommend the hemi if you like driving faster than most. I purchased the chrome side steps and it really fills the look of the vehicle out. This is a smooth riding vehicle and is fun to drive. you will get a lot of compliments owning this vehicle. The great thing about the Jeep Commander is there is no other body style like it.

Commander is the way to go

I am an enthusiast of the grand Cherokee and have owned several jeeps. The commander is the best model yet. With my ever growing family the third row seating makes it a lot easier when transporting friends in addition to my two kids without having to go the minivan route. With the ever unpredictable gas prices I was hesitant about getting the HEMI but did anyway and given the size and power of the engine it doesn't do that bad on gas mileage. Everyone says how terrible the gas mileage is on it which I found that if you use the power it will eat your gas but if you drive conservatively you will get maximum mileage. I get about 15mpg on ave. which was the same i got when i had the good 4.0L

So far so good! I have owned my Commander for about 3 months. The only issue I have had was a wind noise from the windshield. I took it to the dealer and it was quickly resolved. I have just performed my first oil change and the truck runs beautifully. I average between 14.5 to 16.7 miles per gallon. Anyone who buys one of these shouldn't get to complain about something like that (mpg's).

Recently came back from a long trip where we averaged between 20 and 22 mpg. City driving gas mileage comes in around 17 mpg. Certainly gets a lot of admiring glances. The teenage boys love it. It's great that this has that third row for unexpected riders, but there is no storage space when there are 7 people. Over all we love it!

Looks great but watch out for glitches

The style and performance on the Commander is great. However, our Commander is headed back to the dealership for the 4th time because of glitches with the engine's computer. In the 8 months we have owned this car the check engine light has been on more than off. Last time the dealership replaced the entire engine computer which kept the check engine light off for about 30 days. Now it is back on yet AGAIN and the engine is running rough. I have been pleased with everything else but this one problem necessitating numerous trips back to the dealership makes me wish I had spent just a bit more money and purchased the Lexus SUV instead.
