Used 2009 Jeep Commander SUV Consumer Reviews
Nice Presentation, short on performance
I rented a Jeep Commander V-8 for a long weekend of 800+ miles of driving my daughter home from college. If you like the classic Jeep look on outside it's appealing, but performance overall leaves much to be desired. 20 MPG highway is acceptable, but 15 city isn't, even for a V8 SUV. Interior has nice storage compartments, but seating is subpar, unsupportive, and DEADLY on long drives. Sight lines and visibility are however an asset.
My Commander
Since driving the commander I'm very please with the ride very smooth. The accelerating could be better and the mpg needs to better. currently i'm getting 18-19 mpg an thats taking it easy.

Everything I expected
I think people really need to have realistic expectations. You don't buy a Commander to go off roading in. You buy a wrangler for that. If you want a comfortable, powerful family car, then this is what you buy. I love me Jeep and I enjoy driving in it.
gas milage
Gas tank is half the size it should be. At 21 gallons you'll be searching for a gas station every 180 miles or every 3 hours you will be out of gas. Towing a empty trailer approx 800 lbs. I got 12.5 mpg on the freeway. The hemi stinks huge amounts of gas. As much as a 454 suburban 4x4 does. The Sirius radio has almost no reception. On a 6 hour drive it came on 3 times for a total of 10 minutes max.
