2009 Jeep Commander User Reviews

Purchased As New

My wife and I purchased a new 2008 Comander Sport 4x2 w/V6. Our fuel mileage has exceeded the EPA ratings. We average 20 mpg in the city, and we about to go on our first vacation trip. We are anxious to see what our mpg will be over the highway. We have the fully loaded model and are very pleased with the ergonomics and comfort of the interior and all the options. The ride is a little stiff in the city, but on the open road it shows it's true ride. Very smooth and the curb to curb handling is very good. We like the vision out of the windshield, and my wife thought going in that the drivability would be much like a Expedition or Tahoe, but it truly handles more like a mid- small SUV. Access to the V6 under the hood is exspansive and thr rear liftgate gives easy access to the rear cargo area with gate open or with the liftgate glass. The rear end collision avoidance system is a great feature. Sirius Satellite Radio is wonderful and the sound system provides all the sound we need. The best thing we like though is the interior soundproofing. Road noise is very low and beats any Ford or GMC we previously owned. Jeep's reliability is was sold us, and the Lifetime Powertrain Warranty is a big seller item. Overall, we enjoy the vehicle the best of any previous SUV that we have owned. Resale value is not a concern as we intend to own this one for quite a while. I give this one 4.5 stars out of 5. We feel that the value for the money is very good, and we reccomend the Commander as a good buy.
