  Nice ride for a change of style - 2006 Jeep Commander
  By tony g - December 26 - 10:40 am

  I got tired of all the look alike cars out there, with all the curves and bumps. Now this one stands out and is a better choice for a guy with a family than a minivan. The price is under a Grand Cherokee which is nice. I like the smooth ride and the tight turn radius, I dont like the gas mileage, but this car is bigger and heavier than my last one, the oh so feminine Jeep Liberty. I also like the fact that the third row is there if needed, and that there are lots of standard features like rear sensor and side curtain bags. Makes a lot of difference in terms of safety. I have had it now for a month, and we like it a lot.

  This is it if you have to have an SUV - 2006 Jeep Commander
  By Heil - December 21 - 12:06 pm

  My wife picked this one out. While I was reluctant at first, I must say it is a whole lot of fun to drive around in. While some say the interior may not be up to the BMW, X30, or Rover quality, you have to remember, *this is a JEEP*. It isnt meant to simply ford the pothole at the golf club. Its made to actually leave the pavement, and shes responded nicely to some rough roads. Storage is great unless you have all three rows of seats up (which we never do, but its good to know theyre there in case of emergencies). The 4WD system is incredible. Ive had 4WDs before, but how easily it handles slippery roads is really amazing.

  Commanding Review - 2006 Jeep Commander
  By Commander Mom - December 15 - 12:20 pm

  I could not be more excited about a car! This is more than any soccer mom could want. I love my new Jeep. We have three kids, and we all fit perfectly. The kids love the back seat. We have the Limited with the HEMI and there is a huge difference between that and a regular 4.7L. I loved it from the minute I drove it. Plenty of power for a mom on the go and always in a hurry. The DVD and wireless headphones are great, not to mention the SIRIUS radio ready, and great sound system. The leather is great, the roominess is great, I love the chrome on black. Its one sharp ride.

  Command The Road in Style - 2006 Jeep Commander
  By Paiz - November 27 - 7:40 am

  After owning two Grand Cherokees, and a Cherokee Classic in the past, the new 2006 Jeep Commander is by far the most exciting to drive, and to look at. Even with sub par fuel economy, the Commander drives and feels like a dream. I strongly recommend getting the Hemi 5.7L V8, as it actually gets better gas mileage than the 4.7L V8 because of the MDS Engine Technology. Strongly recommended!

  Just purchased this vehicle a week ago. Best car for my money so far. Roomy enough for my family with 2 car seats for the kids.

  ITS A JEEP - 2006 Jeep Commander
  By STAAR - July 20 - 2:50 pm

  I bought the 4x4 Commander. It is strong, sturdy and doesnt whimper off road. Cargo space is fantastic and the seats fold down flat. Nice sound system and back up buddy on base models. I had the Lojack early warning put in since we are close to the border. I did not like that Lojack could not add their audible alarm system and it would have to be Jeeps.

  4 Years of Total Enjoyment - 2006 Jeep Commander
  By Nate20 - June 7 - 1:56 am

  Put it this way,the brakes are the originals at 52,000 miles! Never had an alignment either. Normal maintenance based on schedule B (longer intervals) in the owners manual. Average fuel economy is 16 mpg with a lift and 32 inch tires. I use this vehicle really hard during the summer with camping,towing and 4 wheeling. Drives and rides like new! I would highly recommend if your expectations are not unreasonable.

  From Lexus to Jeep - 2006 Jeep Commander
  By Cindy Collins - May 30 - 5:10 pm

  I love my Black 2006 Limited Jeep Commander. I traded my 2000 Lexus SUV for it. I had planned on buying another Lexus but for the price and quality I felt like giving the Commander a chance. I had to have a 4 wheel drive and a vehicle that was wheelchair friendly. Sooo, it works out perfectly. It is tough but yet stylish and safari looking. I have owned it for almost a year now and love it thus far! My son traded his Z-3 for a Wrangler. So, you can call us a Jeep Family now. Thanks to all who helped make this vehicle possible. ;)

  HEMI Commander - 2006 Jeep Commander
  By thekid - May 22 - 5:56 am

  I was looking at Range Rovers before stumbling upon the Commander. For the money this SUV is way better, unless you "need" to be seen in a Range Rover. Mine is fully loaded, I mean everything pretty much. It has really been great as far as comfort and fun to drive. Endless power with the HEMI. Arent we all a little sick of the predictable styling from other manufacturers?

  Buy A Commander! - 2006 Jeep Commander
  By Mr Moose from Maine - May 10 - 4:50 am

  If a Jeep Cherokee and a Chevy Suburban had kids, they would be Commanders. This is one great SUV. Ive owned a lot of SUVs since 1988 and the Commander is the best. I live in Maine where snow is measured in feet, not inches.The Quadra Drive II is amazing; I BURIED my Commanders right side in a snow bank on purpose and the Quadra Drives limited slip differentials locked in and out I came. I tried it with my 96 Cherokee with Select Trac and a Trac Lok rear. I needed the Commander to pull me out. Get the 4.7 V8 and the Off Road Group II if you do any off roading or live in an area with a lot of snow. Buy a Commander! Youll love it!
