2008 Jeep Commander - A reliable, spacious beast!

This vehicle is, without a doubt, my favorite of all the vehicles I've owned. More than anything, I love how well it handles in inclement weather (namely snow, as I'm in a very cold climate most of the year). I originally purchased the Commander in 2014 direct from owner, so it was already six years old, and I anticipated needing to perform some repairs relatively soon after buying. To my surprise, the vehicle was a champ that has needed nothing except new tires in the five years I've owned it! The inside is so spacious that I've been able to pack it full of people and two dogs without issue, and I've loved being able to put down the third-row seating and open the back hatch to make a large lounging area for sunny days at the park. The MPG is hardly impressive, with my Commander clocki... (more)

Story

My husband and I drove the Commander across the country to Orlando, FL, on an impromptu vacation. Thanks to the space in the car, we were able to stretch out while the other drove, which was a huge plus. On the way back, we were met with a massive regional storm. I kid you not, this Commander was like a Marine charging through the rain and hail, which turned into snow within the hour. I was ne... (more)

Pros

More than anything, the off-road capabilities and handling of the Commander are the best qualities. The space and third-row seating are less important to me, but they are things I've come to love so much that I will require them in my next car.

Cons

I wish there was a keyhole on the passenger-side door handle. While it's unrealistic given the vehicle's size, I still wish the gas mileage was better (14/17 burns through the wallet pretty quickly when this is the primary vehicle).

2008 Jeep Commander - Best Vehicle

I have had my car for over 2 years and it is by far the best car I have had yet. I bought it used with 60,000 miles but it is better than cars that I have bought brand new. It has not been in the shop once because the frame and engine are so amazing. The interior is warm and cozy feeling with black fabric seats. One of the best features about this car is the third-row seating. This opens up many possibilities of what you can do. When I go to the Drive-In movies, I can let down the back seats and blow up an air mattress (a full size fits perfectly in the back) to view the movie more comfortably. Also, when I moved I was able to fit nearly everything I owned into the back of the car. Storage is honestly the best part of this car.

Story

I took my car to a car meet that had a lot of sports/race cars. My car stuck out amongst all the small, loud, and fast cars and it made people question what I had under the hood. People kept telling me to turn it on so they could see if I had done any modifications to it. It was a big joke and I had a blast confusing people.

Pros

So much storage room, fabricated seats, many compartments, third-row seating, aux output, and compartments in the trunk.

Cons

Poor gas mileage, no heated seats, cup holders aren't big enough for some drinks, and the interior lights are not bright at all.
