Good Deal...
Recently purchased a demo 06 Commander for around $19k. I was amazed at all the standard features this car has. To me the Commander drives better than my sister's Tahoe which she paid $12k more. Can't beat the price especially when Jeep is always giving incentives. Only complaint is the 3rd row which takes up to much usable space. Had a problem with the tire monitor going off for no reason, but dealer fixed it.
Amazingly Reliable & never stalled out, ever!
My wife bought this 2006 commander off the lot new. The Jeep was used as a test vehicle model for customers to drive. It’s now July 21,2018 and we still own it with 94,000 miles. The only major mechanical problems we paid for was when the oil began to drip a little bit and had the seal replaced $300. Secondary it was the electrical braking system (EBS) and that cost us around $300 too. The cowl panel that sits below the windshield wipers to keep moisture from rising up “Disintegrated”. I have no idea what happen to it. But we had no moisture problems leaking up from under The windshield anyway. The back passenger door handle broke on the inside really easy when I bumped into it when loading up a 5 gallon bucket of edger blades into the back seat floor board to bring to the recycle plant. But now we have to replace the entire panel in order to open the door from the inside. The Jeep is black too so in saying that the Florida sun has turned the fender flares almost bleach white from the 12pm-4pm sun beating down. But overall within the 12 years I bought 2 new sets of tires and rims for her and I keep the oil change every 4,000 miles and it starts right up ever single day. It’s not a perfect vehicle but it is a damn reliable one! But today I think we may have to sell it because we both lost our jobs within 3 weeks apart of one another and we never ever thought this would happen.

Jeep review
I really like how it handles and how big it is. I really like that it seats up to 7 passengers. The design of it is nice. It looks and rides great. I have always love Jeep. It really does well in the snow.
Great SUB
I purchased my 2006 Commander used in early 2007. It was the 3.7 V6 RWD model with all the option, Nav, Rear Seat DVD, etc. It had very few problems, rarely took it to deal for more than brakes and oil changes. I was in head on crash 7/18/09 and came away with no broken bones. One thing I wish Jeep was and would put into along with all auto makers is knee airbags. I really could have used that as the driver. Left leg can't put any pressure onand have to use crutches for a while, maybe even surgery, now sure yet. Knee airbag really would ahve helped, but car is total and I did pretty much walk away and as soon as I can, I'm planning on buying another Commander.
Easy SUV to drive
I've owned several SUV's and full size trucks and this thing rides better than any. It's got a better truning radius than most full size cars. I did have an issue right out of the start with the transmission down shifting hard into 2nd on deceleration. The dealer reset the computer and it went away. The gas mileage is also very poor averaging a little over 15 mpg mixed use. On long road trips the seat puts my legs to sleep and I get sharp pains in my legs. I wish I would have gotten the Hemi.
