I rented a commander for 3 weeks, and I really disliked driving it. The steering wheel can not move back and forth. It was the most disconnected car I drove ever. I would have to floor it to pass on the highway. It was a 6 cyclinder though. You will regret getting it because it will just be something that gets from point a to point b. When you get out your car, you will never turn back and look at it. Also whenever you open the trunk on an incline, and have stuff back there it all falls out. In the x5 at least we had the trunk open in 2 pieces, there are many little things we take for granted in the x5 until we drive a jeep. This is all my opinion though, go test on out and see for your self. One last thing, the interior is very plastic. You will miss the x5 alot.
