Jeep

A Jeep Commander on the Lodge Freeway was the perfect setting for fresh music reviews on a crisp July evening. Inside the cozy, tawny-colored cabin was a track bonanza of Dudley Perkins and his beat offerings, the 500 Days of Summer soundtrack (loving the Hall & Oates and Smiths throwbacks), the cheeky band the Verbs and more. Commander’s sophisticated electronics have been slept on – UConnect is self explanatory and easy to use — the hallmark of practical technology, and audio was clear and balanced. It was helpful to navigate easily between NAV and tracklistings. I was never lost, on the streets or on song titles.

On the outside looking in, Commander’s exterior design grabbed one area family that fell in love with the subtle vintage cues in the angular design, and the fold-down third row of seats. Commander manages to leave enough glass intact despite the hard edges, making for a pleasant and safe outlook on the streets. This design has road life; we hope it gets the opportunity to live up the challenge.

Stay tuned for critical notes on the tunes and tuning.
