The rack and pinion steering is pleasantly precise, grip is good and the car can be hustled along quite quickly.

Readers report Real MPG to be between 20–28 mpgĭespite a solid rear axle (no independent springing like the Disco 3, new Santa Fe or Pathfinder), it not only rides well on normal roads, it handles well too.

Engines range from 3.0 V6 CRD to 5.7 V8 HEMI.

The centre seats double tumble to provide access, which requires a degree of athleticism (or a degree in athletics) and isn't for the elderly.

And the seats fold flat in one simple movement that won't break a lady's nails. That said, the two in the back seats (or the dogs in the back, for that matter) have a separate air-conditioning supply. Legroom at the back of the Limited is limited because, like the Pathfinder, there's no toe room under the centre seats. It's also a seven seater in the manner of the Nissan Pathfinder and the latest Hyundai Santa Fe, but it can't take the same seven rugby players as a Land Rover Discovery 3. Oddly, but attractively, instead of hiding the screws that hold the dashboard in place, there are fake screw heads that look as if they do but don't.

The Commander Limited is styled to look a bit retro, along the same square cut lines as a 1990s Cherokee, and embellished by screwed-on wheel arch extenders.
