This Year's Model Updates:

The 2007 Subaru B9 Tribeca crossover SUV is largely unchanged. All models now come pre-wired for XM satellite radio, and there's a new auxiliary jack for connecting portable MP3 players. Additionally B9 Limiteds now have a driver and front-passenger seat memory feature as standard and, as part of the optional navigation system, a rearview camera. Finally, there are a few new options, such as a remote starter and rear parking sensors. On the safety front, an anti-rollover system is now standard, as is brake assist.

Pros:
  • Alfa-inspired bodywork, stylish interior, lots of standard and optional features.
Cons:
  • Feels sluggish when fully loaded, coarse power delivery, lack of rear legroom, one of the pricier choices in this segment.

  • A diamond in the rough - 2007 Subaru B9 Tribeca
    By -

    Traded in a late model Nissan and bought a year-old Tribeca with 9,000 miles on it. This vehicle is a "diamond in the rough". An unbelievable value for what I got. The Limited trim line with the mesh grille and big chrome wheels really set this vehicle apart from the rest of the pack. Overall fit and finish is sexy and superb. Excellent handling and responsive boxer 6 cyl engine give a sense of confidence. This is the first Subaru I have owned, but have family members whove owned several Outbacks and a Legacy GT and I can see why they rave about this often over- looked brand! I wonder what Subarus service dept is like -- hopefully better than Nissans!

    Its certainly the one of a kind SUV - powerful, solid, luxury & fun to drive. Looking for a premium quality SUV for some time, I was initially interested in ACURA RDX and test drove that many times. RDX, besides pricey, turned out to be too small compared to Tribeca, especially the tight back seat and small cargo area; its also way too noisy when speeding up from low speed. Tribeca, on the other hand, feels more solid when turning & smoother speeding up. Some people complained about the gas mileage. Im getting 21.5 to 23.9 mi/gal combined local and highway in the DC area. For an SUV this size with AWD, Im happy. Sport shift is certainly helpful to gain speedy pass when needed-easy to use.

  • I love this car! - 2007 Subaru B9 Tribeca
    By -

    Ive had my new 07 Tribeca for a month now, and I absolutely love it. I shopped the Nissan Murano, and Lexus RX330, but ultimately had to go with the Tribeca. Its got a 3rd row (which fits adults comfortably, despite some reviews I read), which neither Nissan nor Lexus even offer. Plus I could get leather, dvd back-up camera and nav for thousands less than the Murano or RX330. This car is fun to drive, it has plenty of power. The only downside is the gas mileage has been awful, Im averaging 16 mpg, with a mix of highway and around town (with air on, its been hot!). Plus the tank only holds 16 gallons, so fill-ups are frequent. Overall, this car looks and feels very luxurious.

  • Great CUV! - 2007 Subaru B9 Tribeca
    By -

    Good, safe vehicle for my wife. Full time AWD, stability control, heated everything...good winter vehicle. Comes with all the bells and whistles for a very reasonable price, maybe because they arent exactly flying off the lots. The mileage isnt too miserable either (20ish). Plus, we LIKE the look of the vehicle.

  • Aceleration - 2007 Subaru B9 Tribeca

    The editors review indicated less than good acceleration for the B9 Tribeca and I must say I disagree strongly. My B9 has great acceleration entering and on the highway. It will jump out from under you if you require it. Super highway car.

  • Tribeca B9 is an excellent choice - 2007 Subaru B9 Tribeca
    By -

    Before I bought this car I read lots of negative things about exterior design in on-line reviews. Honestly, I believe its high tech exterior looks much better than the 2008 model and is totally different from other SUVs. I love it. Interior is amazing and built of excellent material. Driving is smooth as luxury sedan, compare to many other SUVs such as Murano that gives you the impression of driving a truck rather than a car. Car is stable and powerful. Like other SUVs, It is not good on gas. I enjoy driving it very much so far and everybody loves it. I couldn’t find people who hate the design yet and I am still looking for!

  • Great Buy! - 2007 Subaru B9 Tribeca
    By -

    Great SUV! Very smooth drive, handles very well on curves. Great turning radius. Good power, not great, but good. Very spacious second row, third row is not bad at all.

  • Spiderman, Spiderman - 2007 Subaru B9 Tribeca
    By -

    I traded in my 2003 Legacy Outback Limited for the Tribeca as soon as it came off the production line. It is so much fun to drive. It is also my very first automatic! I wasnt sure I would like an automatic, so I decided to lease it. Well, here it is almost three years later, and I am still smitten. I was so disappointed when they changed the front in the 2008 model. That is what made it so unique. And, that is why I will most likely purchase this at lease end. I am going to check out the new Forester, and then make my final decision. I am looking for a car to own for the next 10 years. Every time we have to climb a steep hill in the snow, we sing the Spiderman theme.

    Only have a few thousand miles on it but its everything its built up to be.

  • Underrated - 2007 Subaru B9 Tribeca
    By -

    B9 Tribeca is not getting the fair review as it should properly be compared to other foreign cars. The exterior and interior designs are fairly comparable to the luxury brands of Toyota, Honda and Nissan. You take a look at the safety features of the car you will be surprise its even better than those big 3 imports. I am enjoying my B9 Tribeca in terms of its luxury appointment and the price that I have paid. Try test driving one and compare it.
