    Picked up my Tribeca today. Very comfortable car and ride. I was looking at this car for a while, even compared it to Murano, Tribeca has a smoother ride and the seats are more comfy. The inside is very impressive. Beautifully designed. Happy I choose the Tribeca.

  • Great Features and Value! - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca

    My wife is a loyal Subaru customer, this B9 is her 3rd Subaru. The interior of this vehicle is superb. The standard features like power moonroof, AWD, curtain airbags, fog lights make it a great value. We really like the B9 styling, the exterior is very unique.

  • Better than the BMW or Lexus - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
    By -

    I previously owned a Subaru, and wanted to again buy such a reliable automobile. I test drove Lexus, BMW, Mercedes and a number of other SUVs. Then I read about, and immediately test drove and purchased the new Subaru Tribeca. For the money, the luxury and quality of this vehicle can not be beat. My average mileage is about 21; less than expected but okay. The comfort and style of the vehicle is first rate. Now that I have the navigation system, I can not imagine being without one (it is like a cell phone, it becomes a necessity). The interior is extremely attractive and roomy, also great headroom for a tall guy.

  • To drive a B9 is to want a B9! - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
    By -

    I happened upon the B9 while out driving other vehicles in its class. It was the fifth drive in less than a week. After about twenty seconds, I knew this was a superior ride to all of the previous ones. In the three weeks since taking it home, it has only reinforced my decision. I wait for the chances to drive it. I cant wait for snow to come. Its obvious that Subaru knows AWD given the incredible popularity of the Outback. The B9 is an utterly new level of Subaru. The cockpit is even fun to just be sitting in. I warn you, if you take for a test drive, you will want to take it home.

  • Love my Tribeca! - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca

    I love this car, recently put the AWD to test. The car handled very nice on the slick snow covered roads. I felt very secure and safe driving it.

  • This is an awesome car - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
    By -

    This car is a knockout! It is a winner in every category - interior comfort, available options, exterior styling, performance and fun factor. I still cant believe its a Subaru. Ive just returned from an 1800-mile vacation jaunt and I am more impressed than ever with the car. It is very comfortable during long days on the road and has plenty of power to handle any driving situation with ease. The DVD and NAV options really enhanced the enjoyment of the trip. The car competes very well with the luxury brands in its size class but at a substantially lower price. Anyone looking for a car in this class should definitely take a close look at the Tribeca.

  • Blind Spots - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
    By -

    Design flaw that needs reviewing is blind spots. Bigger mirrors may help however there is a definite blind spot in the rear window area. Nice ride, great features but safety concerns.

  • WAY TO GO SUBARU - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
    By -

    Safety, comfort, reliability and it looks good too! It moves out performance wise. The nav system is a very helpful feature and sometimes funny with its voice out of nowhere and bing bings. Backing up takes practice due to narrow limited vision in rear. No vehicle is perfect but this one comes close for me.

  • Having Second Thoughts - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
    By -

    Bought this to replace a Blazer with 112K. This has been in the shop more and for "unknown issues" than the Chevy ever was. Fell in love with the styling and the kick, but the electrical system is a joke. Mileage is better then the 99 Chevy and took a 3600 mile trip that was fun the entire way. This is my first Subaru but due to the "unidentifiable" mechanical issues, I doubt I will purchase Subaru again if the company does not stand behind their product. My love for the safety, quick response and original styling is being overshadowed by the maintenance issues that should not be happening in a car that is under the 50,000 mile warranty.

  • Perfect Vehicle - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
    By -

    This vehicle has met everyone of my needs and then some. I went from a Mountaineer which I liked for space but hated for gas. The Tribeca surprised me in how much room was in the back for loading and hauling. It is quiet (I drive interstate for work), smooth, and looks great. I have had minor wear and tear problems (what car doesnt) but everything has been covered by the warranty and been fixed immediately. I also get great gas mileage (have never seen it under 18 in town) and I am not overly-cautious or a slow driver! I plan on owning this car for many many years!!
