  • Liking it more than I thought I would - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
    By -

    We tested everything on the market, from the RAV4 all the way up to the XC90, and chose the 7 passenger Ltd Tribeca, feeling it offered more for the money. We are new to the Subaru brand and enjoying the experience so far. After a bad start, on purchase day, the car we originally leased broke down, but the dealership quickly replaced it. After 4 months of use, this car has really grown on me. Useless third row for anyone over 4 feet, but the fit, finish, ride and comfort are excellent. It fits two adults, two car seats and everything we need to pack easily without feeling overly large. The handling is sharp and the all wheel drive and traction control systems are great

  • Cant say enough good! - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
    By -

    This vehicle has exceeded all of my expectations. I feel like a walking Subaru commercial as people stop me in parking lots and ask about the car. It rides smoothly, handles well and has an opulent interior.

    Im tickled by the reaction my B9 receives when I drive by. It truly is unusual without being "weird". It is a luxury ride and makes me smile each time I look at it or drive it.

  • A fun ride! - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
    By -

    I have been looking for just the right vehicle that will fit my 66" body, be comfortable, get reasonable gas mileage for a small SUV and be fun to drive at a reasonable price. The Subaru B9 is just that car. I look forward to driving this vehicle each day as it truly is comfortable for a tall person. Although it is a bit lacking in 0-60 acceleration it has more than enough power to make the driving experience fun. Both the interior and exterior are refined and stylish. Some have complained about the front end being ugly but I will bet it will grow on people the longer it is out. I love it!

  • Love My New Subaru - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
    By -

    Ive had my new B9 Tribeca just over a month now and I love it. Its stylish and eye catching. Ive had several people comment and ask about it. It has great speed pick up and does an awesome job in the mountains. I chose the Mahogany color with Beige interior and it looks great. This is the nicest driving vehicle Ive ever had and I highly recommend that anyone test drive it.

  • Who Knew Suburu - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
    By -

    Suburu wasnt even on my carbuying radar until this SUV came along. Fell in love immediately after the test drive: great looks, lots of power, smooth ride, great handling. Easy transition for me from a 93 Toyo4Runner. Packed with features - this is the best SUV to get in the market for its value.

    I searched for mid-size SUVs for two months. I drove the Murano, Highlander, and fell in love with the Tribeca. I got the 7 passenger Limited with the leather seats, gps navigation, and sun roof. The interior is beautiful although I am worried that the chrome fittings will scratch. Drives very smooth and very quiet. I get around 21 mpg in town and 25 on the highway. I have had a lot of positive comments on the Tribeca. I love that the 2nd row of seats can be adjusted. I am 64" and I can fit in the back seat. I couldnt be happier with my decision. Plan on getting rear cargo mat and bumper cover. Definitely recommend the Tribeca.

  • Amazing - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
    By -

    I love this vehicle, it has given me zero problems and Ive owned it since new, Just took an 8K mile trip to colorado (from mn) without any issues, the 3.0 climbed pikes peak without breaking a sweat, what a treat it is to own this vehicle. I work at a subaru dealer and see these vehicles come in from time to time, but not for any types of problems, only for routine maint. I would buy another in a heartbeat. This is currently my 2nd subaru, my other is an impreza (1996) with 250K miles, and has been turboed since 100K miles. These cars are indestructible!

  • B9 BINGO! - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca

    This vehicle is awesome! I feel like Im driving a $55,000 vehicle for close to $20,000 less.

  • Fun "Car" to Drive - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
    By -

    We have driven 6000 miles to date in the last 5 months. This is a very fun "car" to drive. My wife is 51" and loves it. We looked at ALL of the other options out there. Until this we could not look at Subaru due to the fact we use the 6+ passenger seating often. I still dont know how my 10 year old fits in the 3rd seat. She says its very comfortable. As long as the family is happy so am I! What a fun car to drive, very sporty. I am looking forward to ski season to see how this vehicle does in the snow!
