Love the Tribeca - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
By Nancy Jo - July 18 - 6:50 amI am thrilled with my Tribeca. The interior and exterior are well designed. It doesnt look like every other SUV on the road. It handles well and has good power.

Good value and performance - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
By Gary Gleason - July 16 - 6:36 amFirst SUV (if you can call it that) I have owned; love the NAV system. The salesman showed us the dealership owners demo first that did not have the NAV system. What a mistake, we almost didnt buy one but went back and took a Limited for a test drive. So far combined mileage about 60% in town and 40% at 70+ mph is 19.8 and at 65 mph the NAV system says we are getting 24 miles per gallon, which is not bad for this size of car.

We like it a lot - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
By drjochen - June 21 - 3:03 pmWe have has the car for 2 months now and we like it a lot. It is very solid and doesnt drive as bad as your standard SUV/minivan. It drives more like a passenger car. It also roomy inside without having the monster size of some SUVs.

Love this Vehicle - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
By Lisa Mullen - June 21 - 12:33 pmI purchased my Tribeca three weeks ago after driving a Suburban for the past 8 years and I love it! It is very comfortable and easy to get in and out of. It has plenty of power for the mountain roads. I especially love the DVD Player for our kids. The trip to our cabin this past weekend was the quietest trip we have ever had. Since purchasing my Tribeca I have had four people stop me and ask what it was and just the other day found a doctor peaking into the windows while I had it parked in the parking lot. He liked it so much I ended up opening the doors to let him take a look at it.

Love the Tribeca - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
By Ali - June 20 - 11:40 pmI have had my Tribeca for almost a month and LOVE the car. I traded out of a Lexus RX330 and have not compromised at all. I have every available option you would need and the car drives like a dream. It is heavier than the Lexus but that is due to AWD that is standard on Subarus. I would definitely recommend this car!

Subaru Rocks - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
By Paul Browne - June 12 - 7:06 pmI have owned this car for about four months now. This is my second Subaru. Its a great car, handles as good or better than many sports cars I have owned, is fairly quiet on the road, and yes, it can get good gas mileage (you have to drive gently). Commuting to and from work I get 20 to 22 mpg, with mostly highway driving. At high speed on the Interstates (75+) I get 19-21 mpg. The manual shift feature I use a lot when Im driving in the mountains (NM), it saves the transmission from countless up and down shifts. The other vehicle I considered buying was a Cadillac SRX 7 pass. One test drive told me the B9 Tribeca was the best buy.

Great comfortable ride. - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
By Frank - April 29 - 12:16 pmHad this for a couple of months now. Been up the mountain a couple of times, in three big snow storms and still on the icy roads every day. It all handle very well. Gas mileage in the city is not that great, but you cant complain about a 25mpg average from a ski trip, can you? For more power, you definitely need to know the clutchless gear shift option. Its easy and fun too. What more can I say?

Tribeca - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
By RJBLUM - April 18 - 5:10 amMy first Subaru and a great looking, fun to drive car. Lots of features and perfect for a smaller type of SUV. Gas mileage is so-so, comfort and roominess is great. Sound system in this model is excellent. All in all a very nice vehicle.

Nothing but a great ride - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
By Roy McGrew - April 9 - 4:10 pmOur Tribeca just turned over 12,000 happy miles. Its truly a great car. Over the last 2,000 miles we have averaged 20.4 mpg. The state-of-the-art aluminum boxer engine is powerful and very smooth. It makes good horsepower, but being only 3.0 L, the torque is rather low for hauling a 4100-lb auto. This means it downshifts quite a bit under load. But hey, if you are on a road where it hunts, or you dont like where it shifts, you can hush up and shift it yourself. The "Sport shift mode" works great. Ride, handling, and braking are very good. We have the two-seat model and there is loads of room in the second seat. Styling is also a plus - it doesnt have the truck look.

Excellent Value - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
By Ron - March 13 - 11:43 pmSubaru has hit a home run with the Tribeca. The build quality is excellent. It has all the features one could ask for in this type of SUV. Good performance. Low interior noise. It has 18" wheels and is very responsive. Since its a brand new model just delivered, I cant rate reliability, but my experience with Subarus has been excellent. Thus far performance and fun-to-drive factors for the Tribeca exceed my expectations.
