  Love it! - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
  By DaveD - March 8 - 1:03 am

  We bought it to replace our Pontiac minivan. We were looking for 4WD/AWD, 7 usable seats and better gas mileage than Sequoias and Tahoes. We were torn between the Tribeca and the Pathfinder. These were the only midsize SUVs in our opinion with usable 3rd row seats other than the Pilot. The Honda Pilots interior seems too plain, like a work car. The Pathfinder drives like a truck. We bought the Tribeca and love it! Weve already been on a 400 mile trip in the Tribeca and the kids had no problem in the 3rd row. Great car! Fun to drive and we have all the room we need. Decent gas mileage for a AWD SUV and it drives more like a car. We just wish it had automatic lights like GM cars.

  Power Steering gone after 300 miles - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
  By Michele - February 3 - 11:40 am

  Three days after I bought my Tribeca, the power steering went out. I had to have it flat bedded back to the dealer. The fluid reservoir is full, no leaks, the belts are fine. I guess I will find out how good this dealer is in how they treat me through this. I just hope it is not something that will happen again and that they fix it right. I LOVED the car before this happened and will probably love it again when it is fixed and I feel confident it will not happen again.

  Best Yet! - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
  By Mary J - January 21 - 7:30 pm

  The Tribeca is the fourth Subaru I have owned and it is truly the "best yet"! At 15 years and 250,000 miles, I gave my 1990 Legacy to my mother-in-law and prepared to buy an Outback wagon--until I saw the "coming soon" promotion on the Subaru website. I am not sorry that I waited 4 months for the Tribeca. The styling outside and in is very sleek and eye-catching. The controls for AC/stereo are very convenient. The Tribeca handles very well and is as fun to drive as my Legacy. I have taken several trips to mountainous areas. The Tribeca holds the road in the curves extremely well and I have plenty of power climbing. It handled wet roads perfectly. Comfort, style, performance -- best yet!

  My 2006 Tribeca - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
  By Stephanie Allen - December 22 - 12:30 pm

  After a month of ownership I have found the Tribecas performance to be excellent. Its ride comfort is excellent with outside road noise at an acceptable level. The acceleration both from a start up condition as well as passing is better than average. Steering response is excellent and breaking is very smooth with minimum fade. Head room and leg room are is generous. MPG is as advertised. The ride is acceptionally smooth and subtle.

  Awesome SUV from Subaru - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
  By Manoug Beurekjian - December 7 - 8:56 am

  Overall the Subaru B9 Tribeca is a joy to ride and is quite amazing with a number of features standard. My wife was going to trade in her 99 Mercedes E320 and was looking to replace with an SUV. After looking at a number of SUVs, primarily German and Asian, I chose the all new B9 Tribeca because of the number of features that were standard and of higher quality materials than Nissan and other Asian manufactures. Being a loyal Volkswagen fan I was looking for something with a German look and feel without the price tag and problems of German. After the B9 Tribeca came out I was quite impressed with the press pictures and after driving it didnt even think twice, I bought it.

  Was looking for a Subaru - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
  By Stan - December 1 - 2:26 am

  I was looking for a Subaru because of the reliability, AWD, and performance. I saw the Tribeca in the showroom. I have seen one or two on the road before, but did not fancy the front so it did not come to mind when I was shopping for a car. I did not like the Impreza WRX, because it was a little too small, so I asked the dealer if I could test drive the Tribeca. Once I sat in the car, I fell in love. The console design is amazing. It drives and handles like an expensive luxury car. I was impressed by the safety reviews and the standard list of options that came with this car. So I ended up buying it and its truly a remarkable vehicle.

  Satisfied - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
  By OM - November 11 - 8:40 pm

  Bought this car in 2005. Handles the Michigan snow great. One of the best handling cars out there. The engine is a little weak for the size of the car and the gas mileage is poor for a 3.0 liter. Interior is nice and comfortable, and quality is good. If maintained properly the car will be in great mechanical condition.

  Fun car to drive, - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
  By Tom K - September 14 - 10:50 am

  I researched heavily against more expensive models: BMW X5, MDX and RX330. The Tribeca beat them all for less and my first 1000 miles have been fun. The car is more comfortable than my 1999 Mercedes ML430 and handles better. The Tribeca also has more horsepower than the X5 and top safety ratings from safercar.gov. In its first weather test for me it flew up an ice covered hill that other cars were stuck on.

  Awesome Crossover SUV - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
  By Dev Dawg 4 Life - September 13 - 5:56 am

  Have been driving SUV for almost 10 years and hit the jack-pot when I bought my Tribeca. Drives like a car with a SUV feel. Took weekend trip to Lake George, NY with 3 adults and 2 kids without a problem. Third row turned into a play area for kids and a extended bed for my 4 year old. I am 64 and and have plenty of leg/head room. Bought car for my wife. Like Subaru so much the following week a bought a Legacy GT Turbo wagon. Love both cars.
