  Tribecas great! (exc. gas mileage!) - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
  By Lanie - September 3 - 2:16 am

  I love my new Tribeca. I also own an 03 Honda Pilot. Both had the NAV system, the becca has the DVD too. The Tribeca is much more posh inside, but I think its NAV is worst than the Pilot. The driver shouldnt have to figure out which "zone" she is looking up an address in, and living in Pa/NJ, I have to switch between zones! The Honda NAV is much nicer, easier to work, and thus quicker. Subaru should send out discs that cover all the USA! This zone stuff is from years ago. Another downfall on the Subaru is the lack of the radio station and time being featured alongside the map. Press map, then feature, then back to map. Not cool. And the gas mileage, well, Im doing 18mpg at best on the highway.

  Great car for the money - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
  By T Jenks - June 26 - 2:13 pm

  My other car is a newer Cadillac, and I have only driven it once since I got my Tribeca 8 weeks ago. If you dont want a speeding ticket, you need to use the cruise control. This is a very well engineered car, that you know as soon as you close the door and take it for a test drive. I was looking at the Outback just for winter driving and skiing. Test drove the Tribeca, and was sold immediately. Test drove the Murano, and RX330, and I believe the Tribeca has much more bang for the buck.

  Great Vehicle No Compromises - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
  By Tad Bratten - May 26 - 8:40 pm

  We finally purchased the Tribeca a week ago and took it on about a 700 mile road trip through freeway (fast and nearly stopped heavy traffic), city (LA), desert and mountains and the vehicle performed superbly. Great looking and still rare here in So. California so the vehicle got lots of looks. The seats are great and we are coming from a Volvo. Interior is top quality and the dash and switchgear are perfect. Nav is brilliant. The car drives like a smaller vehicle than it is and responds very well to inputs for acceleration, turning and braking -- everything feels tight and capable. Quiet. You feel safe up a bit higher but will out handle any SUV out there. Avg 21 mpg so far -- just fine.

  Fun car to drive! - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
  By Jinnie - April 5 - 12:03 pm

  After owning for Ford Explorers I changed to the Subaru. What a fun experience. Sure there are minor changes I would like to see but if the position of a knob is my only complaint, look out American car makers! One problem ... the way people stare at your car! Worth a test drive.

  SUV With Personality! - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
  By Robert Brody - March 15 - 11:13 pm

  Complements from everyone on the looks of this car! The B9 is a great looking SUV to my eyes. It’s both modern and retro all at once. Its far better looking than the still unattractive WRX or clunky Forester; cars that my eye never really adapted to. Good power and handling. Awesome interior and comfort. Nothing but silky smoothness. I read one owner complaining about gear hunting, but my car exhibits none of that. Switching to manual mode is done on the fly and shifts are both smooth and useful. This is nicer than any SUV under 40K. There are some compromises, but the B9 has most of it right. Im very impressed thus far.

  B9 IS THE WAY TO GO! - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
  By b9 A+ - February 24 - 12:50 am

  Vehicle is awesome inside and out. Handles awesome in bad weather, although scary on ice, but what vehicle isnt. IMO its the best deal in its class. Some say it has a face that only a mother could love. Well call me Mommy, because I think this Subaru is one of the best looking SUVs out there.

  Love our new car! - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
  By HJD - February 22 - 9:13 pm

  First new car weve bought in twelve years, so it was a big decision. My husband is a car nut, and swore he was not going to buy a Subaru. But this won us both over. We love it. Very convenient, great interior design, very comfortable PLUS we are averaging 21 MPG (we live in a large city, so this is amazing to us). Test drive it and you just might buy it.

  Not The Car For Everyone - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
  By StellaLuna - February 5 - 8:00 pm

  So take this with a grain of salt ... I love the style, the ride is awesome, features above and beyond, easy handling, smooth ride. However there are blind spots and if you dont happen to be 58" tall they can be dangerous. This is my opinion and I realize others will disagree. The Tribeca needs a few improvements like bigger mirrors, higher seat adjustment, and redesign that side back window; it can really hide a small car who is static in driving speed. Also mileage is poor at about 15.5 mpg using super gas ... big improvement needed here. So take this for what its worth and if you are 54", take that second and third test drive to be sure you are comfortable.
