Best Car On the Road - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
By Shirley - May 20 - 6:10 pmI wanted a SUV like vehicle which allowed me to sit up higher and gave me good visibility. Needless to say I found these qualities as well as many others it in the Tribeca. It handles like a dream; comfortable/quiet ride; superior sound system, great adjustable seats.

2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca Ltd. - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
By Tribeca B9 - May 6 - 8:43 pmWith only 6,000 miles on my 2006, I just had to take the car in for a complete/total re-paint! Looked almost like someone had thrown acid ALL over it. I have the champagne pearl opal. Thankfully after 2 months of negotiation, SofA has agreed to pay for a California re-paint. But as I planned to keep this car like I had my old MBZ wagon (200,000+ miles), I fear for the integrity and longevity of a re-paint. Otherwise, have liked it very much. Seems very powerful though a bit too thirsty after the diesel benz!

Tribeca Wins with Fun Ride - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
By CWhyte - May 3 - 12:30 pmAugust 2005: We compared and test drove new Subaru B9 Tribeca, Highlander LDT, Honda Pilot, Acura MDX, Nissan Murano, Infinity FX3,and used Lexus RX300. Final Round was between MDX & Tribeca. Tribeca won for us. Heres why: Better handling, especially in sudden high speed manuvers. Slight lean never gets worse than slight. Quick, accurate steering and shifting response. 255/55/18 Tires w/ 18" wheels contribute. Fun to Drive: Std auto trans adds "sport" mode AND " Manual mode". Zoom. (But Murono shiftless trans is cool!) Ground clearance: 8.4" allows a some off road adventure confidence. Features & doo-dads: All the rest being about equal or better than the competitors.

Great Value -- Subaru!! - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
By Vancouver, WA - April 22 - 11:56 amThe car drives very smooth and quiet. Great car for the money that looks good in and out, safe and fun to drive, and good on gas. Good handling and AWD is great in slippery/snowy roads. I drive about 40% city and 60% highway so I get very good gas mileage (average is 20-21) and on all of my highway trips I got 23-24 mpg. So the EPA is accurate for the highway for me. But again I drive very smoothly and try not to drive hard for no reason.

Quality SUV - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
By dtielbur - March 6 - 9:33 amWhat an awesome driving experience! Subaru has put everything they could think of in this vehicle. This SUV packs quality with comfort at an affordable price compared to other luxury SUVs. The dashboard wraps around the front seat passengers and puts all controls at their fingertips. Dual climate controls makes sure that men and women can coexist in the same car, controlling their own temp. Highly recommend the DVD player if you have children. The wireless headphones are a nice touch, making sure that the driver can still listen to their own music while backseat passengers are satisfied watching DVD. The 3rd row seat is not intended for long trips or adults and eliminates storage.

Nice Car - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
By Dave - January 30 - 5:46 pmI have had the Tribeca for almost 1 year. I have really enjoyed driving the car and have had no problems with the car. The only reason to go back to the dealership was for regularly scheduled maintenance.

Luv it so far - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
By AM - January 26 - 5:23 pmOnly 1800 miles so far and besides the gas mileage, I love the SUV. Have the Nav system and never knew how helpful it would be. Like sitting up high. Like the secure feel of the airbags and cage.

Awesome ride - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
By Jeff Moss - January 22 - 10:23 pmThis is truly a fabulous vehicle. I am a true Subaru customer over the years I have owned a Subaru Brat, Legacy, and now the B9 Tribeca and it truly performs. Not only is it fun to drive, it is well made and very reliable. I would recommend and purchase another but I simply do not want to part with mine.

B9 Tribeca - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
By John - January 22 - 1:13 amAfter six months, am still very impressed with this vehicle. Came out of an X5 and feel the Tribeca is closer to the drive feel of the X5 than the price difference suggests. Extremely nice interior and nav system.
