  Great in Snow. Fun to Drive - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
  By Tommy K - December 17 - 11:33 pm

  I bought mine in January and had 2 snow storms to deal with. It handled the snow better than my previous Mercedes ML350 did or my current Hummer H3. Great handling, safety ratings, comfortable for all. Tiptronic steering lets you accelerate very quickly when needed.

  Disappointed - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
  By MJ - December 14 - 12:36 pm

  Interior is so comfortable and it has all the bells and whistles. However, the performance is horrible. When attempting acceleration at any speed including highway entering the engine revs to almost 7000 rpm before it kicks in and sometimes I can have the pedal floored and it still doesnt accelerate. Like others mentioned there is a problem with the headlights and poor visibility. Also, blind spots are very dangerous, almost hit 2 cars. And tire pressure light has been an issue since day 1. Goes off for a day after filling tires and then starts flashing again. Had a 2005 Ford Escape with 170K miles, should have stuck with Ford.

  Underwhelmed - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
  By A. Grupp - December 10 - 2:20 pm

  Overall, while I like the car and feel very safe driving it, I have been disappointed with a few issues. First, I agree with others citing the headlights as an issue. Not only is the low beam ineffectual, but I have had to replace the bulbs numerous times. Second, the heating has failed so I will need to spend $1K+ to fix it. And,now,the A/C is an issue. Third, there is a blind spot on the passenger side due to the small rear window. Fourth, the electrical system has been causing problems. I am sold on Subarus, just not on the Tribeca. I own a Forester and have owned the Outback. Love/loved both. Will revert to one of them moving forward.

  Excellent driving experience in snow and tarmac. Good power, excellent AWD and traction control. Windshield wipers obscure view of nose and headlights.

  B9 Review - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
  By RMB - November 22 - 10:56 pm

  Car drives really well. The AWD is really stable and the car handles excellent for an SUV. Car is comfortable, but still communicates a lot of info to the driver. Navigation is very well implemented and the stereo is top quality.

  My first Subaru. Fun ride. Comfortable as it can get. Strong body. Streamlined design. Bad fuel efficiency.

  Tribeca Rocks! - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
  By loki707 - July 28 - 3:33 am

  So far the Tribeca is more and more fun to drive every day. I test drove all the rest and the Tribeca I knew wouldnt get boring. Its not too big and not too small. Its the easiest to park of all the 7+ seaters. Enjoy one for yourself.

  Best Deal for the Money - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
  By Slonna - June 11 - 5:16 am

  Just bought Limited Tribeca with Nav/DVD ... and more. Rides great, in my opinion the best looking SUV currently out there, very well appointed-in/out. Came from a 800 mile trip and never got tired or boring driving it.
