Excellent quality; average look

This is our second Tribeca. The first 2006 was an attractive looker with distinctive Alfa Romeo front but was lacking the performance. The new 2011 is a complete opposite. Average Pacifica like look with improved power and excellent track on quality and reliability. This is the only SUV that we'll trust on our trips to skiing resorts. Nobody can bit Tribeca’s handling in a nasty winter storm, especially with a set of dedicated winter tires. We also like the fact that it is Japanese made but assembled in USA. You have both: Japanese superior engineering and outstanding American quality.

2011 Tribeca Still Rocks in 2019

Here in 2019 we still can't find a reason to trade this beauty in. Granted ours only has 41,000 miles and runs like new, but it still offers us everything we want; and we don't have to deal with a bunch of unwanted "millennial tech" gadgets. Very powerful, extremely comfortable, and always reliable. Has all the options we would want.

2011 Tribeca perfect for us

The third row leg room is almost non-existent. That's why my young grandkids sit back there. It's not a minivan, so don't expect minivan space. Typically, the third row is down until those kiddos come over. Lots of storage then. It pulls my 1965 Bethany tent trailer with ease. I pull my 1976 Alumicraft without issue, and use the Tribeca getting it in and out of the water. If you can find one - five or seven seater - go for it! Drives well in snow.

An SUV that handles like a sports car.

The 2011 Tribeca incorporates the exceptional comfort and feature set of a true luxury car, but with a surprisingly low center of gravity and handling ability of a sports car. It is the most quiet and comfortable SUV I have yet driven, and although the suspension is sufficiently soft to absorb virtually all bumps in the road, it by no means sacrifices control or handling. When the all wheel drive is factored in, the handling can only be be described as phenomenal. The 3.6L aluminum flat six cylinder engine, paired with the five forward speed automatic transmission, supplies head-snapping torque, while the 256 horsepower performance provides amazing acceleration.

We love the car but parts are no longer available, they don’t make them. Needs an oil leak repair. Owned the car since 2011.
