An amazing vehicle for the price. Refined, and crisp styling that turns the eyes. The ride is amazingly smooth and quiet. Subaru's best family vehicle in its line-up.
Excellent Choice

We tested everything on the market, from the RAV4 all the way up to the XC90, and chose the 7 passenger Ltd Tribeca, feeling it offered more for the money. We are new to the Subaru brand and enjoying the experience so far. After a bad start, on purchase day, the car we originally leased broke down, but the dealership quickly replaced it. After 4 months of use, this car has really grown on me. Useless third row for anyone over 4 feet, but the fit, finish, ride and comfort are excellent. It fits two adults, two car seats and everything we need to pack easily without feeling overly large. The handling is sharp and the all wheel drive and traction control systems are great
good car for the money

I had Volvo s40 2005. I had to give that car away and get the B9. This car is very well put together and runs great. Yea one minor issue, the gas. It seems like it is giving me a 16 to 17 not 18 or 19 mpg. But on the highway this car runs and is very quite. Inside they have done their homework. I love the boxer 3.0l engine. Best so far.

After a month of ownership I have found the Tribeca's 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.
Great car, but ...

I was deciding between the Subaru and the Murano The Murano had *extremely* comfortable seats, but it just didn't have the reputation and trust of Subaru. The Subaru was a little cheaper than the Murano. So far, it has been wonderful. It is very stable on the road, and at fast highway speeds, it handles great. But mileage has been noticeably worse than the estimates. Granted, I am driving less than 35 MPH in bumper to bumper traffic in Los Angeles, but I am still only getting 16 MPG ... though freeway speeds get me 22-24 MPG. I'm bummed that the Nav is now offered in the Ltd 5-Pass. I wanted it in mine. Overall, quality is good, but many improvements can be made.
Drove it and I was sold

I have owned the Tribeca for about three weeks and I am continuously amazed. When we first test drove it, I noticed how smooth this SUV's boxer engine revs and how much willingness it has on acceleration. I also did some crazy turns in a parking lot and I noticed minimum body roll and solid grip during acceleration from the Tribeca's AWD. Recently, I took my Tribeca on slick and wet winding roads at about 45 mph, and the Tribeca kept its composure. At no time did I feel excessive body roll or loss of traction. This is one fun car to drive! The exterior is a bit funky, but I've learned to love it. Also, the interior is pretty space-age but very comfortable.
Best SUV Value for the Dollar

I just leased a new '06 Tribeca Limited w/ Navigation. I am in love with this car so far. This car is so much fun to drive, and the interior is one of the coolest I have ever seen in an SUV. A great bonus is there aren't that many on the road yet, so it won't be like driving a Honda Pilot along with everyone else on the road. For the money (Subaru is offering great deals on the Tribecas), you can't beat this SUV. It has everything: Nav, leather, heated seats, sunroof, 6 CD changer, tons of airbags, etc. Plus the car has plenty of power, and doesn't feel too "big" behind the wheel. Add to all of this Subaru legendary build quality, and you MUST look at this SUV if in the market!
Not The Car For Everyone

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 don't happen to be 5'8" 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 5'4", take that second and third test drive to be sure you are comfortable.
To drive a B9 is to want a B9!

I happened upon the B9 while out driving other vehicles in its class. It was the fifth drive in less than a week. After about twenty seconds, I knew this was a superior ride to all of the previous ones. In the three weeks since taking it home, it has only reinforced my decision. I wait for the chances to drive it. I can't wait for snow to come. It's obvious that Subaru knows AWD given the incredible popularity of the Outback. The B9 is an utterly new level of Subaru. The cockpit is even fun to just be sitting in. I warn you, if you take for a test drive, you will want to take it home.
