Used 2009 Subaru Tribeca Consumer Reviews
Smooth, quiet, classy AWD
Have wanted a larger Subaru for years, first Tribeca was too ugly and underpowered for me. The new Tribeca is very quiet and smooth with plenty of power from the new engine. Getting 19-20 mpg in mixed driving, as high as 24 mpg on 2-lane highway at 60 mph. New tranny is very smooth, as is power delivery. New exterior was what I had been wanting, kind of bland grille but better than the fish-mouth of last year. Good handling for a crossover, ride is sweet, overall very impressed. Boxer engine/AWD combo hard to beat.
2008 Subaru Tribeca
Purchased our first ever Subaru. Have always owned Honda. The changes for 08 make an already very good vehicle better! Great performance with standard AWD. The interior is heads above the rest. Would have liked a sliding armrest on the console. My wife drives close to the steering wheel and the armrest is to far back for her. Subaru will sell more Tribecas if they can get customers into showrooms to test drive them. Put this one on your shopping list!!

Have had them all, and now?
Have had Tribeca 3 weeks and put 1500 miles on. A few defects found, but probably from Dealer roughness. Car rides nice, fairly quite and smooth. Have had WAY TOO many vehicles,and just traded in a Hyundai Santa Fe Limited. There are trade-offs, but I would put the Santa Fe first for now. Still happy with the choice, but time will tell. Getting 19 MPG so far. Rate a BUY for good value!
I'm impressed
Just drove the new 08 Tribeca. While cleaning my house and finding the Subaru magazine, I looked through it and found out about all the new changes of the 08 Tribeca. I own a 06 tribeca and have always been disapointed with the engine and transmission. So, went to town and drove the 08 and found the difference to be very very noticable within the first few seconds of driving it. I went back the next day and purchased the new 2008 Tribeca. I love all the great changes. Thanks Subaru!!
Amazing experience
This is my first Subaru and I am very happy with it. After 3 months test driving Lexus, BMW, Toyota, Acura, and Honda SUVs I finally decided for the 2008 Tribeca. Two months after my purchase, I am still very happy with my choice.
