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.

I have a 2012 Tribeca that has been an awesome car, other than brakes and belts, have had no issues and now has 220,000 miles. tends to go thru headlight bulbs prematurely and fuel mileage is not super, if I drive the car conservely, i can get 29 mpg. I love this car and will review again after it turns 300, 000 miles

Traded my 06 2WD Pilot on my Tribeca. Subaru has more comfort,better handling and (2 MPG more) than the Honda. 21-22 Highway and 19-20 around town after 13,000 miles. Best comfort since my Chevy Tahoe. Interior really cool. Love low center of gravity with the boxer engine. Would buy another one next time around.

I feel very lucky to have purchased my Tribeca Limited.I get a lot of stares while driving it and it is a true pleasure to drive. The Boxer engine puts out great passing power. I don't always relax when driving it because I'm afraid someone will be on their cell-phone, not pay attention and hit me.My wife test drove the car and a young girl on her phone tried to cut in front of us and almost caused an accident. I love my Subaru!
