Crazy About the B9 Tribeca

Looked for a used Subaru to replace my Toyota RAV4 which was unexpectedly rear ended and totaled. It was very pristine & when I saw it I knew I’d love driving it. It’s a solid state and beautifully designed vehicle. Comfortable to the Nth degree, the back and lumbar support is fantastic. It’s as dependable as any Toyota (which is important to me). It’s got a ton of mileage left to log and at 115k I’m confident enough to drive it to New England or the West coast. Love it’s smooth handling and sense of “serious car” because you don’t get this level of engineering at low cost, and it rides “expensive.” I feel like I’m in a Mercedes.

Great car if you like the styling.

It's a great match for me. Excellent safety standards, great in poor weather, versatile interior space, award winning interior design, peppy (but not fast), and exterior styling that I really like. Apparently, most people didn't like it. I think the redesign was boring.

Runs like a champ!

I love this car. My first Subaru, and it’s reliable. I’m glad I bought it. I plan on having a great time, as it’s all wheel drive.

Complete xxxxx

After a week, I couldn’t start it without being jumped. Got a new battery and still stayed the same. After a year, the engine literally blew up

Very reliable vehicle

Runs very smooth.strong engine requires little maintenance very roomy and comfortable.awesome stereo sound.powerful engine.picks up speed fastalso stops quickly. I haven't had any problems with it whatsoever. The only thing it doesn't have is a AUX connection. Other than that I highly recommend this SUV.

Very reliable and safe. Lots of room. The AWD is s

Excellent family car. Lots of storage. We eventually owned 2 Tribecas because we liked them so much. I learned firsthand why Subaru has such high customer loyalty.

Most trust worthy car I ever owned.

This was a great car. We visited many places with this car. We really enjoyed having this car. It never let us down. We liked the navigation feature.

Very dependable, drivable vehicle, LOVE IT!

This has been a trouble free vehicle for 140,000 miles and still going strong. Subaru vehicles are great AWD vehicles especially where there is snow. Highly recommend Subaru!
