2012 Subaru Tribeca consumer reviews

I thought the truck would be great for travel with my 2 daughters and 3 grandchildren it's to compact in the 3 row and the cruise control will not go off and the it's a shortage in the radio the brake lights keep having to be changed out check engine light won't go out and I only had the vehicle for 8 months

This car may have high mileage, but runs perfectly! There are no known problems other than minor cosmetic ones. This is a great, reliable car for the family or for a college student where it snows!

The Tribeca is the most superior vehicle I have ever owned. It is fast, agile, solid and responsive. It’s safe, easy to maneuver in tight spaces and so reliable. Mine just turned 80,000 miles and no squeaks, nothing malfunctioning and feels the same as when I drove it off the lot! It’s a true diamond among suv’s!

We needed a 3 row that was not huge and ungainly. We wanted AWD and a good back up camera too. This is nice. It has a useful amount of room even with all seats occupied. With the 6 of us, and one third row seat in use, there is a lot of room. Third row is cramped, but kids dont mind. It has GPS, and uses that large color screen for the backup camera. Giving excellent rear view. Its a Subaru, so its AWD of course. Its pleasant to drive, adjustable even for small folks with good visibility. My wife is a new driver and she can handle it well, and I have found AWD drive makes a real difference in winter driving and adds a measure of safety for a new driver. All in all, we are well satisfied

My wife and I bought a 2012 Tribeca and are very happy with it. I don't get all of the negative ratings to be honest but the fit was a great one for my wife. The knocks on the car are the mileage and lack of room for the 3rd row. For us, my wife does not drive a great distance to work and the tradeoff for response and power on the car is worth it. The 3rd row is functional in that the only people who will ride in the rear 3rd seat is the occasional time our 2 children are there when there are others in the car. Interior set up is beautiful.

Subaru Tribeca is fun to own and really fun to drive. The standard AWD system is bullet proof. It's great on snow and rain. The engine pulls the mountains with little effort. The limited model has it all, Moonroof, heated seats with memory and if you have kids 7 passenger. Look at youtube videoes on any Subaru model and you will see wht its smart to own this vehicle.

We bought a 2011 and from the begining had back support problem, we decided since couln't get our money back to get a 2012 (design is better) but now we are stuck with 7 years paying this gas eater. Windshields and windows fog easily all the time, should bought an Acura RDX.

Having so many problems with a brand new 2011 went back to dealer to purchase a 2012, so far happy:)
