The car is deceptively fast and has a very tight steering when going above 50 mph
I love the sporty nature of the vehicle combined with the off-road capability. The fold down back seats allow me to store more things for a longer outdoor trip. I have a rack on the top so that I can carry even more.

Handles snow and ice much better than average
3 engine lights on constantly, black tape solves the problem . Tribeca is a great car for the money . I would recommend it . Comfortable and reliable.

Subaru. Great and safe way to ride!
My 2011 Subaru is a great vehicle for my family and I. It is spaciousness has made riding very comfortable for my wife and children. It is one of the safest cars on the road. And as far as mechanical issues, we haven't had one in years. And the one we had was entirely our fault for negligence. It is great on gas. 20$ gets me about a little more than half a tank. Overall it is a great car!

Subaru Tribeca is a great basic family car but does not have as much space as my family truly needs.
I love my car! It drives really well and is the perfect family car. My only issue is with the features. It has some great features but is lacking in others. It does not have automatic locks or Bluetooth enabled system. The back seat is also lacking the space we would prefer. The day there is a third row seat but it's really not useable.

Subaru Tribeca 2011 review.
I think it handles really well. The seat warmers are always a plus in the winter, and the sunroof is great for the summer. The seats are comfortable for long drives, and it handles really well throughout the year as well. The TV in the car is not used often in my household, but it is nice as well. The one issue is that since the vehicle is old, the parts are harder to find, but the vehicle on its own is great.

Very reliable. Our tribeca has 235,000 miles on it and is still going strong.
The Tribeca was everything we wanted and more. It is a well-made car that has good acceleration. It is great in the winter. I feel very confident while driving my kids. The only downfall is the gas mileage is not the best, but that's what you get with a 6 cylinder. It currently has 235,000 miles and still going strong.

Very safe and reliable car/car company.
Very reliable and safe. The only problems I have had are with the transmission and axel. Sometimes when breaking there is a loud grind noise, but have not had any severe issues. The leather seats and darker interior is really nice and sporty looking.

Comfortable and safe
I just bought a 2011 Subaru Tribeca Premium, with 100k miles. This one is very proper, all the maintenance was did right and the vehicle is very sharp. I find it very comfortable, stylish and safe, because of the Subaru's AWD System. I love the fact that even having a third row, there's still some considerable cargo room. The engine is very powerful, although it has poor gas mileage. Actually, that's the only thing I have to complain about the car, poor gas mileage, but, come on, it's a 6 cylinder engine with continuous AWD. In terms of style, for me, it's far pleasant than the 2011 Honda Pilot or the 2011 Toyota Highlander. Anyways, I have no idea why people don't like this mid-size crossover.

Reliable and pet friendly.
Reliability has been great since it was bought. I do regular maintenance and I have over 115k miles. The ride is comfortable and the features are ok. The only problem I had was at 100k I needed to have the "main control valve body replaced. " I was having a lot of backfiring and shuttering.. Not getting into gear. Since replacing that part it is been running smooth.

All wheel drive - great in snow. Subaru last a long time
I love the big seats, they are also heated. I like that I have third row of seating that I can pull up as needed - I do wish the leg room in the back was a little bigger though.

Great gas mileage on road trips.
Dislike the seat comfort and that you cannot turn off the vents completely and the camera is in the rear view mirror.

Large capacity, fast starting.
I always had Subaru. I had 3 Foresters and one Tribeca before. Now I own the last model of Tribeca. It is comfortable, durable, easy to drive, capable. I love my Tribeca! I plan to buy another Subaru and I wish Subaru would keep Tribeca.

A+ for reliability and consistency.
This car is really reliable, I have had it for a while and it has never broken down. I have had minor issues with the carburetor and had to do maintenance on the brakes and tires, but that is completely normal for all cars so I expected it. All-in-all I love my car.

Reliable, and safe SUV for a family.
Our Subaru Tribeca has been a wonderfully reliable SUV. As far as maintenance goes we have had nothing but routine fixes to make over the three years we have owned it. Interior space is a bit of an issue. Three kids, all with car seats and two adults are fairly tightly packed, even though it has a third row. We had a recent accident in which a driver ran a red light hitting the side of our Subaru, not straight on, and it barely left a noticeable spot on the car. It is clearly well built.

Great experience and car!
My car is wonderful and very reliable, it handles amazingly, is fairly quick to catch up to speed. I haven't had many problems with it to this day. The mileage is great and there's no problems braking. I really enjoy driving it because it makes the ride very smooth and enjoyable.

Reliable family car that has all the features a family is looking for.
Subaru Tribeca are good reliable cars for everyday use and for long trips. It has great gas mileage. I am a mother and I feel very safe having my son in the car as well as having my future child in the car as well. The only thing that is a down side to the vehicle is that the headlights go out often and the only place to replace the drivers side windshield wiper is at a Subaru dealership.

Tight row seating - get bigger if you want more space
The third row is very cramped. And it is difficult to comfortably fit a car seat in the middle row with the front seat back from the steering wheel all the way.
