I love my Subaru Tribeca!

My second Subaru - and they're my favorite cars. Solid built, rugged, great in winter / rough weather. The blind spot is a bit annoying, and the headlights took some getting used to but I'll maintain and drive this car until I can no longer. Very roomy and great for longer car rides.

Great reliability, comfortable, roomy and AWD.

Just bought a 2012 Tribeca and love it so far.Good power, plenty of room, AWD is excellent. Bought for Subaru's reputation.

This is the second Subaru that I have owned and it has been very reliable. My last Subaru lasted more than ten years

The most important is reliability when it comes to a car.

Overall really good vehicles except for leg room.

It is a good vehicle, rides really well. I really like that the third row and second row lay flat to store golf bags. However not a lot of legroom in the second row and almost none in the third row and the gas mileage is not that great. Overall a really good vehicle.

Plenty of space in the back. It got all wheel drive and handles great when it get slick out

Great okay gas mileage handles good on the snow lots of room
