Reliable car with lots of space
Very reliable car, spacey, and has all features that are needed such as GPS, aux cord, car charging, and seat warmers. Performance is very nice for an SUV however it is not gas efficient.

Subaru is a trusted name to me.
I love its all-road capability. It has loads of room for kids or hauling items. My only complaint is the small fuel tank.

Fantastic Reliability in Subaru
Great vehicle overall. Minimal maintenance. Wish it had separate temp controls for the rear seats. Very reliable. Would like to see better miles per gallon. Overall a great vehicle with room for improvement. Great for smaller family while still keeping room for guests. In hindsight would love better accessibility to the back area

2010 Subaru Tribeca pros and cons of owning.
The transmission will bang into drive other then that it is a great car with lots of options for its year. If they still made this model I would definitely buy it. It does have a built in TV and GPS feature in it with a 6 CD changer, heated seats and cruise control. The leather seats can be sticky in the summer but they are heated which makes winter warm. The Tribeca is not very good on gas it normally gets around 15 mile per gallon.

An interesting detail about my car is how much room I have in my car.
My car was pre owned before me so there are some problems that exist but I do believe that is because it is a little older and it is ten years old but a very reliable car. Good in the winter. Sturdy car never had problems driving in any weather. Also a lot of space I have three rows of seating so I can fit many people and have a lot of trunk room.

Great safe car, minor issues with mirrors.
My Subaru is very reliable, but my rear-view mirror has fallen off twice! Affordable, good size family car. I was hit by a car, and walked away scratch free. This is one of the safest cars on the market. Subaru also has the lowest and best rollover rates.

My personal review for my 2010 Subaru Tribeca touring. 7/10.
It's not the most appealing to the eye on the front end. A little ugly in my honest opinion. Once you get past the hood it is a nice looking vehicle. Very dependable. Only 17-18 mpg though. Very little leg room and the steering wheel seems small and not adjustable. The interior is nice and leather. While small, the 3rd row seating is very handy and works. Overall 7/10.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Neil B.

This SUV is very dependable. It handles curves and hills with ease. With the 3rd row removed you have a great deal of storage space. I would consider this to be the main pros of the Tribeca. No room to sit in 3rd row seating. Even a young child has very little room for their legs.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Neil B.

The 3rd row seating has very little room for a person to put their legs. Even a young kid does not have enough room. When my son was younger he had to sit laying across the seat due to this fact. The holder for the headliner at the front of the car. Comes loose from the trim piece. This needs to have a more secure holding device.
