There were numerous things that I liked about the Tribeca and numerous that I disliked. A good quality that I liked about it was that it was comfortable and had an overall good feeling about it. The seats were very comfortable, and it was fast an agile. The third row was a lifesaver (to a certain extent). I love the interface of the stereo, and the car drove very smoothly and the traction control was a plus. Was a perfect car for mine and my husband's off-roading adventures. Something I disliked was that it had a lot of mechanical issues. Even though it had a third row, there really wasn't a lot of room and was very cramped. Adults would be very cramped in the middle and third rows. Did not have a lot of storage area when the third row was up, which I really did not like. I would recommend this for a very small family of about three or four, but no more than that.

Overall, since I have owned my 06 Subaru Tribeca, it has been a reliable fun car to drive. Love the that Subaru finally put out a larger SUV, and for their first try, it's a great vehicle. I love that they kept all the key trade marks of Subaru, like heated seats and all-wheel drive.

The car is a great winter vehicle. It's had the best winter handling of all the cars and trucks I've owned. We needed a new car that had a lot of space and since we travel in some severe winter conditions we needed a good winter vehicle. The AWD performance has been superb and it has more then enough space in the rear for all our stuff plus passengers.
