Subaru B9 Tribeca (06-07) - Review Review by Simon Harris on 07 August 2006 Last Updated: 20 August 2009 Rivalling cars like the Nissan Murano and Lexus RX, the Subaru Tribeca uses the same 3.0-litre six-cylinder 'boxer' engine as found in the Legacy linked to a five-speed automatic transmission. It has permanent four-wheel drive, but has been designed for on-road use rather than driving off road. In fact Subaru's own Legacy Outback model is more of an off-road vehicle than the Tribeca. The plush looking interior has soothing, flowing lines, but the exterior styling jars, with heavy-handed details at the front and a fussy tailgate area which makes the car look larger than it is. The vague steering lets it down on the road and it lacks the driver appeal you'd expect given Subaru's reputation for keen handling cars. 2.5 out of 5 Other Subaru reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Gallery 4 out of 5 Safety The Tribeca has performed well in US crash tests but hasn't been crash tested by Euro NCAP which uses different criteria. Stability control, front, side and curtain airbags, and active head restraints are standard across the range. Isofix child seat mountings are also fitted in the second row.
