Pros: What do you like about 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca?
Love the look of my Tribeca, especially the look inside and out. I love the dashboard, very sleek.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca?
The gas mileage when you get to a half a tank is awful! Power stinks.
It bucks a lot with the transmission.
No pick up.
Cup holders in the back would be nice.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca?
The car has a pleasant appearance, and feels quite heavy

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca?
The steering needs improved in addition to replacing the bushings for the stabilizer bar. It always pulls to the right. The fan assembly in the dash had to be replaced within a year. The car tends to not start at times. The interior scuffs very easily. The exterior paint needs more coats scratches very easily with light touch.

2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca Review:
Actually at this point I would not purchase or recommend purchasing a Subaru. To this point I have had the car since November 2006 and have had it back to the dealer multiple times.

2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca Review:
I traded a 1997 Toyota FourRunner for a 2006 Tribeca and the quality is ever better. Best ride on any vehicle I have ever owned. The gas mileage is good, too.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca?
Everything except the transmission/engine. It won't pull a hill and they are telling me that thats the way it is. They say it must be shifted manually to go up a hill. Its a piece of junk!

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca?
Put a real transmission in it that operates like an automatic transmission. For the way it runs it should run on regular gas.

2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca Review:
I will not recommend this vehicle to anyone, even those that I am not fond of!

Beautiful interior, smooth quiet with just enough Rev sound from the engine. The Aircraft front end in beautiful and unique. I love it!

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca?
Higher mounted arm rest on front doors. More dish to the passenger side spot mirror to elliminate the blind spot.

2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca Review:
The Boxer engine uses a high rev to obtain power, but once the driver is used to this the B9 Tribeca will out proform any production CUV/SUV. Excellent handeling and fun to drive. I actually traded in my Mustang GT for a Tribeca and do not regret it for a minute. Nice Job Subaru!
