There was an episode of Overhaulin' where they did that, it was so cool! They covered the child seats with fabric that matched the interior of the car they had overhauled. It was awesome! :shades:

Do I look like I own the electric company, gas company, telephone company?
Do we live in a barn?
There's no reason for a 20 minute shower.
et al!!
Ah the joys of children!!!!!
I will have to be careful using this one with my children - they will probably come back with "no, but we do live in a garage!"
I couldn't use this. I work for the Gas and Electric Company and own company stock. Haaaaaa

Do you see a money tree in the back yard?
I'll give you something to cry about!!
Just wait until your mother gets home.
I loved the styling, especially the "pug" nose. Nothing else like it out there. Although some have complained it was a little "underpowered" after coming out from a 05 Outback with 4 cylinder, this car seemed like a jet to me.
However, I have become increasingly concerned with gas mileage so ended up trading the other day for a 08 Altima Hybrid, loaded with tech package, sunroof, etc.
I fully expect to get the gas mileage promised, 35 city, 33 highway. Actually purchased a second one for my wife, two in one week. What helped a bit was that there is still a $2350 Govt Tax rebate on each vehicle. Plus, I got in trade for my Tribeca $15,500l also will get back around $350 balance for unused extended warranty I had purchased with the Tribeca.
The biggest complaint I had with the Tribeca was the extremely rough ride over anything but smooth surfaces. Even after I had the front end work done under warranty, the ride never really improved that much.
If anyone is interested to see how the Nissan Altima works out for me, catch me on that board.

Drop in and say hi once in a while.
Incidentally, the wipers are covered under warranty.
The reason why I am asking is because their is a gentleman on the NASIOC
forum that is looking to buy a 5 pass. Tribeca with beige interior and it has about
58,000 miles, Just curious to see if he is looking at the one you traded in, if that is the case - What a small world!
We will miss you on this forum enjoy your new Altima!

The Subaru Crew Chat is on tonight. The chat room opens at 8:45PM ET Hope to see YOU there! Check out the schedule
Tribeca!
It won for the entire CUV segment. :shades:
edit:
found it. alg.com
dont know how much stock i put into that award considering the Luxury CUV award goes to the Range Rover which is known have the worst depreciation, be the most over prices and have the most problems.
I trust strictly consumer reports.
Do you have the annual auto issue handy?
ALG's numbers are important, though, because they influence lease residuals, so they have a real-world impact.
It placed third in the top five just behind 4Runner V6 and Hyundai Sante Fe; virtually tied with Murano and Edge who took fourth and fifth.
Wear Item Limited Warranty
Wear item coverage is 3 year or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. Items covered are brake pad/shoe linings, clutch linings, and wiper blades.
I change my wiper blades every year regardless. I'm surprised.
I don't know if anybody has this problems. The material (leather)for the door panels are not great either. My dogs' nails pierces thru it easily. I also put some biscuit boxes on the front seat and the boxes lean toward the panel, now I have two "dented" areas and it didn't "bouce" back.
I also has problem going up hill, feel like the car was strained. I think my next car will be Forester.
Which Bridgestones did you put on? And please give us a report on them; i.e. ride quality, handling, traction, noise.
As far as easily scratched interior surfaces- I've only had problems with the hard plastic sides in the doors and especially in the rear compartment (where you PUT things). This scratchability issue was reported pretty early on in this forum. Such is life. It's an annoyance, but hardly a big enough issue to make me trade in an otherwise great vehicle.
Anyway, I will let you know what kind of tires next week, I need my receipt.
So far so good. Only have them for 5 months. The goodyear tires came with the car only lasted1 year at 27000 miles.
How can a big behemoth like a Hummer get almost as good as gas mileage as my Tribeca?
If you're getting less than the EPA numbers for your Tribeca, odds are you'd be getting les sthan the EPA numbers for any other car.
Come to think of it, many Hummers don't even have to post EPA numbers because they're so heavy that they are exempt from posting it.
My guess is if you're getting 16mpg in a Tribeca, a Hummer would get 10 or 12 in the same circumstances.
I'm getting 21mpg (but in Tucson, the boulevards are wide and long between lights)
Please help. I don't want to hurt the car.
It should be fine, though, in fact premium fuel is recommend but not required by Subaru.
I imported a 2008 5 seats LTD Tribeca from USA to Israel.
I received the car few days ago and I am very happy with it! The car is awesome!!!
I have two problems that I cannot find a solution for and I will be very happy to get some help:
1 The FM radio stepings are fit to american standarts which means stepings of 0.2 I need to find a way to changes it to european standrats which means steping of 0.05
I gave the radio to a technitian and for the moment He cannot find the way to do it
If any one has expriens with that or maybe even has a digaram of the radio circuits board it will be very helpfull since the radio is usless for the moment
2 All the electronc meters in the car show frenhit and miles. Does anyone kows how to chnge to Kilomters and celsius?
I tried to find some settings option but did not find any
Help will be very appreciated !
Thanks
Rafi.

The model came out in 06, and the headlights did not change until the 08 refresh. US models never got HIDs, so I think they're all projector beam halogens, basically. I felt there were fine, to be honest.
I haven't had any problems with the '07 headlights. While there may be better ones on the '08's, it's not as if there's a problem with the earlier lights.
I learned early on that the Tribeca runs smoother, accelerates faster and gets better gas mileage with premium gas. I believe those benefits more than make up for the 20-30 cent price differential.
I have never had a problem with the headlights, but I did install SilverStar bulbs as replacements and I do like them better than the original bulbs.
I pay attention to that sort of thing. FWIW my 98 Forester had good lights, but our 2002 Legacy had lousy ones.
My 93 Miata was also lousy but I replaced them with E-codes and H4 bulbs. Originally they had some awful sealed beams you could barely see with.
