It will share the garage with my '98 OBW Ltd that is our motor home toad (towed). The OB will be gathering fewer driven miles each year. Should last forever.
Toboggan
I don't see too many Outbacks towed behind motorhomes... I assume it's gotta be on a trailer, right?
Subaru made a big deal about the Regular fuel thing in their marketing, it's mentioned every time I read about the 08 updates.
After much debate on 3rd row comfort in tribeca, i just bought 08 tribeca with everything on it. It drives like a dream. I honestly think this will be a hit (like WRX).
nothing else comes even close in its price range. I test drove MDX, RX, XC90. We almost got XC 90 except that my wife will visit the shop 2 times a month. TRIBECA is a well made vehicle. bought mainly for its AWD, safety and not boxy
Got a Deep Bronze metallic color. MSRP 39k (with puddle, auto dimm, remote start). Got it for 35k - 2k subaru bucks = 33k at 2.9% financing.
thanks everyone !
NOW I AM A PROUD OWNER OF 2 SUBARUS, THE OTHER ONE IS 05 XT. MY WIFE DUMPED ODDY - CALLING IT A BIG BOX.
you did well.
enjoy your new ride.
2.9%? My credit union is at about 7-8% right now!
tribeca is a very stylish 5-seater. if you need only space in 3rd row - check out pilot, highlander.
for more info, read editorial reviews on carand driver & edmunds.com
Saw a new Highlander on the road on Sunday, first one. Also saw one at the park in Ocean City, MD, Toyota must have been the sponsor to the "Sundaes in the Park" concerts. Looks better in person, I wasn't impressed by the photos. I have the 3.5l engine in my Sienna and that engine is golden.
Tribeca is the most stylish by a long shot, inside and out. That and the AWD system is the most sophisticated. Get a Chase Subaru credit card and you can pay for maintenance with the Subaru Bucks you earn. It's actually fun to drive, and the interior makes you feel like you're richer than you actually are.
I suppose I just had this supremely naive notion that I would get more than 50 miles out of my new car before my first CEL illumination. :P
That's right! And, it being the first "modern" manual I had driven, that is saying quite a bit! It was quite a different feel than the old work trucks I have driven all my life.
Also, does anybody know why Canada get Xenons and we don't?
TIA
Where did you buy it? IIRC, you were wary of Subaru of Wilmington but now that Patrick owns them...
Juice, I'm very impressed by the Hyundai Veracruz. I'm still having a hard time warming up to the Tribeca intergalactic styling of the IP.
I loved the Veracruz' seats. Fantastic. Better than the Subie's for sure, especially the soft leather.
Beyond that, it reminds me too much of a Buick for some reason. I could do without the wood, and I don't like the vent layout.
It's not bad at all, just not inspired.
No matter, the overall interior is a great effort. I really like the chocolate colored leather seats Hyundai offers.
I do wish the Veracruz were bigger, though. The Santa Fe is SO CLOSE to its size, it seems ridiculous. The VC should have been sized like the Outlook IMO.
Of course, some people say the same about the Tribeca and the Outback. The cargo floor of the 5 seater is within an inch of the Outback's in both length and width.
I want Subaru to give us a van, then they can monkey around with another SUV. :P
don't even touch patrick motors.
I ask because consumer reports said the 2006's lights were pretty bad.
TIA

In the back, legroom is great
Of course Subaru took that knob off the 5 seat models, so that finally car reviewers could figure it out. That's what it took, seriously.
The Veracruz, in basic GLS form, gets more standard features and more seats in a larger (overall) interior, for about $2,000 less than the base Tribeca
Yeah, with only FWD, and AWD being an option worth at least, you guessed it, $2000. :mad:
i am seriously looking for a tribeca now or the enclave
was this the 7seater with some options for that msrp
how did you get sucha good deal and from where

If you're not close, ask local dealers to beat that price. Compare with other on-line no-haggle prices and maybe some e-quotes from the internet dept of local dealers.
I have no idea about these two cars perform. Is Subaru more reliable. I know they assemble the Saturn in Mexico.
I am thinking about purchasing a Subaru 2008 Tribeca but I was also looking at the new vue.
The Vue is quite a bit smaller than the Tribeca.
Tribeca reliability is excellent, I'd expect the Vue's reliability to be very good. I"d give the 'beca a slight edge here since it's in it's 3rd year, whereas the Vue is all new this year.
It's the opposite of Subaru. Saturn offers small and large, with a wide spread between them.
Subaru offers compact, mid, and mid, all close in size.
I know Subaru is very reliable. I also thought about the Ford Edge as a possibility.
Any info. is appreciated.
Don't be too scared by the price on the window... '08 Tribeca can be had for under invoice (check the Tribeca Prices Paid & Buying Experience thread), and comes well-equipped.
If you've got it narrowed down, drive the top two or three on your list & see what you think.
