2009 Subaru Tribeca Limited
2009 Subaru Tribeca Limited - Subaru Crossover SUV Review - Automobile Magazine
We received both snow and the 2009 Subaru Tribeca Limited last week. Fortunately, the crossover proved more than adept at handling Michigan's wintry weather.

Add the Tribeca to the list of vehicles I completely forget about, but actually like once I'm behind the wheel. This has to be Subaru's nicest interior, and the 3.6-liter boxer-six provides plenty of power. I'd complain that the looks of the Tribeca are just as bland as the rest of Subaru's current lineup, but bland is much better than the Tribeca's previous design, which was universally chastised.
