What's New

The 2008 Subaru Tribeca is redesigned with more dynamic styling featuring new exterior panels, new 18-inch wheels, larger side mirrors and a new 256-horsepower 3.6-liter 6-cylinder Boxer engine. Mated to a revised 5-speed automatic transmission, the new engine provides more torque and now only needs regular-grade fuel. Seven-passenger models receive a 2nd-row tip-slide feature on the left side for access to the third row, a new helper spring for one-hand operation of the tip-slide feature and new grab handles are molded into the rear side panel trim. The 2008 Tribeca is pre-wired for SIRIUS and XM satellite radio and the navigation software has been upgraded.

Rare SUV by An MSN Autos Consumer on 05/16/2013. Trim: 2008 Subaru Tribeca Limited 7-Passenger, Owned less than 1 year.

Useful?

Pros: This is my 3rd Subaru and 2nd Tribeca. I owner a B9 Tribeca in 2006. I love the reliability of Subarus and their resale value plus you don't see these vehicles everywhere. This vehicle is also fun to drive!

Cons: It can be loud at times but this isn't a luxury car so I should'nt complain. I also wished it had HID lights.

Overall review: I looked at other suvs like Sante Fe, Highlander,Pilot and Sorento (my wife owns a 12 Sorento SX) but the Tribeca came out on top with me. The KIA and Hyundai SUVs caight my eye, I think their a great buy as well but you see them everywhere, just like other import SUVs. I like owning a vehicle that is rare but still just as nice and reliable. I recommend this vehicle.
