Subaru B9 Tribeca Introduction

The B9 Tribeca, Subaru’s new crossover (car-based SUV) uses the Outback platform. It looks, um, quite distinctive even for a Subaru. You soon get used to it, however, and even begin to like it. I did anyway. Horsepower is adequate but torque isn’t. It’s OK for city and highway driving, but the combination of low torque and maybe one too few gears conspire to make it feel sluggish on hilly roads. Fit, finish and overall quality are superb. Handling too. MSRP: $30,695 - $37,695; Warranty: 3/36,000.
