A national personal finance magazine is looking to interview consumers who have recently purchased (within the past year) a new Subaru B9 Tribeca and would like to talk about your new car. Please send an e-mail to ctalati edmunds.com no later than Wednesday, June 28, 2006 by 2:00 PM PST/5:00 EST containing your daytime contact information. Thanks, Chintan Talati |

Replying to: viper2 (Jun 26, 2006 6:37 pm) Undecided whether to wait a bit longer or take the leap. Very concerned about gas mileage--most of what I have read on the message boards indicates the vehicle will certainly get no better than the 18 city 23 highway listed on the sticker, and probably less than that. Any comments on pricing and gas mileage would be very much appreciated. Also I believe 91 octane is "recommended", but not "required" Any one out there with experiences on running 89 I would appreciate comments. Lastly, I have XM Commander radio. I have it installed in my 05 Outback now with no problem. Anyone out there hooked one, or another model without any problem?

Replying to: occking (Jun 27, 2006 5:44 pm) Carsdirect.com has the invoice at 32,591. Taking away the 2500 incentive gets you to 30,000. So, it looks like they're willing to offer the car 15-1800 lower. I think my deal was around 1500 lower than invoice before the 2000 incentive. I didn't ask for a lower price because I only had one dealer being this aggressive. All the others were higher. If you have a couple of aggressive sellers, you should be able to get one of them to step up and improve their price. If not, you can always buy it for 28,200 which is still a pretty good price. Good luck and make sure to take the doc fees from the competing dealers into account. The lowest priced dealer could have the highest doc fee. Peter

Replying to: viper2 (Jun 27, 2006 6:48 pm) Just concerned about the darn gas mileage & do I really need to, and/or will gas mileage or performance suffer if I use 91 or 89. I travel around 32,500 miles per year & probably average just about 25 mpg in Outback. That's 1300 gallons say at $290 = $3770 per year. If I average 20 mpg in Tribeca, that's 1625 gallons, say at $3.10 that's $5040. If I made to with 91 octane, say at $3.00 that's $4875 still $1000 per year additional. Is the Tribeca worth it??? If gas is $4 per gallon, that's another $1600 per year. Maybe I should get a Prius???

Replying to: occking (Jun 27, 2006 7:45 pm) Consider a Highlander Hybrid, sure, if you've got the $40 grand. But it would take you probably 17 years to recover $12,000 plus interest in gas costs, so get the Tribeca! -juice

Replying to: occking (Jun 28, 2006 6:01 pm) I had one for a week, and noticed a big discrepancy - city was as low as 13 mpg, but highway was good, up to 25 mpg. -juice |

... I sure wouldn't be buying an SUV... But, that is just my take on it..
