my 08 Tribeca.......
 
Pros: very comfortable seats, everything is easy to reach on the dash, smooth ride at higher speeds, dash controls illuminate nicely at night, great handling in crappy weather.
 
Cons: Terrible on gas, very stiff ride for city driving, cabin noise (headliner, rear panels) is excessive, rear hatch is noisy, rear seats make a knocking sound over bumps, third row is pointless.
 
Just make sure when you test drive the car (if you do), take it over different types of road surfaces at different speeds.
 
Go with the Pilot....as soon as i can afford to hand my Tribeca in I will be going straight to Honda for another Pilot

I'll definitely check out the Pilot. I want to check out the Veracruz too, but only 1 at my local dealer. Seems like a rare car. ALso the Ford Taurus X is very nice. I rented one for work and was impressed. But they are equally hard to find anywhere, why?

I came today to New York for business yesterday, so I took the time to go to the Autoshow with my brother in law. The Subaru display was plain vanilla, but, not like last year, there was nothing new to display. But after spending 7 hours taking my time to check every car in the show, I just can say that even with its annoyances, if I have to do the same again I would. Today, again I remembered that against my other 2 finalists (CX9, size feeling, MDX, cost) I took the decision that I could live happy with.
 
From the new cars that I saw, the new Pilot is, to be fair, odd, on the ugly side. It's tecnically a concept, but they say its going to be basically the same car. The biggest challenge in the segment is going to be the new Murano, that I checked 2 weeks ago in Minneapolis, and that then and today, everybody was impressed with its quality feel.

Did the Pilot concept look any better in person? The reactions I've heard were very negative, but that was from photos.

To Tribeca owners who currently use an ipod or any mp3 player in their vehicle, what is interaction between the mp3 player and the stock stereo?
 
More specifically, I'm interested in knowing:
 
1. whether the information that is on ipod (i.e. song title, composer etc) appear on the the Subaru stereo readout display; and,
 
2. whether the radio controls on the dash AND/OR the steering wheel mounted controls actually control the functions on the mp3 player (ie. volume, skip forward, back etc) If so, which mp3 functions are you able to control via the stereo?
 
Any info would be appreciated.
 
Cheers.

For 2007 models (and I assume '08s as well)
 
1. No.
 
2. No, none.
 
The iPod hook up is merely an audio line in.

It looks like an oversize Jeep Liberty. The dash looks cool, like the MDX, but the shifter, while better than the old Pilot steering column one, looks unnatural on the dash, not on the console.

I will confirm that the same is true for the '08.
 
It is a nifty auxiliary port, though it can be troublesome to change songs, albums, etc., on the fly (if necessary.)

I started another thread for the 2009, based on info I received from Subaru Canada, and a Subaru Canada press release on the 2009 MY that was posted May 7.
 
Cheers.
