I am proud to say that I owned Subaru's from 1993-2003 ranging from the Loyale wagon to the Outback Limited version. I was never disappointed in Subura, the reliability and comfort were always there. I average 30k yearly and was never disappointed. I did stray away to the suv-Toyota Highlander and have to admit I miss the Subaru reliabilty. I am looking forward at the 08-09 Tribeca, 5passenger Limited version. I would appreciate comments in this area Replies to this message: toboggan (Jan 10, 2009 1:23 pm) ateixeira (Jan 12, 2009 10:58 am)

Didn't get the Nav system, rear camera or puddle lights. Did get the factory installed trailer hitch. The only "thing" it needs is a telescoping steering column. 17-18 mpg around town, 22-23 mpg on the freeway at 70-80mph. Great road car, very stable (it's the AWD) in the snow. Great heat/defrosting. Nice having the 3-speed seat heaters. The sport shift is handy for engine braking going down slippery hills (San Francisco of the north-Duluth, MN). Next year I hope to have a set of Blizzaks on separate wheels- With current financial crisis the tires and wheels are a bit expensive (~$1200). Hope this helps.......
