#38 of 44 Tribeca Owners New & Old by ddarttr Aug 09, 2009 (2:51 pm)
Hello ,    Looking at the 2009 Tribeca --any words of advice ? We have been Honda dedicated and were not making it anywhere with the pricing --and opted to try Subaru --the Forester / OB --while nice and better gas mileage ~~certainly didn't match the Tribeca for ride ...   Any personal ownership stories would be great ~! ?                 Ddarttr Replies to this message: rsholland (Aug 09, 2009 3:20 pm)

Replying to: ddarttr (Aug 09, 2009 2:51 pm) The Tribeca has a superior AWD as compared to those used on Hondas, as it's full-time AWD, not on-demand AWD which is what Honda uses. It will likely handle better than the Pilot because the boxer engine allows for a low center of gravity.   The only real negative of the Tribeca is the small 3rd-row seat area. Also, Bluetooth will be available on some 2010 Tribecas. It's not available on 2009 and earlier models.   Bob

Hi Bob ~!   Thanks for your input ~~! We have only on occasion used the 3rd row of the Pilot, and were primarily looking for the 5 seat. We were amazed at the test drive --after taking the Forrester and the Out Back --we were "wowed". I started the test drive and found myself going -ut-oh" and chuckling within the first mile or two. Funny how some cars choose you ~lol. We really wanted the Odyssey - but the Tribeca seems to out shine it ~! It sounds like the new 2010's come out in October- November. Our dealer said they can get us whatever we want of the 2009's --easily ordered ...interesting to see that dealers generally only have 1-3 on their lots. Seems odd~~not big sellers ?    Thanks again ~!!             ddarttr Replies to this message: rsholland (Aug 10, 2009 3:52 am) mycx (Aug 10, 2009 5:17 pm) hoopsluver (Aug 26, 2009 11:26 pm)

Replying to: ddarttr (Aug 09, 2009 7:17 pm) No, the Tribeca has never been a big seller. For most, the issue is the 3rd-row seat space. It's really a very good car, a real sleeper in the marketplace if you will.   Bob Replies to this message: mycx (Aug 10, 2009 5:17 pm) hoopsluver (Aug 26, 2009 11:26 pm)

Replying to: rsholland (Aug 10, 2009 3:52 am) Just bought the Tribeca after lots of research and road tests. Had the Highlander, HiHy and CX-9 in my top picks. It is true that the Tribeca's third row is tighter than CX9 but it is usable. I carried 4 adults + my two kids (6 and 8) during the weekend and had no problems. I wanted the flexibility of a seven seater while avoiding to buy a fatter SUV.   The below speak to a couple of the competitors vs the Tribeca. Road tests for the Tribeca put it first or second on almost all comparison. The author mentions the roominess as the only down side.   http://www.popularmechanics.com/automotive/new_cars/4220226.html?page=3   If your are looking for an occasional use of the third row like me, Tribeca is a sure pick.

#43 of 44 DVD goes nuts when turning the engine back on by mycx Aug 10, 2009 (5:51 pm)
Would like to know if anybody experienced the following. I had a demo/brand new Tribeca for the weekend and wanted to showcase the DVD to the kids while in the city (read multiple stops). Kids wanted to watch the entire movie and not start it all over again each time we stopped. However I was doing it each time I had to start the engine from scratch or from accessories- meaning the DVD was still running - the DVD stopped and the only thing that was coming back was the sound - no image. Then had to eject the DVD and start it from the beginning... Anybody can advise?

Replying to: mycx (Aug 10, 2009 5:17 pm) Hello ! Bob~,       How is the Tribeca serving you? Is there any option you wish you would have included ??   We are in the midst of finalizing pricing and woola a third dealer ---pops up with yet another deal ~~LoL. It is the end of the month and the C4C is over --so I suppose I shouldn't be surprised....    I do understand that Subaru is very protective of their car line and guarentees ----related to customers adding equipment ---any added equipment -IS NOT covered by the Subaru warrenty.    Any surprises on your end ---??                                       ddarttr
