TO THE POINT Selling Points: Standard AWD and stability control, unique styling, hill-holder system, cabin comfort, seven-passenger capability
Deal Breakers: Small third-row seats, unique styling, unimpressive cargo space
Our Advice: Subaru has planted the B9 Tribeca smack in the middle of a crossover marketplace awash in great choices, but without much to distinguish it aside from a controversial design.

2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca

SAN FRANCISCO – As the Subaru WRX blasts around a corner sliding sideways, a spray of dirt is ejected from all four tires. You’re racking the steering wheel back and forth to keep control of this racing rally car, the ultimate in small sedans, in an effort to retain the lead of the biggest race you’ve ever run.

Then your wife wakes you. Time to go to work. Darn, hate it when that happens.

The Subaru WRX is a car many driving enthusiasts have dreamed of having in the garage. Then reality hits – in the form of a wife and two kids, a mortgage and, oh yeah, a dog. Where in the world would you put your whole family and all the stuff they take along even for the short trip to the corner market? That’s the question Subaru asked and answered with its all-new crossover vehicle, the 2006 B9 Tribeca.

Perhaps the 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca will not fulfill the need for speed like a WRX, but it will take care of many of the concerns of family life. The good thing is you can stay with the Subaru stable, because with the introduction of this larger all-wheel-drive wagon you now have everything you need to help keep the family happy, while allowing you the freedom to play a little.
