My wife purchased a new Tribeca 5 passanger, white. Living in NW New Jersey it replaced and Audi A6 AWD. Wanted another AWD. Bought in May '05 we drive in NJ and PA area and to date have only seen 4 other Tribecas. Rides nice but were Subaru got the 250HP rating, I don't know. Power is lacking for NJ, PA boarder hills. I have a '04 Saturn Vue with the Honda 3.5 -250HP. That car shows it HP at any moment, no problem. I only need half throttle to zip past anything. This Tribeca... nope. Good ride, nice insides, stupid non-adjustable roof racks for a SUV. So far we haven't driven in snow but I owned a 2002 OB so I know it will go. Gas is only 20-21 in standard driving. HW is better. High test is the problems. My Saturn takes regular and gets 21-22 and 25+ Hwy.
