Subaru used cars are very popular especially with people who follow off road racing
, Subaru is known for its world rally racing team. When looking at the Tribeca B9, you cant help but to think the designers of this vehicle had to be drunk when putting this together on the drawing board. It is one of the ugliest looking vehicles I have ever laid my eyes on. Subaru decided to stop making this version in 2007. The following year Subaru decided to rename the B9 and give it a new body and engine. But were here to talk about the B9 and if its worth buying used.
Subaru Tribeca used cars:
The Subaru Tribeca doesnt exactly have a big engine to drive a family of five in. It comes with a 3.0-litre, 245 horsepower engine and has 215 pounds per feet of torque. When looking at the fuel economy of the Subrau Tribeca it gets 13.3-litres, per 100 km, for city driving and 9.5-litres, per 100 km, for highway driving. Over all when the Tribeca is at full capacity it lacks the power needed to move around and its fuel consumption for both city and highway driving is average at best.
Everywhere I have looked on the web for information on what Subaru Tribeca B9 owners are saying is fairly positive. Tribeca owners really feel its a vehicle they can trust and rely on.
Lets take a look at some of the pros and cons before you decide to buy a used Subaru Tribeca.
1- One website forum I went to had complaints from previous owners that the body work was weak and one report stated that a tennis ball could dent the side of the vehicle.
2- Another issue with the Tribeca was the transmission control system.
3- It has a great safety record from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for front and side crash tests done to it.
4- It was giving a good rating from the Insurance for Highway Safety for front and side crash tests done to it as well.
I cant really say anything bad about the Tribeca B9; its owners seem to trust this vehicle when you read different forums on the web. The only thing if there is a weakness in the B9 is that the engine is not powerful enough for this model.
