Exterior

The Tribeca’s exterior looks like a typical SUV, which isn’t a bad thing. No seriously, I mean that. The Tribeca has a bold yet friendly look that Subaru’s reputation requires. It’s not flashy or frilly; there’s nothing to really draw your attention to it. But perhaps it’s this subtlety that the Tribeca succeeds with. Not every car owner begs to be noticed. Some people prefer a no-nonsense, get-down-to-business attitude in their lives and vehicles.

I did appreciate the truck-sized sideview mirrors that helped eliminate blind spots. The rear liftgate was a disappointment because once again I was expecting a little help with the closure mechanism, like an easy-close button or something. Instead I got dirty hands. Yuck! Has anybody seen the baby wipes?
