Safety
Here’s where Subaru’s rugged and durable reputation starts to pay off. While fluffy creature comforts might be lacking, the Tribeca scores bonus points on safety. Nobody doubts any Subaru’s sturdy construction — it’s kind of a no-brainer. These things are built like tanks.
The Tribeca’s all-wheel-drive system delivers varying amounts of power to all four wheels depending on where power is needed. This will help get you out of many sticky situations, if not avoid them altogether. The Tribeca also comes with stability control, a rollover sensor, brake assist and airbags all around.
Once again I’ve apparently expected more than the Tribeca wanted to deliver. Subaru doesn’t provide side curtain airbags for passengers who ride in the optional third row, something our Chief Mama Kristin noted in her review of the 2008 Tribeca as well. I’d like to see airbags extended to the third row, even if the row itself is optional.
