Also, the Highlander does get 28 MPG, but it also improves its performance. However, the Highlander Hybrid's sticker price may shock at over $47k.

@jvrdlc Subaru's Symmetrical AWD is far superior to anything out there, the only comparison you could make is to the more expensive quattro from Audi. The Highlander has slightly better gas milage. If you want good gas mileage in an SUV, go for the Highlander Hybrid, but be warned you may not get your upfront investment in the Hybrid over the V6 for a while.

@Z3syst3m The B9 looked really unappealing. Just because you own the old one doesn't make this facelifted model the "WORST SUBARU EVER MADE. UGLY AND USELESS AS HELL." Remember that it's still pretty much the same vehicle with small changes.

I think is handy to have a 3rd row for kids, it make it more flexible. I wouldn't put adults in the back like some reviewers. But I wish the 2nd row seat slides back when the 3rd row is flat to accomodate space. Anyways is a good suv, but comparing to the pilot and highlander, which AWD is better for extreme snow, and which if the 3 gives u more gas millage?

I love this renewed Tribeca. The exterior looks great as well as the grill - stylish & streamlined. The interior looks fantastic, could not be looking better - most others just look dull in comparison. Here is one correction to the video: use the main lever and the side lever to push the 2nd row all the way back. It's funny to see how folks are trying to compare it to a non-subaru vehicle - apparently there is lack of understanding of mechanical internals and capabilities. Let it snow!
