Subaru Tribeca test drive since 2007 SUV
Pizza-three
In the common opinion about the names of vehicles - they say, as you call it, so you will float on it - it probably makes sense. When it comes to ships. Sailors know better. It is more difficult with cars. Apparently, therefore, no one even calls fast cars swift, stereo or lightning -otic. Intrepid is an actual exception. The rules are dictated by marketing. Often comes out a complete nonsense. The editor -in -chief of the autopilot Nikolai Fomenko first had been versed for a long time in the name of the Subaru Tribeca B9 car, and then in the car itself. The best in the class, an expensive light SUV recognized the Subaru B9 Tribeca jury of the sixth International Interior of the Year contest, which took place in the 2006 summer in the Detroit of the Thirteenth Auto Interiors Show Car interiors. In the vote in 12 nominations (salons in general and individual details of the cabin), 69 journalists and 991 representatives of the automobile industry took part. A sheet of finalists was made up of 53 best cars of various classes and segments.
The car is richly equipped with passive and active safety systems, including three -point safety belts, double -wing pillows, pillows built into the seats and protecting from the side strike, safety curtains, active head restraints. According to the results of crash tests conducted by the National Road Safety Administration (NHTSA), the USA, Subaru B9 Tribeca received five stars for testing on lateral and frontal strikes. What is my udder. Thanks to kind people, they dedicated me a little in the toponymy of Manhattan, where there is Triangle Below Canal, or just Tribeca. What this Bermuda triangle is famous for to associate with it a worthy car brand Subaru, however, they did not say. Maybe with his native pizzas or wings-buffallo. Or maybe a massage salon Black Mom and the film studio Robert de Niro Tribec. What does B9 mean are also a mystery. Why B9, and not C3N5 BBC, RTS RTS GMBH pbyul? Surely only the inhabitants of New York are known. But it is clear to us right away who this car is made for.
63 thousand dollars !!!! Follow your lips, as Eddie Murphy said: 63 thousand dollars! This is an amount that does not impress only a person who has decided to say goodbye to this stupid world tomorrow. In the end, he decided to participate in the game how to spend 250 million dollars within 20 minutes. Since it was a high -speed game, the Subaru B9 Tribeca car also got into a huge list of burning lots. It is clear that in the States this car is much smaller and must be left with a bang. The Russian price is at least not adequate to quality in general. And most importantly - the quality of Subaru.
Who is the person who will purchase this car from us? The representative of the notorious middle class, who recently built a second cottage, but has not yet parted with the first? And already used to buy potatoes, but out of a long habit, he continues to plant and dig it up? Will it be a woman who is courageously breaking forward and upward in the harsh world of males? Or a man who has not parted with the thought of returning to heterosexuality? In this Subaru there is nothing that could give him the taste of Subaru. There is neither controllability, nor sharpness, no speed, nor Subaru charm. It seems that the people who made Tribeca went into the office to the WRC designers and put documents from the table, but not all and not the ones that needed. Another assumption: this model was produced by some gramophone factory, which Subaru lent his logo for a while.
AMUSEMENT PARK. One way or another, but the task is to release a comfortable car for a Negro mother weighing 120-150 kilograms and her four children-in general, was completed. But comfort is guaranteed only on dry asphalt coating, when driving in a straight line, at a speed of not more than 20 km/h and operation within Triangle Below Canal. Russia and this one who does not give an answer to the question where are you rushing? Pizza-three are incompatible things. If you do not kill you in this car during the first two days of our hard winter, then it will come to your bedroom in a terrible night and give you you up. As in a children's fairy tale - crooked and lame. This car is unpredictable. His behavior is so strange that it even becomes insulting for the highly respected brand Subaru. Where is the famous all -wheel drive? I can’t say how he would behave on normal dry asphalt - one can only be found in the capital in the chapel in the capital. But on the snowy and frozen coating, he sways like the first Ford Explorer cars, which were assembled in the California shed, and then pushed five mulattos and three meters in a adhesion with a couple of blacks. This buildup of the Black Sea Shaland in a storm. This is similar to what is happening in
Stargalaxy, where 20 square meters and carousels, slot machines, and cinema, popcorn, and horror caves. We have already reached the Vyshny Volochka, and he still asks us: we turn right, right? From the Moscow Ring Road to Leningradka? And we are already in Volochka. According to my sensations, Tribeca is overweight - 20 to 80. The front does not cling at all, nothing can be done with it. With a relatively extreme maneuver - a quick turn - it turns out that only three wheels work, and one is always hung. I note: with the stabilization system, the machine behaves better. But this is better to draw into the intensive care unit for two tenths of a second. I don’t remember for a long time that the car was so naughty. I helped her with gas, the steering wheel. I did all the exercises that beginner drivers do. On the machine, in manual mode, in sport mode, the car either just stops, or goes to where it is not supposed to. If we suddenly fall on a piece of asphalt, where the mayor of Luzhkov forgot to pour out the reagent, then we can even roll over to the roof.
The world premiere of Subaru B9 Tribeca took place on Detroit Auto Show in January 2005. The first Subaru B9 Tribeca left the Subaru of Indiana Automotive Inc factory conveyor in Lafayette (USA) exactly two years ago. Before the 2006 Moscow International Motor Show, the Subaru B9 Tribeca crossover was sold exclusively through gray dealers and only in American versions. At the car dealership, the Russian premiere of the European version of Subaru B9 Tribeca, adapted to domestic road and weather conditions, took place. The car is based on a modernized Legacy model. Subaru B9 Tribeca is presented in two versions - five- and seven -seater. An additional third row of seats, designed for two passengers, is laid back if necessary. This allows you to significantly increase the volume of the luggage compartment. Glums. Beauty requires sacrifice. Probably, here the speed, stability and other driver characteristics were sacrificed to salon amenities. The salon, by the way, is a little turned. Probably, this is the racing car of Agrippina Petrovna Sidorova from the city of Torzhok.
Amenities - above the roof. Here we must pay tribute to the creators of the car - they tried. Leather salon, two-zone climate control, electric drives of everything that is possible, CD/MP3-player, hatch in the roof, heating of seats, external mirrors, as well as windshield in the area of \u200b\u200bthe wipers, the original form of the ignition key. In the back of the cinema for the audience of the second and third rows, films on the large screen of the DVD mechanic.
I was struck by, however, a very central Tribeca torpedo with a Touch Screen Tribeca Tribeca torpedo. A huge place on the torpedo is occupied by the receiver buttons. You can turn and press these buttons as you want to turn the volume, etheric wave or timbre. Almost every function has its own key. But as soon as we need to change something or set up on a purely car, we have to poke a finger at the screen. And to find the desired mode or function, you will have to poke for a long time and persistently. This is very convenient, especially during movement. It is no less convenient to reach for the display, which is in Japanese close. The Japanese, as you know, love to place such things somewhere near the radiator grille. Further acquaintance with the on -board computer displays leads us to a curious conclusion: it is too Sexy, or rather, the Too Smart even for this car. The guide of the young encyclopedist is what it is. The computer tells us where and how we are going. He informs us about what day and hour in the yard. What is the pressure in the tires, and if it is necessary, at the entire distance from Paris to Dakar, the oil pressure, the level of liquids, etc., etc., will help instantly transfer miles into kilometers, gallons to liters, and Fahrenheit in
Celsius. There is a large button called BIP on the display. This BIP - it’s a pity that we cannot convey beauty on paper - accompanies the inclusion of buttons with a charming sound. I don’t want to say anything bad about the rear view camera - a fashionable element of tail plumage. But in this case, the camera is located so that it seems that it will stop giving a clear picture 100 meters after washing. In an amazingly comfortable place is in Tribeca cruise control.
AMEN. 63 thousand dollars! - With these words, he died. It’s bitter that a respected sports brand did not climb into her plot. Although humanly clear. There is a desire to sell more cars. Subaru cars buy only fans. And the marketing department is dripping on the brains of designers and engineers. And then Porsche released Cayenne, and after that everyone decided that they were not a brother. Indeed, the level of developments of automobile firms is so great that today Subaru can make a truck, and Man is a sports car. But only this is hardly a way of success. Nevertheless, the one who remains faithful to himself will still win.

4x4: Tribeca facial expression may seem controversial. In addition, in front, it elusively resembles Cayenne, from behind - strongly mutating Alfa 147, the sidewalls and completely, like the minivan, are massive. But closer to the fifth door on the sides suddenly manifests a muscular stamping, reviving appearance. All these elements are in some incomprehensible way linked to each other and attract a look. Even in black, the car looks catchy. Do you remember a lot of catchy Subaru, except for charged Impreza STI? But Tribeca is also the first pancake of the Japanese in the kitchen produced by the Parnis. But few understand me. Some consider the car at least strange. They don't like the new branded shield. Such should be put in the salon. The interior is made with a claim. Especially when you take into account that medium -sized SUVs are not the class where manufacturers practice avant -garde solutions. The avant -garde here - to count on the fingers of one hand.
Test drive: Sports and tightened Subaru B9 Tribeca attracts its functionality, intellectual design and technology. Experts have already managed to evaluate all the charms of the car and lined up for the purchase. You will not find this model in any salon: demand is now much ahead of the proposal. Official dealers advise immediately making an order and immediately make an advance payment so that no one could intercept the car ... Subaru B9 Tribeca came to the market in an honest battle for the client to fight with the already proven Nissan Murano (from $ 59,800), Volkswagen Touareg ( from $ 57 248) and the latest Mazda CX-7 / Mazda CX-7, which should officially come to Russia this year. For $ 59,840, which will cost the tribe, you will become the owner of a five -seater SUV with the legendary all -wheel drive Subaru. 
Cars: The futuristic style of interiors is increasingly found. And this does not always mean that the creators look into the after -performance reality. Most likely, this is a desire to shock potential buyers and stand out against the background of other offers. Both Japanese cars perform here in all its glory. This is especially true for Subaru. Outside of the tribe, just alpha Romeo with off -road ambitions (plus a whole bouquet of other quotes). The designers, it seems, did not disturb the accusations of direct borrowings, although it is unlikely that the Americans for whom the model were created are very concerned about the fame of some Italian firms there: most Yankees sincerely think that Italy is somewhere ... in Canada. Inside the car is more original, but with Subaru, except for the emblem on the steering wheel, nothing in common. 
Wheels: positioning, erected to the degree of sneak. Can you imagine that some vaz or, say, Kia, released a ruble model on the market? What, incredible? But in Subaru they did not hesitate to name the first Tribeca crossover in the history of the brand. If this name does not tell you anything, do not despair. This means that you, like me, do not live in New York. And from this they do not die ... Tribeca is going to the United States exclusively for the needs of the domestic market and was, in theory, in isolation: deliveries to Europe were not provided. However, Tribeca is in Russia, and in the salons of official dealers. How so? And so: we have sales of overseas Subaru - the initiative exclusively of the dealers themselves. Hence the miles with gallons and Fahrenheites. Get used to it. Hence the warranty conditions - a year or one hundred thousand kilometers. It will be not enough. It is quite appropriate to recall competitors, the main of which is seen by the Lexus RX300: three years of guarantees are a very serious argument.
Car Magazine: Tribeca is the abbreviated name of several chic streets in New York. By analogy, in Russia the car of the same name could well have the name Subaru Rublevka or Subaru Arbat. At the first acquaintance, the car is similar to a young girl from a very rich family, which nature has not gifted with innate beauty, but dad's money allows you to skillfully mask all the shortcomings and emphasize dignity. And only with closer communication you understand that it is not like that: she does not disdain to play football with the boys on a snowy field, and will never let down in a difficult situation. And in the form, as it turns out later, there is still some kind of highlight, which, despite the appearance that does not correspond to the standard of glossy beauty, still allows you to fall in love with it. Wrx vladivostok: Subaru Tribeca test drive in Vladivostok !!! It happened to the Sunny November Day! B9, new, with leather. The salon, hatch and complete minced meat turned out to be in our hometown ... About the estate: B9 looks perfect everywhere, especially well - on the Avenue of Beauty, against the background of the Golden Horn Bay. On Beauty Avenue, against the backdrop of the Sea of \u200b\u200bJapan, it took a review - was Subaru Klipp on the road. As part of WRX, B9 and Forester LL Bean. Salon B9 looks perfectly pretentious, expensive and very stylish. It is very spacious both behind and in front. The audio system sounds very worthy, has a built-in 6-disk chainer and mp3 player. Some American journalists managed to find cheap plastic in the cabin and recognized the decoration of the salon unsatisfactory for such a car. Taking a felt salon with your own hands, you just wonder-this is from what kind of overope you need to do a test drive to write this !!!
