I am trying to decide if l should go for a fun to drive suv (already have a '03 sequoia) like it, but it eats so much gas. Or go for the minivan.So are there any tribeca owners with 3 kiddos out there and what is your mpg?Is the 3rd row easy to get to and roomy enough?My kids ages are 3,6, and 8.thanks.

u can never go wrong with a subaru.

l would say it is the best choice of anything out there. Subaru is always being praised for their safety and they also have one of the best, if not the best AWD system on the market today.

The Tribeca is a great car for safety, but if you are looking for good fuel mileage, run the other way! It is rated at 16 mpg city and 21 mpg highway, which we know are never attainable in the real world. I'd expect more like 13-14 city unless an owner comes here and testifies to the contrary. 21 highway is probably reasonable, but no more than that.

The tribeca is a great car. Safe, and lots of space. Currently getting 17.7, but once it warms up, should expect about 18.9 mpg. Hope all works out, and let us know what you get!
