LOL every review I saw said the handeling was too soft and it was
squirrely at speed. Uh....EVERY review? EVERY review but one comments on the Tribeca's handling being top of the class! I can give you a link to ALL reviews if you like, but here are a few major ones..... Motor Trend Magazine "The Tribeca doesn't mind being tossed around, as reflected in its 61.2-mph slalom speed, which is faster than that of the X5 3.0i, Pilot, Murano, and even the V-8 Touareg. The B9 has rack-and-pinion steering with variable power assist; it's responsive without being twitchy or feeling too light. Not bad for a two ton family SUV!" MotorTrends.com "Drop the hammer, and the B9 steps off briskly enough to discount Subaru's 8.0-second 0-to-60-mph estimate as at least a half-second conservative. A front strut/rear multilink suspension was tuned to closely match the handling dynamics of the BMW, while softening the suspension settings for improved ride quality. Fat 255/55R18 Goodyear Eagles match the size of the X5's sport suspension tires. An hour behind the wheel afforded few twisty sections, but each was threaded with aplomb and minimal body roll." Car & Driver "With communicative steering, four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, and big footprints, the B9 is impressively flat through turns and treats passengers to a compliant ride that still offers enough firmness to encourage you to take the back roads to Woodstock." Nice research Sloco! RB 35s5 NY |
