Anyone out there with Tribeca feedback.

Only problems..
- The wipers stink. First they wipe towards the driver's side, putting the
passenger's side rain on the driver's side until they return to remove it.
Then the wipers are very wide, blocking your vision. Ours squeek in the
rain unless it's really raining hard.

- Roof rack, non-moveable, plus the back bracket faces backwards.
- Stereo, nice but no way near nice as my '05 Saturn Vue with GM stereo.
Nicer display with MP3 display of directories and file names.
- Power, my Saturn Vue 3.5 L will run rings around this and this takes
premium gas !
- Tires... damn same as the $45 - 90K Lexus and Porche Cayanne. At $180
each and that's not dealer priced.
- Gas mileage, at 20 - 21 average except for long trips. Better then the
two car makes above I'm sure.
- No auto seats / mirrors for different drivers.
Oh well.. the wife likes it. Traded in an Audi A6. The 2006 Audi was
starting at $42K and I mean starting...
