TCC’s Bottom Line

If you don't require a third-row seat, the 2010 Ford Edge remains a satisfying alternative in the crowded pack of mid-size crossovers.

The 2008 Subaru Tribeca is mainstream now, in style and performance.

TCC Likes

Two rows of comfortable seating
Responsive powertrain
Handling poise

Newly refined looks
Crash performance
Sliding second-row seat

TCC Dislikes

Somewhat plain inside
Lack of manual controls for the transmission
No EcoBoost engine option

Moderate performance
Tight knee room up front
Dash is a little spacey
