2004 Mazda Tribute S review from North America
"Definitely a great price for so much car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong, I purchased the 2005 Mazda Tribute S + option 3,however, it does exhibit a thirsty performance (18/22 mpg.)
General comments?
This SUV drives like a car.
It is very easy to park as well.
Areas I would change are the interior door handles which are plastic. They look awfully cheap and should be in the chrome color to match the center console.
Passengers sitting in the rear many find that when the front seats are extended back, there is not enough padding to properly cushion the knee caps for the passengers in the back.
Also, the 6-way power seat option is only available for the driver. The passenger must move their seats manually.
The rear seats cannot be extended back, they are stationary.
There should be an a/c vent in the center console for the passengers in the back. Most cars like the Honda pilot have it.
After all these points I still love my tribute! Especially the dark flint leather!
