2005 Mazda Tribute S 4wd review from North America
"Great SUV for the money!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver-side sun-visor loose. Replaced under warranty.
General comments?
This is an SUV that drives like a car.
Quiet and comfortable interior.
Awesome V6 engine and transmission!
4WD provides excellent traction in mud and rain.
Brakes stop on a dime!
More standard features on the Tribute than the Ford Escape sibling.
Only complaints are the cheap remember-it's-made-by-Ford plastics and the lack of center armrest for rear passengers.
