New body-colored door edge guards are available as an option, as is Homelink and an auto-dimming rearview mirror with a built-in compass.

Pros:
  • Roomy and comfortable interior, peppy V6 engine, drives more like a car than a truck.
Cons:
  • Weak base four-cylinder, mediocre fuel economy and driving range on V6 models, cheap-looking interior.

  • my new tribute - 2004 Mazda Tribute
    By -

    I recently owned a 2 door honda civic and had to sell it due to the fact I am expecting my first child. We wanted to get a 4 door, but not a minivan. The Tribute was a good compromise. ***the truck I bought has paint bubbles in the clear coat on the liftgate, that I didnt notice until after I had bought it. My dealer ship is supposed to touch it up, but I wish I had noticed before taking delivery.

    Just got back from DisneyWorld. Loved the way my new Tribute handles. Smooth driving. Turning in lease for a Montana, glad its going back. If your looking for a great dealership in South Florida, go to Gunther Mazada and see Jim Collins. He is the best! They clearly like to give the best deal!

  • Amazing Vehicle - 2004 Mazda Tribute
    By -

    I purchased this SUV mainly because I missed driving an SUV (I originally drove a Ford Explorer and then went with a Mazda Millenia.) This was the first car I have purchased and I have not been disappointed. Mazda has been good to me as far as service and reliability so I was happy to purchase a Mazda vehicle. This is a fun car to drive. It handles like a car and I often forget that I am driving an SUV. For anyone who is seeking to purchase an SUV, I would highly recommend the Tribute. It has plenty of room for the kids I nannyed for this summer, taking all of my stuff down to school, and getting me around the city. I dont think twice about the reliability of this car. It will get me there!

  • Wonderful Car - 2004 Mazda Tribute
    By -

    I love my DX, even with the 4-cyl and manual transmission. While its not going to win any races, it has plenty of power for everyday driving. At only 3000 lbs, its power to weight ratio is about the same as most other 4-cyl midsized cars, and I really appreciate the great 23/28 MPG. Im most impressed by the crisp and smooth shifter which has an execellent feel, thanks to a direct linkage. Steering response is also outstanding. Im perplexed by edmunds quote the interrior "looks cheep", which I find simple but attractive and well thought out.

  • My report - 2004 Mazda Tribute
    By -

    We bought this SUV because my husband travels 100 miles daily to work. We needed a 4 wheel drive. I looked at many models, including those in a more costly catagory. This one fit it all: looks, reliability, price, mileage, comfort.

  • I love my Tribute - 2004 Mazda Tribute
    By -

    I purchased this in September 2014, with about 96k miles on it. It has a few scrapes and a cracked rear bumper so I got it at a decent price. Evidently the one previous owner took excellent care of it (all scheduled maintenance performed), and it has run fine until this very rainy morning. Flashing engine light, weak acceleration, burning smell and chuggy movement led me straight to the repair shop. 3 out of 6 ignition coils and the spark plugs were just about spent causing it to misfire. Not a cheap repair due the intake manifold needing to be removed which is a pretty big deal. Plugs were due to be replaced anyway. All else looks good and now its good to go for many more miles.

    Purchased the Tribute ES April 2003. It drove well in good weather as well as bad. Was able to motor about in the snow last week. Handled beautifully.
