Pros:

  • 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.

  • Solid Vehicle - 2004 Mazda Tribute
    By -

    I bought this vehicle new and have 112K miles on it. Overall, this vehicle has been solid, reliable and fun to drive. Other then routine maintenance, I have put very little money into repairs. Its great on long trips and in the city. Very versatile, comfortable and peppy! The only beef I have is the mileage. I average about 21 mpg combined. It seems like Im always at the gas station! I had no intention of keeping this vehicle for so long, but I have no good reason to get rid of it!

  • 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.

  • Drives well in the snow - 2004 Mazda Tribute
    By -

    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.
