Best car I’ve owned

I have a 2008 model with 109K miles and climbing. This car has exceeded my expectations and has been the most reliable car I’ve owned. I wish Mazda would bring back a modernized version as I wouldn’t hesitate to upgrade to a newer model.

2008 Mazda Tribute

Nice Style...cross between a truck and car. Best of both worlds. Plenty of room for driver, passengers and cargo. Too bad Mazda stopped making this model.
