Beyond Highly Recommended

I love the vehicle because it is my favorite color. It is spacious for me. It is very nice on the inside and the motor sounds great.

Very Nice SUV

Nice vehicle. Mazda version of Ford Escape. My trade was a Ford Explorer so I felt very comfortable making the transition to this smaller SUV-driver?s instrumentation is very similar. I bought the Tribute because it is 4 wheel drive. Living now in Connecticut, I appreciate this feature. Very good heater. I also like the

audio system-the MP3 connection works with my Rand McNally GPS system well. The only regret is that the owner?s manual shows the fully loaded model. Those features like the heated seats, stereo controls on the steering wheel and the backup camera mirror look awesome. Nonetheless I really like this base model Mazda Tribute.
