Compact SUV, great family car.

Very reliable and easy to drive. Performs more like a sedan, but is the size of a small SUV. Comfortable for up to five people at a time. Has the latch system for car seats in the back, along with driver and passenger airbags. Back seats lay down flat, when extra space is needed to transport cargo.

Mazda tribute 135,000 miles and its 10 years old.

I have had this Mazda tribute jeep for ten years. I paid cash for it and it was one of my best buys ever. It drives good and for a truck it is good on gas and comfortable for long trips or just running to the store. It has to have basic maintenance upkeep and it will ride forever. I have 135,000 miles on it and it still feels strong, I might get 200,000 miles out of it can you believe that.

Nelly H

It is durable, spacious and very comfortable. Use less gas

I like the space inside. It is so joing to drive. It is durable, I don't have any problem with my suv

I bought it new. Best vehicle I have ever had.

The car has lots of space for storage and fold down back seats.

It is very reliable. I had some manufacture recalls on it and the dealer fixed everything completely free of charge. It has been a wonderful car for storage and safe for my kids.

The perfect first car for young driver!

This is an awesome car! I have owned it for a little over 3 years now and I have had very few problems. I have only had to take it to the shop a couple times to get the air conditioner fixed, every other visit to the shop has been for routine visits (oil changes, etc.). The engine is a little noisy, but it does not bother me much. It is very easy to drive and very reliable.

Very reliable vehicle! Great for outdoor activities and transporting equipment.

My Mazda tribute is a great sport size vehicle. I find no blind spots around the car when driving. The rack on top of the car is great for hauling kayaks. There could be better lighting inside the car at night (the lights on the ceiling are towards the back and do not offer much light if needed in the driver seat). Overall a very reliable vehicle.

Great running and safe 2010 Mazda tribute. Excellent stereo system.

This has been a very great car for us. Although we purchased it used at eight years old, it was very well maintained. Just the time and cost of researching how to locate what was keeping the engine light on and changing the co2 sensor created a week of stress. We have kept the car maintained and 8 years later it is running so smooth... The only disappointment is we have found rust along the bottom right near the tire.

It is a great small family car.

Rides comfortably and is easy to drive. Very reliable. Wish it had Bluetooth, touch screen radio, controls on steering wheel and xm radio.

It stores a lot. It hold a lot of friends. Never had any problems.

Sensitive brakes. Easy to drive. Take turns easily.

2010 Mazda tribute! Perfect fit!

My 2010 Mazda tribute is a reliable and comfy car! It is not much money to fill up my gas tank which is definitely a bonus!! The one and only problem I have with my tribute is when I push the gas pedal to fast and my car feels like a roller coaster how it stops then goes slow the faster then slow etc. I think it is just a personal problem with how I drive. This car is great for long road trips, it is the perfect size for 5 people and there’s storage in the trunk. I love it because it is not super big like an expedition but it is also not super small like a focus. It is the perfect size for me!!

My Tribute is a great reliable family car with plenty of legroom for travel.

This has been a great family car with plenty of space for travel and day to day commute with my 2 boys. Leather seats are easy to wipe down and I put my heated seats to use every day during the winters. The back up camera is displayed in the rearview mirror which is great but I wouldn't mind having a larger display screen in my next car.

Pros from Owners

Eric D.

Good room and my wife drives the jeep comfortably also. Good on gas. It has over 100,000 miles but rides and sounds quiet. I keep it clean and it has been good to me. I am in awe of the power it has on hill and the break system I have not put brakes on it in 10 years.

Cons from Owners

Eric D.

I don't have one. It is a great vehicle probably a great first vehicle or for a college student. Ladies would love this car also because you just get in and go. It has 4 doors and a lot of space in the rear area. Shocks are great as it goes right over bumps.
