I love having the v6 engine and all wheel drive-it makes me feel more secure I the midst of midwestern winters! I also love how much space there is in the trunk for hauling everything related to kids and pets.

Great, reliable SUV with plenty of space for a small family.
I love the smooth drive, comfortable seating and all the space in the back for hauling things. The heating and a/c heat up and cool down quickly. The only I thing I would change is adding air vents in the back because the people in the back of the car only have the heat/air from the vents in the front of the car. It is been a great family vehicle. I would buy another tribute in a heartbeat.

High enough to see over people. Don't buy it because the engine too noisy
Engine too loud. Drives well. High enough to see over people. No major faults

Great car if you keep up with routine maintenance
The car has been reliable with an engine that operates well and requires only routine maintenance. There have been a couple small issues (horn not working, seat belt reminder beeps every 30 minutes even though seatbelt is fastened, etc.). Overall, not bad given the age of the vehicle. I've got 150,000 miles on it and it shows no signs of having any mechanical issues. Friends of mine have driven Mazda's until they've put 250,000+ miles. Reliable and easy to operate.

Great miles. . . But a few leaks.
Excellent mileage! My first engine lasted over 200, 000 miles and it was well worth putting in a second. Be mindful of oil and Freon leaks though. The stock radio is also nothing to write home about so be prepared to replace it and when you do you'll need an din adapter.

Tribute to the 2004 Mazda Tribute
It's a great car that has been so reliable. I love the space and the performance is great! When I got this car I didn't like it as much because I used to have a Honda CR-V that got totaled months prior to when I got this vehicle. It took time to trust this car but my father found it and bought with a full tank of gas and it ran. There was a vacuum leak that was a quick fix and it needed tires so I cleaned it up and got it running perfect and I have put on 6000 mile on it. For a college student this car has been great for everything. There are technical issues but nothing that I can live without. It holds 2 large dogs comfortable and I just wish the gas mileage was better but other than that a great second car that I own!

It's an SUV that handles like a car.
It's roomy enough and it's higher off the ground than a car. But it's old, and not worth any major repairs.

I love how smooth the ride is in comparison with other vehicles that size. I also like that the back seat folds completely flat for storage. I wish that the gas tank was larger and it got better gas mileage.
The gas tank is small. If you are someone who drives a lot, you will have to stop often for gas.

It's good for a family of four.
There was no problem with my car. I used it for 8 years until the transmission was down. It's really good for family,

I love that it has the sunroof, my kids love it too
It's really good on the highway for gas, which I love but if you're in city driving around forget it you'll spend a ton of money on gas

Awesome car, but hefty breakdowns after ten years.
My truck has always run pretty well, although in the last five years, it started having more expensive issues like a broken alternator and leaking coolant. There are some electrical issues too that mess with my radios and windows. Overall, I love the size and the drive, I'm just not a fan of all the hefty repairs. The car is 15 years old but only 120000 miles

The cup holders hold nice sized cups.
Very good on gas reliable and smooth driving. Nice seats no issues ever. It is easy to handle. Nothing ever goes wrong I had to actually get a new starter due to my nephew. Other than that the cars nice I would suggest buying one. My next car of choice would be a Mustang when I retire from my future job.

My vehicle is very old, and I would like to replace it with a new one
I really don't have any problem with it. I would just like to upgrade, because it is a very old vehicle. It still runs good and the body of the vehicle is in good shape. I have recently put some new tires on it. Its dose have a 4 wheel drive on it but it is not functional

It still runs great to be as old as it is and for the mileage.
I have no dislikes about my car. Love my car. It has everything I wanted when I bought it.

It is old but well loved.
I love the size and shape of my vehicle. I do not love how old it is or some of the outdated features

It is reliable and spacious but gets poor gas mileage.
It is old but has held up well so far for as long as I have had it and I hope in continues to last me.

Great driving vehicle, few cons.
This car runs very smoothly and has nice perks. Leather seats that are heated, sunroof, etc. The seats are very easy to put down and you feel very safe driving this. Shifting gears is behind the steering wheel like a U-Haul and it is a bit of a gas guzzler, but not too bad. Great for cold. And snowy winters - heat and ac kick on right away!

Car battery has many problems
This car has had battery issues ever since I bought it. I have taken it to several different car shops and each time, they have not been able to find what is wrong. One day, the car will be working and the next day, it will not start. I have bought several batteries, new wires, starters, etc. But am still having the same problem. It really is a pain to not have a reliable car.

2004 Mazda tribute. Great overall value.
Only issue has been, radio and 02 sensors. Great mileage for 4x4. Very reliable. Tow package is great for our pop up camper. Seating is leather and hold up extremely well. Drives smooth and straight with mild road noise. Plenty of seating room. 6 cyl engine runs great with plenty of power.

Nice SUV for all around use.
Other than age I have had no problems with the car. Drives nice and gets good mileage and is a comfortable ride.

My vehicle's very comfortable smooth riding the only thing I would say that it would need to have longer seat belts because some people are taller and bigger than others. That was one of the problems that I was having cuz I am a big girl. But other than that I really love my car I bought it last year and I'm almost done paying the payments it's been a good car to me so far yet with a little wear and tear is hearing there that's normal for used car
I really love my car is very comfortable ride smooth and no problems. Is very comfortable and most of the time reliable. I had vacuum line problems with it where wouldn't crank at one time but as soon as I fixed it I had no problems. The only thing I have wrong with it now is that it need new struts

Dependable workhorse, great towing.
A good all around SUV. Great towing options handle even U-Haul's largest trailer. My first engine lasted almost two hundred thousand miles before needing replaced but the car was worth the replacement. Air conditioning compressor is a constant weak point as these get older though.

One important thing about the car is that it is comfortable.
The car runs fine. Ac works perfectly. However, the vehicle has some visible damage on the back tail lights.

It is a dependable vehicle, gets good gas mileage, and is nice looking.
Nice car, no problems, good on gas, nice looking, easy to keep up maintenance. The only thing I do not like is the radio could be better sounding.

My Mazda has 4 wheel drive that works on rough rocky terrain.
I love my Mazda. It is comfortable, reliable and gets good gas mileage. I love that It has 4 wheel drive because I camp and need it where I go.

The Mazda tribute is very dependable.
I like my tribute for gas mileage and dependability. It has had no mechanical issues. I dislike the room. We are a tall family and it is a tight fit.

Four wheel drive: Mazda Tribute
It is a very reliable vehicle that has four wheel drive which comes in handy in rain and snow. It also has a lot of seating options.

It's just a great little family SUV.
I had an issue with the you joint. Also my seat warmers went out, but we are thinking its the seat pad not the fuse. . I am the 3rd owner of this vehicle. Great for my little family and can fit 3 car seats in the back seat with no issues. Handles Alaska weather and terrain great!

It has been very dependable and maintenance and upkeep is affordable.
My Tribute is roomy without being too big. I do need to upgrade the stereo. I would like third row seating and wish it was blue instead of red but it runs great and is comfortable.

This car is very reliable and great in the rain and snow with all season radials . Front wheel drive gives better stability in the bad weather.
I love my Tribute. The hatchback cargo space is perfect for shopping trips and the back seat is good for trips with the dogs. My car runs great with regular routine maintenance. I did replace some of the coils at about 132k miles
Claude L

Good value for the money. Nice affordable SUV. Reasonable maintenance.
The maintenance so far has been due to age. It's a nice reliable car to use, its easy to drive. I like that it is a SUV which allows for ease in loading and unloading. The Mazda dealers all have been very helpful and well situated across the country. Nice car.

My Mazda tribute is a great commuter car and is decent on your gas mileage.
My Mazda has over 220, 000 miles and still keeps going. Little maintenance and runs great. The brake system did go out and that has been my biggest problem since owning my Mazda. It has been very reliable even over 220, 000 miles. I do have to constantly put in power steering fluid otherwise it makes a horrible dull squeaking noise. It is nice and roomy but still compact.

Comfortable family vehicle.
This vehicle is a great family car. It is very roomy and the seats are comfortable and adjustable. However there are no vents in the back of the vehicle so if you have little ones they will get hot during the summer. The car itself performs very well. It handles well and is a great gas saver for an SUV type vehicle. I am very pleased with my vehicle since becoming a father. I rely on this vehicle as a daily driver, whether it be to work or to a family outing or to the grocery store, it always gets me where I need to be.
