    Mazda Tribute


    RECALL ALERT:
    There are 3 recalls on this vehicle. Learn More.

    First Take
    A twin to the Ford Escape, the Tribute has a roomy interior, spacious rear seat, and good cargo space. Fit and finish is unimpressive and the car is noisy. The 3.0-liter V6 provides strong acceleration and 19 mpg overall. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder provides adequate acceleration and 21 mpg overall. Both engines are loud. Braking performance is improved. Electronic stability control is standard. The hybrid version of the Tribute was dropped from the lineup for 2010. In our tests of a Mariner hybrid we got 26 mpg overall.
