Pls gurus in the house, I am interested in buying Mazda Tribute, kindly enlighten me about the Pros and Cons of Mazda Tribute SUV. I will also appreciate contributions from guys who have owned or used this SUV. Note that this is the first time I am going to use SUV but I have used sedan cars. So am a novice in this. Thanks |

It is the same as a Ford Escape so it is a decent vehicle if properly maintained |

@ Sultaans, Pls enlighten me more on fuel consumption, availability of spare parts, common problems one may encounter etc. Thank you so much. I still needs more contribution. |

Like @ Sultan said, it is more or less a Ford Escape with a Mazda badge. Never owned one buit have driven them. I know a couple of them always frequenting my mechanic's shop. All their owners are looking for buyers. * It is fuel-thirsty. I think 17miles to a gallon or worse * Overheating issues and eventual gaske/top engine issue * Local technical expertise on the vehicle is not commonplace Again, you may wait for the experts to come and make their own input, but I strongly advise you against it based on my experience. You will remember I told you. 1 Like |

ShenTeh: 17Mpg city driving is fuel thirsty? for a old big SUV? incidentally its officially quoted as 19MPG city driving and 22 highway if you are getting 17mpg City after 15 years.................. |

May I suggest you read up on the specs yourself and read real reviews by owners not hearsay. Our mechanics tend to destroy it is not a bad vehicle they sell a lot of Escapes for a reason and it is decent https://www.kbb.com/mazda/tribute/2008/ |

Sonel: It's a good SUV, parts are shared with Mercury Maverick, ford Escape. It's durable and reliable and cheap. Go for it! You have my approval. |
| Re: Advise On Mazda Tribute SUV by kingreign(m): 12:07am On Mar 16, 2019 |
ShenTeh: You owned a defective or a poorly maintained unit. Possibly a scrap yard decommissioned car which was bought, imported and sold off to you. I know quote a number of folks using them. Coincidentally, the people I know having them have owned them for very long time as daily drivers car. A shop owner at the junction to my house had had hers for over 6years she uses it to haul goods from where her suppliers warehouse are and gets them to stock her shop, an a staff of FCDA has been driving his for over 4years. |
