Got a Mazda Tribute
Bought a 2005 Mazda Tribute yesterday to replace my wife's 1994 Honda Passport. Went for the Silver (200hp) V6 (just like my TSX - only my TSX is a 4 cyl of course). Not looking forward to two car payments, but I couldn't pass up the deal. Wish I could have got an Acura, but the MDX was too much $$ for my wallet. I hope the Mazda doesn't let me down...Anyone have one?

Personally, I would have gone with the CR-V. Same price range, Honda quality...
But, good luck!

So hondaboy - did you check out the CRV? Altough I have to admit the Tribute looks way better externally ... but that's where it ends.

I've got an 2002 Mazda Tribute. It's been relatively trouble free, but watch out for Mazda service. I swear they seem to break more things than they fix. My main problem has been an airbag light that will not shut off. I've brought it in atleast 5 times, everytime they shut it off but it always comes back. I'm almost certain it has to do with the passenger side airbag, but the dealer doesn't seem to think so; the light only comes on the passenger seat is slide back/forth.
Make sure you check out www.escape-central.com
BTW the Tribute will lose to a 6spd TSX.
