Among the sportiest of the compact SUVs.

Introduction

It's a well-worn cliche, but the Mazda Tribute puts some sport in sport utility. Responsive handling and brisk performance from the available V6 engine make the Tribute one of the sportiest of the compact SUVs.

The 2005 model line was recast to complement the rest of the Mazda lineup, and little has changed with the 2006 model. The Tribute i model is available with a four-cylinder engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic, while the Tribute s features a powerful V6 and four-speed automatic. Both models are available with a four-wheel-drive system that uses electronics in place of a previous hydraulic system to better split power between front and rear tires according to driving conditions.

The Tribute received a more polished look for 2005 and it continues without alteration, as its redesigned front fascia and other styling revisions already added zest to what was one of the better looking contenders in the class. The suspension had also been revised for improved handling. Available side-impact airbags and curtain airbags enhance safety.

The Mazda Tribute delivers an excellent value for drivers who want the versatility of a sport utility, but with the superior refinement and on-road handling of a car-based utility can offer. Mazda and Ford worked jointly on developing the Mazda Tribute and Ford Escape and they share much in common, but the Mazda offers sportier handling.
