Review and specifications

2008 Mazda Tribute

Electronic stability control became standard for 2008, rectifying the tip-up problem noted in the 2005 ' 2007 models. The Tribute's sensible size, roomy interior and good visibility remain intact. However, though it was improved with the 2008 freshening, the interior is still somewhat subpar. Fit and finish issues include uneven gaps and exposed screws. Model year 2011 was the last for the Tribute.

Brand context

About Mazda

<p>Over time, Mazdas are known to be affordable, fun to drive, and good-looking inside and out. Many of its small crossovers, SUVs, and sedans have earned Consumer Reports' recommendations and above-average reliability ratings. However, its new midsized SUVs have not lived up to the brand’s reliability reputation. Used Mazdas are usually a good option for an inexpensive pre-owned car. Most Mazdas achieve solid, but not exceptional fuel economy. Though sports cars are less popular now than decades prior, Mazda still sells the MX-5 Miata, one of the best of the few remaining enthusiast cars.</p><p><br/></p>
