What Owners are Saying About the 2003 MAZDA Tribute
"Well pleased"
"We bought our Tribute new in 2002. It has a classic body style that still looks good in 2013. The ride is excellent and comfortable. And it has amazed us at how well it will go in the snow in 4-wheel drive. We have been extremely pleased. The Tribute has been our best auto purchase EVER. When looking for newer models we always look for other Tributes, or its cousins, the Ford Escape and the Mercury Mariner. I'm somewhat disappointed We're not interested in selling. We're giving it to our son now, since we just purchased a newer model. And he knows what a bargain he has. I'm sure it'll last him another 100,000 miles, at least."
"Perfect size"
"Great vehicle. I can haul just about anything I need from my favorite Lowes, but also travel in comfort for a road trip. Overall, it's been a great vehicle."
"Not bad at all."
"There is almost nothing for me to not like about this car. The leg room is more than adequate for 6 foot 2 220 pound man like myself. The only issues that I really have this vehicle so far is the driver side door lock breaking, there is no key for the passenger side also the rear window and latch system is very difficult to operate and there is no passive alarm system stock."
