I have not made the first car payment and my new Mazda is already in the repair shop. The car stalled on me as I was existing the freeway. So far, the mechanic cannot reproduce the problem. However, considering what I am reading on this website, it's no wonder Mazda has not gotten sued yet from someone getting killed due to this problem.

My wife and I test drove several SUV's - Liberty, Xterra, Escape, Santa Fe, Vue, Montero Sport. We felt the Tribute was easily the best overall. It's roomy, has plenty of power, comfortable ride for an SUV, reasonably quite on the road, and looks great. Gas mileage is descent for a 200 HP V6. Been averaqing 18-19 in city driving so far in just 1500 miles. Like everyone else, our only complaint is that gear shifter partially blocks volume on radio when in drive. However, I've already found myself reaching around it without thinking about it. This vehicle really is fun to drive. I can tell a lot of people take a good look at it on the road.

Looked at all the similar sized models of mini suvs. This came out on top by far. Lot's of standard creature comforts. Lots of interior space and storage cubbies and pockets. Has a much bigger feel than it is. I got this one completely loaded...no option left unturned and it was still a reasonable price considering.
So far, so good....

I was most impressed with the styling. I am a little concerned about the 'spongy' brake pedal. The cigarette lighter doesn't work and the fuel door is problematic. The premium sound system breaks up a little when 'pushed'. The stalling problem?... While coasting into a drive, the car began to 'buck' and would not move forward. Worried, I checked the gear selector and discovered that I had inadvertantly put the car into reverse. I simply placed the car back into drive and it's been fine ever since. I've gottten about 25.4 MPG (not bad at all). This car is so much fun to drive, I'll make any excuse to run to the store or just simply, to take a ride.
