This is my second Tribute, my first was a 2001. They sure have improved the gas mileage and I always get 20 mpg which I think is great for an SUV. This is such a reasonably priced vehicle with such great standard equipment such as the 6 CD changer, sunroof, abs, all power and more. I so highly recommend this SUV.

THIS IS MY SECOND TRIBUTE AND MY HUSBAND JUST TRADED IN HIS DODGE DAKOTA AND BOUGHT HIS FIRST TRIBUTE. ALL THREE FROM JOHN HINE PONTIAC IN SAN DIEGO. WE ARE 100% SATISFIED IN PERFORMANCE AND DESIGN.

I purchased the 2005 Tribute with every option except the DVD and running boards. I am 240 pounds and my husband is 6'4". Both of us fit well as other compacts were too small, doggy and had poor visibility for me (5'3"). The V8 is powerful -- quick off the start and ZOOMS around vehicles on the highway. The cargo door opens 2 ways unlike other SUVs. As with any compact, not a lot of leg room in the back seat. Mileage: town 18 highway 23. It will improve after it's driven more. Heated seats and mirrors are awesome, power adjustable seats are a snap to use, leather is high quality, paint job and appearance is second to none. You get the bang for your buck! Audio system rocks even for old folks.

Still love it after 6 months. If you want a small suv with the combination of room and fuel economy, this puppy is it! No problems, Mazda dealer has been great on the minor issues. I recommend the Tribute.
