2003 Mazda Tribute Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2003 Mazda Tribute seem to have mixed feelings. On the positive side, many drivers appreciate its roomy interior, decent power from the V6 engine, and its capability, especially in terms of cargo space and all-wheel drive. However, some have faced significant issues, such as engine failure shortly after purchase. Fuel economy also received mixed reviews, with some noting it consumes gas quickly."
Owned this vehicle since new. Love the acceleration and fuel economy for a AWD sport ute. Seats four comfortably and travels well for a couple and dog with gear. Towed beyond expectations - straight with good capacity. It has been a great value, but the newer models lost a little rear seat legroom.
July 26, 2012The Mazda tribute is excellent vehicle for any driver. It's big enough to fit a small family or a few of your friends for a night on the town. The 3.0L V6 gives it decent power while not hurting your wallet on fuel.
July 6, 2011Overall very pleased with my Mazda Tribute. It is basically a Ford Escape with a Mazda body and interior. I like that it is a V6 as most other smaller SUVs this size are 4 cylinders. Very peppy and handles nice also. Interior is roomy for my 6 2 frame and the back seats recline and are quite comfortable. Decent sized cargo area but not a lot of space to hide items in the vehicle out of sight. Definitely worth a look and test drive if you can find one as they are kind of rare. Definitely recommended.

August 8, 2020I love my Mazda, even though it drinks the gas! Easy for me to get in and out of! Wish I had nicer rims on it, but all in time!
June 22, 2008Horrible buy. The engine blew up on me after only having it for 2 weeks!
September 18, 2020with automatic all-wheel drive, the only way to get stuck is to high-center (did in the sand at the beach, but a little digging and was free). Also with the anti-lock brakes, stopping is maxed out in efficiency. the only scary time was climbing a steep snowy hill, when all 4 wheels are spinning, it's up to chance.
October 27, 2012only a 4 cyl and 5 spd but great cause its an suv so has lots of room to load her up.
