2008 Mazda Tribute accessory review
The 2008 Mazda Tribute is a small sports utility vehicle available in two versions, I and S. both versions are available in three models each, Sport, Touring and Grand Touring. The Tribute can be powered from either of these two engines, a 2.3 Liter engine having four cylinders and is rated at 153 Horsepower or a 3.0 Liter V6 engine rated at 200 Horsepower. With either engine you get a four speed automatic transmission, though with the front wheel drive I model one gets a five speed manual transmission. Both models can be bought with an all wheel drive, though if one is not driving on rough roads, the vehicle equipped with the front wheel drive is enough. The Tribute equipped with the V6 engine can tow 3,500 pounds.
The 2008 Mazda Tribute Sport model is equipped with 16 inch tires, air conditioning, accessories that are powered, a cruise control system and a CD player. The 2008 Mazda Tribute Touring model has tinted windows at the back, a powered seat for the driver and a roof rack. The Tribute Grand Touring models is equipped with exterior mirrors that are heated, headlights that are automatic, a sun roof, front seats that have heaters and a music system with a CD player. The Tribute is equipped with side air bags in the front, curtain air bags that run the entire length of the vehicle and anti lock brakes.
The 2008 Mazda Tribute scored three stars out of five in tests carried out by NHTSA, for protection of the driver in case of a head on collision earned an unusually low score, just three out of five stars, for driver protection in head-on collisions. In the same tests carried out for Front passenger protection, the Tribute earned five stars, in case of a side collision. The cabin of The Tribute is easy to enter and the climate control and music control buttons are easy to see and use. Its front seats are well cushioned and comfortable but the back seat is without adjustments that make it a bit problematic for adults to use on long journeys. Its external size is almost the same as that of the Jeep Liberty and Honda CR-V and it is long then the Rav4 and as wide as a Ford Explorer.
