BEST BUY

MORE PERFORMANCE

A Fuel-Efficient SUV "Looking for a compact crossover SUV that offers front- or all-wheel drive, and is efficient with fuel? Mazda's Tribute fits the bill."

Handles Better Than Other Sport-utilities "The Tribute is an agile and powerful little SUV. It handles better than other sport-utilities. Its sharp steering allows the driver to guide it precisely.
