What are the selling points of a Mazda Tribute?
The Mazda Tribute’s key selling points on its February 2001 release included extra prestige and reduced depreciation over its equally competent Ford Escape twin and the choice of a four-cylinder engine. In 2006, both of these unique selling points have been pared back as the Tribute and Escape merge into one vehicle in approach, if not detail.
How many tributes are sold in a month?
Not surprisingly, Mazda predicts a conservative 250 Tribute sales a month with the V6 accounting for 60 per cent, Luxury Pack about 30 per cent and the four-cylinder accounting for a tiny 10 per cent — a far cry from 2001’s boom Tribute sales. So what has changed? This market segment has become one of the most fiercely contested.
Which is better Subaru Forester or Mazda Tribute?
The Subaru Forester, a vehicle that sits much lower and is generally more car like in finish, refinement and high speed handling has benefited enormously from constant updates and a major model change since the Tribute was first launched.
Which is better Mazda Tribute or Ford CX-7?
Mazda acknowledged that resources allocated to the CX-7 placed limits on the Tribute facelift. Despite Mazda’s claim at the 2001 launch that the Tribute’s tighter suspension and steering tuning was more “zoom, zoom” than Ford’s comfort settings, most owners were hard-pressed to tell the difference. The same applies to the latest upgrade.
