Mazda Tribute Reliability

Want to more clearly know what the difference in reliability will be if you buy a Mazda Tribute rather than another vehicle? Concerned about your chances of getting a lemon?

TrueDelta provides this information in the form of "times in the shop" stats that make the actual repair rates clear and, in the future, "lemon-odds."

The latest Car Reliability Survey (CRS) results include Mazda Tribute reliability information based on owner experiences through September 30, 2009:

We also have some new reliability stats for the Mazda Tribute. "Nada-odds" reports the percentage that required no repairs at all, not even a minor one--nada--in the past year, while "Lemon-odds" reports the percentage that required three (or more) repair trips.

Nada-odds     cars per 100 with no repairs (nada) in the past year; 100 is ideal
Lemon-odds     cars per 100 with 3+ repair trips in the past year; 0 is ideal

Mazda Tribute Repair Histories

To supplement our Car Reliability Survey, TrueDelta collects Mazda Tribute repair histories, a list of all the repairs that have been performed on a vehicle. With these, no minimum sample is required and owners can report repairs that occurred before joining.

Individual responses to both the Car Reliability Survey and the Car Repair History Survey are posted here:

Mazda Tribute Extended Warranty

Concerned about the Mazda Tribute's reliability? Considering an extended warranty? Warranty Direct is a 26-year-old company with nearly 2 million contracts sold and over $500 million in paid claims.

Like insurance, extended warranties are best bought to limit downside risk, and from a company that is almost certain to remain in business. While for most people extended warranties will not pay off, for some they will pay for themselves many times over.

If you are unsure about the Mazda Tribute's reliability, or simply want the peace of mind afforded by an extended warranty, you can click here to purchase one from Warranty Direct.

Mazda Tribute Gas Mileage

Everyone knows that government estimates often aren't indicative of the Mazda Tribute's gas mileage in the real-world.

In response, TrueDelta began collecting gas mileage data from owners of the Mazda Tribute, with the intent of providing real-world gas mileage estimates customized to how and where you drive.

Mazda Tribute Tire Reviews

The Tire Rack offers the Internet's most extensive collection of Mazda Tribute tire reviews, tire survey results, and tire tests. To see which tires are available for the Mazda Tribute--or for your car--and go from there to Tire Rack's comprehensive information, use the tool in the sidebar.

The Tire Rack can be especially useful as a source of winter tires, which I have strongly recommended ever since buying a set for my car. If you're unhappy with your car's handling and braking on snow and ice, you probably just need proper winter tires, not a new car.
