Summary
Mazda's new Tribute is more sophisticated than the Isuzu Rodeo, Mitsubishi Montero Sport, Nissan Xterra and Suzuki Vitara. It delivers more power than the Toyota RAV4 and other small SUVs with four-cylinder engines. And it costs considerably less than a similarly equipped Xterra. It's a joy to drive and is at the top of its class.
