We round up the whole segment and give you the low-down on all the biggest brands' petite SUVs.
Mazda Tribute
The Tribute is kind of the black sheep in its zoom-zoom family. Slotted
just below the more athletic CX-7, the Ford Escape-based Tribute
features the Escape's engines, but misses out on key features such as
SYNC, and its higher quality interior. 2010 adds an ambient temperature
gauge on all trim levels and the Grand Touring trim is now equipped
with a built-in garage door opener and back-up camera integrated in the
rear-view mirror.
