What Car? says
For The Tribute offers a reasonable blend of practicality and equipment
Against There's no diesel, it's not great off-road and refinement could be better
Verdict
It's better on-road than off, but it's not particularly impressive anywhere
Go for… 2.0 GSi 4WD
Avoid… 3.0 V6 auto 4WD
- 1. There's plenty of space in the cabin, and the Tribute makes a decent family car
- 2. Fuel economy's not great: a 4WD Tribute does 29mpg, but the RAV4 does 3mpg more
- 3. Despite the car’s off-road image, it’s more at home on the road, although it’s not that great there
- 4. With 60/40 split/folding rear seats, the Tribute's already good boot can be made bigger still
- 5. The cabin is bland and unappealing, but there are no complaints about how it's laid out
