I am shopping for a new vehicle right now.

At the moment I'm strongly considering an '08 Mazda Tribute.  I test drove one on Saturday, and it was fine.  I'm concerned that I'm basically buying a Ford (for which I have a low opinion of their quality).  For those of you who do own Mazda's (especially the Tribute) - have you been happy with the quality?

Who manufactures the engine for the '08 Tribute?

I'd be really interested to hear from anyone who owns an '08 Tribute.

Thanks

Well I did some more looking for the '08 Mazda Tribute engines.

As far as I can tell the 2.3L engine is the Mazda 2.3 L MZR 4 (developed with the assistance of Ford).  While the 3.0L engine is made Ford 3.0 L Duratec V6 motor.

I would still like to hear thoughts/opinions from any '08 Mazda Tribute owners.
