My wife just brought a 05 Tribute by the house for me to look over. We looked at the Freestyle, but I am too damn old for a minivan type vehicle! I do like some of the Fstyles features, but with the Splan for registered Mazda racers I have been steeriing her in that direction. The Tribute drove nice (it is loaded out with everything) being new it felt much like my sisters Lexus small SUV. I don't know any Tribute owners so I don't have any feedback. The new body style is better looking then the one a couple of years ago. The V6 seemed pretty good coming froma Honda 4 banger in a 99 CRV (not a bad car). I think the car lists at $27K, but s plan brings it in under $22K.
Any opinions?
