    After driving our Tribute 2.3 for a month or so, I find the engine good enough for my driving style. Overtaking on highways is not bad ... fuel consumption is around 7km/li and with hiways around 9-9.5km/li (w/o trying to conserve fuel). This is acceptable.

    However, my only comment is when you press down the accelarator to go faster, the car seems to hold back first before downshifting then accelarates. My expeience with other AT cars is direct downshift and the engine will roar. Is this normal or is it my driving?

    Can't say much about the downshifting, as I've got limited driving miles on our V6 Tribby. But all I can say is that it goes, when you want it, at least for the few times I tried it.

    And that consumption is good for a 2.3L.

    that is also my dilemna. they even sweeten the pie ...

    price for the 2.3L is 999K.

    same scenario happened with Ford when they sropped the price of the escape to 999K. 3 months after, they new escape came out.

    wouldnt know if the same will happen to Mazda though
