"Bought the 2006 XRS. Not super fast, but a great zippy lil car for the money. Had to upgrade the stock stereo...that was my only complaint. First car I've EVER owned that isn't "upside down" as far as worth."

"Purchased this car (2006 with 28K, XR) with the intention of my 8 year old driving it in 8 years. I haven't seen the 33 mpg that others have, and saw quite a bit of 17-20 mpg in winter. Required 5 speed, because all of our kids need to learn how to drive a stick. This one is a little clunky compared to the 2 Mazdas I own. Really a quick little car, and it holds a bunch of stuff. Just drove an 800 mile round trip in 2 days, and it was great. Great stereo, and nice having the sunroof. Wished that the AWD would come with a 5 speed available. The car is pretty light and doens't do great in the snow."

"It must have been tough to find people who were afraid to rely on their Toyota because of recalls-- I can tell you that it's been about 20 years since I've owned a Toyota and I'm really happy with this car. The design, fit, comfort, economy and the overall dependability is great! I'm very satisfied with the Matrix, and I'd recommend a Matrix to anyone looking for a well designed car that gets good fuel economy."

"Purchased used '06 matrix awd with 71k miles on it, which is no problem for a toyota. This car is very comfortable and handles nicely. Although it may lack a little power in the long run, it is quick off the line. The awd feature is nice to have, can't wait to try it in the snow. I've only had the car a little over a week, so I hope my reliability rating stand true. The sound system is enough and the sunroof is a nice little extra. I also approve of the side and curtain airbags. Overall, I am very pleased with this car so far."

"We bought a used XR with 25K miles - just took a 3000 mile road trip. No mechanical problems whatsoever. I am really impressed that everything works like it should. Stable at speed . Averaged 28-32 MPG loaded to the roof with 4 people at 80 miles an hour - AC at full blast. - An excellent little car - I would definitely buy another one."

"I just bought my 2006 used and am super happy with it. I love the style and size. I don't feel like I'm sitting low in a car but also I don't feel like I'm having to navigate a big van or SUV. I had excellent service with the dealership. Getting really good gas mileage and is very comfortable to ride in."

"I got a 06 matrix xr. Love the car! Pros - head room, flexibility with cargo space and mileage. The interior is nicely designed, but the materials are not that strong. The cargo space is the best - hauled a nice 2-seater couch and even a futon from ikea!! With the car fully loaded with 5 passengers and luggage travelled comfortably on long road trips. Nice car overall."

"Best car I have ever owned. Lots of cargo room with high gas mileage. You can't beat that. Better handling than an suv. You just cannot dislike this car. It has too many pros. I would recommend this vehicle definitely."
