"I had this car handed down to me from my mom, she got it when it had around 75k miles on it. I got it when it had 208k miles on it. It not has 231k miles on it and is still kicking. Neither of us have had to do more than replace tires and oil changes, and she replaced the starter and the battery at around 200k miles! Thats it! Neither of us are very good at babying our cars so if there is one thing I can say about this car is that it is built to last. Seriously, I am so impressed with how well my Matrix still drives. I do believe that now at 231k miles its starting to go downhill quickly and although it has yet to break down on me I am a little nervous about driving it. The engine rattles now and it appears to be starting to have electrical problems. All in all though I highly recommend this car to someone who isn't super picky about the look of their car and is on a budget. You can't beat a Matrix."

"I have a Toyota Matrix 2007 with 12,000 miles on it, I drive it on average about 20 miles a week, I took it to the dealer for an oil change and it turned into a nightmare, the oil pan is leaking and there is also a leak at the timing belt area. Cost: $670.00 I asked how is it possible that a car with 12,000 miles on it, that is well taken care of can have this kind of problems, answer, you are not driving it often enough. Unbelievable. Never buying a toyota again."

"Just bought a used 2007 Toyota Matirx XR and I love it. I have worked for Toyota dealerships in the past and have always loved the Matrix. Was looking at a Vibe also, the Matrix was more expensive but well worth the money. It holds its value better because it is a Toyota. Even though the cars are the same vehicle with slight styling differences, the Toyota name holds more value. I love the ride and comfort of the vehicle. I hear some talk about noise, that is a simple fix...undercoat and rust proof the car. That will cut down on the noise excessively. I have no issues with noise whatsoever. The fuel economy is excellent. I travel 95% highway to and from work five days a week and a tank will last me almost three weeks. I don't have a long commute, however going from a 1995 Honda Accord EX to this is night and day. Going an extra week and saving $15 per fill up is wonderful. It has cut my fuel costs down to about $40 a month. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone that wants comfort, fuel economy, style and value."

"This is why I traded my 2007 Toyota Matrix. Although the look of the car is very nice, road noise and poor gas mileage made want another car. I also had a bearing problem every 10,000 miles or so. Glad to own a new car."

"This is the most uncomfortable car I have ever owned.. also the noiseiest car i have ever owned. you hear all the road noise.. poor insulation.. i took it to the dealer and the could not find anything wrong. sounded like you had a window slightly open or a leak around the door. on the positive side you get good gas mileage.. computer had to be replaced under warranty period. so no problem. price is ok but not fantastic would not buy again."

"I started out looking for SUV's, but econimically-this is the one for me. I'm about recycling, saving energy and so an suv size wise I was looking at, but talked to a friend who has owned her Matrix for a few years and she loves it and so I started doing research on them and found out that was for me. I get 35-37 mpg with my XR, front wheel drive and my collie fits in the back-what more could a girl want!!!"
