2004 Toyota Matrix consumer reviews

I miss mine. Bought it about 8 years ago for my son right after college. He drove it everyday until he moved to NY about 3 years ago, then I started driving it about everyday. Only trouble was a battery dying. About 3 weeks ago he moved back and now got it. SAD!!!!!. That car has the quickest pickup and can hang with the best of them for a 4 Cylinder. Toyota should have never stop making this one. Have to give it a five out of 5. I search the used car adds looking for another one.

Excellent car. Might not be the most beautiful one or the most powerful one but a very good car to drive in city or to travel around the world. Odometer stops at 299 999km but i think mine is at 400 000km. Maintenance is really cheap and I never had a major issue with it. Really economic on gas. I'd 100% recommend it above all for it's reliability

This is the best car I have ever owned! I used to use her to drive to and from work but now that I am retired I use her for whatever I need. She holds a lot of stuff, especially for her size. The only problem I had go wrong was the clutch in the air conditioner. After a couple of years it was evident, I was not going to be getting rid of this car anytime soon so I got it fixed so I didn't have to sweat any more. That was about 12 years ago. I have done regular oil changes and filter changes. I am not saying she has had no abuse because she survived teaching a new driver and the abuse from a not so careful driver. This car is easy to park and is still super comfortable. I can't tell you how much I love her. I wish I had bought 2 of them!

My only regret is that they stopped making it. I would have bought another, if I could. I only sold it because I needed an automatic transmission.

This Car was my baby, Beautiful, Excellent conditions, everything work very well, This car is perfect to go to vacation, Beach or whenever, No scratch, No damage

I wanted this car when it first was on the market but couldn't afford it so waited until it was available used...which took forever, almost nobody sells this car. Good on gas, no mechanical issues and the flat folding seats mean you can fit tons of stuff. The vinyl back makes it easy to clean when you put your Christmas tree back there. Buy it if you can!

Having driven everything from an Edsel to a Rambler to a Nissan, my Toyota Matrix has been the best car ever. Of course it's small; but that's the way I wanted it for better gas mileage. I've owned the car since it was brand new and have loved having it in my life for all the various needs and vast changes during the last 15 years.

As a new driver, who knows much about mechanics, I LOVE this car! This is my first vehicle and it is perfectly suited for a new driver. The car turns on a dime and is easy to park, which is helpful. Although there are some rattling noises that come up when the car is being driven. Other than that, I highly recommend this car for a new driver.

Most Reliable car I ever had bought it new with all wheel drive never any major problems I would recommend it for a friend my Matrix now has 235,000 miles and is still running now I’m experiencing a oil leak and don’t know if I’m going to repair it not one inch of rust on this car and hasn’t been garage kept In Chicago

seldom have repairs and if i do they are minor...over 61k miles on it and is so trouble free is amazing...wish they still made them would get a new one in a heartbeat!
