Very reliable car

We never had any major issues and gave us a good mileage. As long as the services are done and maintained this car is a champ

A very good car. Perhaps more car than I need.

I am disabled and retired. This is probably more car than I need and the payments have put a serious bite into our budget. Fortunately it will soon be paid off. I have only put 16,000 miles on this car in 8 years! It has required little more than regular maintenance. I have had to replace one tire, one battery and a few wiper blades. It is very dependable and provides reliable transportation. I mostly run short errands several times a week. Plus, it is one gorgeous car!

Hard on fuel

Its OK but, but hard on fuel and now we have a leak coming from under the dash. We have had Toyota's in the past and overall they are reliable vehicles. We had the 1.8 litre matrix, which was reliable, but lacking power on the hills. this one is the 2.4 litre, and like I say very hard on fuel, but has the power.

Cheap and Practical, not fun. Great for a teenager

Extremely practical vehicle with lots of apace without being an SUV. Not exciting to drive, but it will get you there

Very dependable and reliable car

The Matrix S doesn't have the best exterior looks I think. The car is great in the snow and not bad driving up to the mountains. No blind spots when driving the car, so that's good. Great car overall.

Newest car I've ever owned

This car has very low miles and was priced well. It handles like a new car and fuel mileage is good. It is fun to drive
