Will never purchase a Toyota again

Sooooooo many recalls and the selling sticker on the vehicle at the time of my purchase stated KNEE AIRBAGS which is why I bought it instead of a Subaru. However 3 months of owning this matrix I get a letter stating that the air bags did not exist and that the sticker was in correct. I did not like the design at all because it has several flaws.

I Loved this car, looking for an another one

Loved this car, looking for an another one... This was such an enjoyable car to drive it was reliable practical and met all my needs. Sadly my matrix was totaled in a car accident on the freeway. It was horrifying experience but walked away without a scratch however I Matrix was totaled. Many people complain about the road noise which I never experienced mainly because of the “tires” I purchased $$$. The matrix handled exceptionally well and easily sat five people. The only con I can say about the matrix are the rear blind spots, I’ve also almost hit a pedestrian or two, you physically have to turn your head and look behind you and not use your mirrors. And I also experienced chips on the front hood of the car yes the paint job is cheap but if you keep it waxed the chips should be minimal. I am now searching to purchase another matrix just like the one I had !

Fun, sporty get up and go car!

Fun to drive, sporty handling. Taken all over western US. Handles all kinds of terrain. Great hatchback, lots of room for road trips. Camped out of it for a full week with no issues. Love it!

Perfect starter car

When I initially purchased this car, I was just looking for a more gas efficienct car than what I was previous driving. I ended up being pleasantly surprised by the convenience and performance of the car. Whether I was moving, taking my friends on a trip, or just getting groceries, the car was easy to handle, and I always had plenty of room for whatever I was doing.

Very reliable car. Runs very well and strong.

Large trunk. Good control. No engine noise. Good performance car. Solid on the ground. Turns corners well. Starts smoothly. Keyless entry. Very sporty. Very good on fuel consumption.

Another value money saver from Toyota

Reliability was our biggest concern. This didn?t disappoint.i would have liked more luxury inside, sunroof and/or leather but this car served our needs well.

Pedal to the metal

I think it's great. I put the pedal to the metal with no problem. My mechanic checked it out with 113000 miles on it, and said it still looked great

I absolutely love my car

It's perfect for me. I needed something a little bigger than my previous camry, but loved my mother's rav4 also. Something in between seemed the way to go
