2012 Toyota Matrix consumer reviews

This car has great gas mileage, comfortable for long drives and is wonderful to carry long items by folding down the seats and is large enough to pack a lot of groceries etc.

This car is very reliable with no problem for years. It is basically a corola with extra trunk space. I owned the sports version and it is very responsive.

This car is easy to handle and is very reliable. Although compact, I fit my grandchildren very comfortably.

except I was disappointed because I could not see the hood which I use to judge distance to a car or curb.

Wanted a car easy to drive, sits up a bit higher, white, 4door. No complicated cockpit, reliable.. Son said to check out Matrix, so I went and got one. Dealership most helpful. I am an Ol' lady (83) and do not shop or fool around. ( well, you know what I mean) so I am happy, though it does not ride like a Rolls. I did not pay for a Rolls, either. JR

I have entertained the thought of buying a matrix every since my daughter rented one for a short road trip over five years ago. I was impressed with the handling and feel of the car ( hers was the base model). I purchased the S model 2010 certified used six months ago. I am a teacher full time and I am also a artisan/crafter, doing arts and crafts shows six months out of the year. The cargo space in this car is incredible, holds all my teaching supplies as well my crafting inventory when I do my shows. This car is eye catching. people give me compliments on the styling all the time.I have taken my car on the freeway for up to 5 hour road trips it purrrrrrs and handles well (very good on gas mileage). This is the second toyota That I have purchased, previously owned a solara camry that I loved. This car has captured my loyalty as well. I am 55 years old but this car has a light , airy, carefree feel that makes me feel 25 again.
