Best car ever!!!!

I bought my 2005 matrix 5 speed new. We actually started with a 2003 matrix traded it for a rav 4 then went back and purchased the 2005. Bessie is her name i drive her about 90 miles or so Monday thru Thursday. She has been the best car. We've kept her maintained but she has almost 360k miles now. We just replaced her clutch for the first time. We've had to replace small maintenance items like tires, battery lights etc. She has been so faithful! I LOVE my matrix!
It was an absolute pleasure working with Juan Alvarado and Tom Rivers. They listened to what I wanted, worked with me to find a good price, match a good rate I had with my credit union, and offer what seemed like genuine advice on how I should proceed.
I ended up not making the purchase from them purely because I was offered a once-in-a-lifetime too-good-to-be-true deal elsewhere, but honestly the deal I got was so great that 99% of the time you can expect NOT to get something like I did. I've been looking at cars and dealerships within 300 miles of me, tracking over 60 cars, and speaking to over 30 actual dealers. I had it down to two dealerships: Hudson Toyota & the dealership I bought from. I think that's a real testament to how great my experience with Juan was.
I will definitely be returning there the next time I plan to make a purchase. It really feels like an honest environment where they just want to sell you a good car. I'll be referring all of my family and friends to Hudson Toyota to speak with Juan about a car purchase. That's how much I enjoyed the experience. 5 out of 5.
2009 Toyota Matrix S Review
Love this car!

This car is perfect for college students or new drivers. Super easy to drive. Yet still fits people in back seats! Able to fill tank with $30-35$. Nice trunk
Wicked reliable car. I have owned two and they are the most durable cars money can buy. She’s low on power, no frills on the interior, but she’s a functional rig, not a pretty one. She’ll take a beating on the rough off road trails and gets through fine with FWD. First matrix had near 1,000,000KM (600,000Mi) and still went like hell. If you’re looking for a car that could potentially last you a lifetime, look no further.
Buying a new car at Planet Honda of Union, New Jersey

I just purchased a new 2015 Honda Civic at Planet Honda of Union, New Jersey. I'm from Monmouth county and originally went to local dealerships in my area. I scoured Route #9 endlessly, from Honda dealership to Honda dealership only to end up constantly haggling over prices, and finance options. The dealerships in Monmouth county quoted me payments from $420 - $550 a month. Thankfully, Planet Honda has a reputation that precedes them. The service, salesmanship, demeanor, financing, and the all around, "Let's do the best that we can do to make the customer the priority attitude." I have never had such a heartwarming and just all-around great experience purchasing my new Honda Civic. Oh...and I should also add, that I got the exact same model, brand new car, with the same down payment that the other dealerships quoted me for only $260 a month. This was a purchase... not a lease - and I sure you this is a true story. Thank you Joe Krynski, Sales Manager, for all you did to make this happen. Thank you also to Tony Ruiz, Car Sales Associate and U.S. Veteran, for all you guys did to make this happen. Woo Woo!! Gotta' go now. Think I'll take a ride over to those car dealerships on Route #9 and show off my new wheels. Sincerely, Dominic Dinere
2009 Toyota Matrix Base Review

So comfortable to drive. Stealing wheel was smooth and easier to turn. Very nice and Affordable car. I will recommend anyone to buy this car because it’s really comfortable and the chairs are soft.
Needed a car for work and for bad weather and this car meets all my needs. Drives great handles well even in bad weather. Plenty of room. Get great gas mileage. Would definitely recommend to other people
Got this car last spring and loved it! Great on gas and hoped it would last me for a long time. It had 230,000 km on it and then all of a sudden the tranny went on it. Mine is a manual transmission and I thought it was the clutch at first. So I traded it in for a Nissan Altima, which was a nightmare. I wanted my baby back so bad. So a few months later, I saw the guy I traded it in to had it up for sale for more than I paid for it! I messaged him and told him I wanted to trade back. He did, thankfully and I couldn't be more happy to be reunited with the little car! Fun little car to drive. I had no other problem ever other than the tranny, which I hear is common for that year. Hope I have no more problems with the tranny though.
Bought it with 105k miles, downsizing to a small wagon from a midsize sedan. After 2+ months, no problems. A very good commuter car. Sits higher than the typical Corolla (which it's based on), and has good headroom. That's very comfy for a taller driver. Didn't realize it was an AWD model until emissions inspection. I'll see how I appreciate when we get more snow.
I'm used to a 3.5L V6, so accelerationn is fair at best, but other than some on-ramps, it's adequate. Hatch /trunk is smaller than I like, but it's a small car and the ability to fold down rear and passenger seats is great for fitting 2x4s and the like. Not a fan of high shoulders at windows, and I like the look of its GM cousin (Pontiac Vibe) better. Pet peeve: The cupholder console area seems poorly designed. It sits too far back for easy reach from front seats.
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
Hugo our salesman and manager was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He spent a lot of time with us trying to find us a SUV that met
our specifications. Unfortunately we were $500 apart which was a shame because we were ready to buy the car right there. Surprised they let us walk but would still recommend Hugo.
2010 Toyota Matrix S Review
Most reliable car until 120k

Bought this car with 5k (dealership demo car) for utility after trading SUV. Can fit two bikes inside with seats folded down and 3-4 kayaks on top. Have the AWD S. This car was always reliable. Fast and fun to drive but soooo much road noise. Cannot drive this car with back windows down, car vibrates horribly. Have tried 3-4 different sets of tires to help ride and road noise-Goodyear Eagles, Michelin A/S, general and Touring. Sport suspension too stiff, extremely rough ride but corners on a dime. I find the seats very comfortable for long drives. Car can go anywhere with AWD. I have had this car for almost 8 years but would not buy another one. It has served me well and dependable, always starting and never broke down until recently. Car maintained always and oil changes EVERY 3k miles, brakes, etc. But at 120k car went to pieces-torque converter, issues with transmission, tie rods, leaking differential, steering, multiple sets of brakes, axle issues. Engine still runs perfectly but the rest of it failing. Not sure if issues are related to AWD S model but it is disappointing. Thought Toyota would last longer esp with religious maintenance. Transmission places saying same transmission issues as Rav4. People say these are bullet proof and should go to 200k. Not mine. Time to say goodbye.
