Does it drive as funky as it looks?

Date of Review:  Nov 2, 2002
The Bottom Line: Despite some of the Matrix's quirks, the Matrix XRS offers a good deal of bang for the buck.
Review: Based on the all new 2003 Toyota Corolla's platform, Toyota has has introduced an all new vehicle for the 2003 model year; titled 'Matrix' (like the movie). The Matrix, in a way, is like the PT Cruiser and other sport utility wagons in the sense...

It's hard not to like this car.

Date of Review:  Mar 10, 2002
The Bottom Line: This car is marketed to people like me, and they certainly got it right. It appeals in so many ways. The faults are minor enough they're almost not worth mentioning.
Review: I just bought this car two days ago. I've been driving it all weekend, and I must say I'm impressed. The model I bought was the XR, with a lot of the extra options like sunroof, different wheels, security system, 4-wheel drive, etc. (Which accounts...

It's a Station Wagon, I think

Date of Review:  Feb 23, 2002
The Bottom Line: A well thought out package with a lot of positive attributes, but its negatives are too high for a recommendation.
Review: In our quest (my wife and mine) for a new minivan, we've begun shying away from the big people movers. We began thinking of all the people we could tote around (friends, grandparents) and realized we don't want to buy a vehicle for a few occasions...

More fun than a bag full of cats!

Date of Review:  Mar 4, 2007
The Bottom Line: A great, affordable family vehicle that boasts good fuel economy and cargo space.
Review: After several years of valued service, my 1998 Ford ZX2 bit the dust. Yes, it was a sad day indeed -- that car lasted for over 120,000 miles of hard driving and it had been paid off for over five years. Yes, the Escort was too small and had all the...

My XR test drive experience

Date of Review:  Feb 23, 2002
The Bottom Line: I definitely think the Matrix XR 5-speed is worth looking at if you need space and like an affordable, sporty car.
Review: I won't bother repeating the Matrix's specs. Instead, here's my impression of the car:

I test drove a Matrix XR 5-speed today, after having recently tried the new Rav 4. I was looking for a 5-seater, fun, reliable, good sized car to...

Excellent Commuting and Toddler Vehicle

Date of Review:  Mar 6, 2002
The Bottom Line: Though aimed at the youthful market, this vehicle is practical for other stages of life as well.
Review: Toddler Friendly Features

While aimed at the youth market, this vehicle is great for carting around my toddler son. My wife says lifting him to and from the childseat is much easier on her back with this vehicle than with our more...

Hot hatch reinvented, or tall econobox in fancy clothes?

Date of Review:  Sep 12, 2002
The Bottom Line: A practical package let down by a cheap, poorly styled interior and overburdened chassis.
Review: About five years ago auto manufacturers began to realize that consumers' sets of needs did not always match up with existing product categories. What if someone wanted to image and handling of a sports car, but the carrying capacity of an SUV? Or...

Matrix fills the niche

Date of Review:  Apr 9, 2002
The Bottom Line: If this vehicle fits in your niche, or if you are looking for a sports car, wagon, van, or SUV, test drive a Matrix XRS.
Review: The Concept

The Matrix is a wonderful blend of an SUV, family wagon, and sports car. I was looking at everything from a RAV4 to an Altima. I couldn?t find something that would seat five and be utilitarian, fast and cool at the same time...

Toyota's Done it Again!

Date of Review:  Feb 27, 2002
The Bottom Line: Great Price, versatility and function. I highly recommend driving this vehicle if you are in the market for a smaller SUV, but get the XRS model for sure =)
Review: UPDATE August 2002.

Have found a few problems including bubbling tape on the outside windows and a dealership who is being "nobbish". The salesperson indicated I was stupid for putting a club on the vehicle because it had the best alarm...

Swing and a miss

Date of Review:  Jun 3, 2009
The Bottom Line: Avoid the 2003 model year, and be cautious about the Matrix in general.  Hopefully Toyota has worked out a lot of the bugs by now.
Review: I purchased a used 2003 Toyota Matrix back in April of 2003 from a local Toyota dealer's used car lot.  At the time, it had roughly 11,000 miles on it.  The previous owner had (accidentally, I assume) left his insurance information in the glove...
