Practical, fun car

Date of Review:  Apr 13, 2003
The Bottom Line: Buy it! It's a great car that turns heads and amazingly practical.
Review: We bought the Matrix 3 months ago and have been very happy with it. It gets about 34 mpg and hauls our family of four in comfort with all out luggage. It actually has more luggage room than the Honda Accord we traded in. The car is incredibly...

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...

Date of Review:  Apr 4, 2002
The Bottom Line: Standard options, power, styling...there's no better bang for your buck.

Still loving it after 2.5 years

Date of Review:  Nov 8, 2005
The Bottom Line: After 4 years, I have no regrets. I loved it as a young couple with dogs, and I love it as a mom with two small children.
Review: I knew I wanted a "compact wagon" when I went to look at the Matrix. I just hoped it was going to live up to the hype. I knew it was not a performance vehicle (as advertised) unless I upgraded to XRS, but I wanted an automatic this time. The gas...

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...

I Loves Me Matrix

Date of Review:  Nov 29, 2002
The Bottom Line: Highly reccomended, excellent vehicle for singles or families, great fuel economy, and styling that makes it fun to drive.
Review: I took delivery of my Matrix FWD Base Model (With Package B) yesterday, and let me tell you, it's amazing I'm even able to sit in my chair and write this review. Little toyota touches make this vehicle a real winner. From the little storage pockets...

Toyota does it again... but better!

Date of Review:  Oct 24, 2003
The Bottom Line: Buy it today. The best value vehicle in its class. A blast to drive.
Review: Wow! I had my first experience with a Matrix a year ago when our friends bought one. They are very "green" and loved the ultra low emission certificate as well as Toyota's rep for reliability. I loved the way it looked and drove.

This year...
