    Very good gas mileage. Very cheap to maintain. Can fit a surprising amount of things into the spacious "trunk". It is essentially a Corolla with a hatchback.

    A great car for its price range. I have an RX300 and this car can haul just as much stuff but get twice the gas mileage. The car handles very well and the braking is excellent. Hit 6200 RPM and you get a boost of power that i call "LIFT" which is very addicting. I am an active person and i find this car very versitile. The split 60/40 rear seat feature is nice. I can carry my mountain bike or snowboards in the car with no problem. Add a cold-air intake, lowering springs, front strut brace and rear sway bar and youll have alot more fun than its stock form. I love this car.

    This car rocks!!! I purchased it about 6 months ago and I could not be happier. It is a well balanced vehicle and has both performance and practicality.

    WAITED 2 MONTHS TO GET A COSMIC BLUE XRS IN HAWAII. HAVE HAD IT 1 WEEK AND JUST LOVE IT. LOOKED AT CAMRY, MAXIMA AND FELL IN LOVE WITH MATRIX AS SOON AS WE SAW IT. WE ARE NOT WHO THIS CAR IS "AIMED" AT (YOUNG ADULTS)BUT IT IS PERFECT FOR US! SPORTY STYLE, LOTS OF ROOM FOR OUR OVER 6FT. TALL FAMILY MEMBERS AND LOTS OF PEP. THIS CAR IS WORTH EVERY PENNY AND WORTH THE WAIT. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT WE COULD HAVE FOUND THE RIDE,PERFORMANCE AND ROOM IN SUCH A NICE LOOKING CAR.

  • Fun and Functional - 2003 Toyota Matrix
    By -

    I have had my matrix now for little over a month and I love driving it. Yes the pick up could be better and the engine more powerful but it gets me where I wanna be. Its fun to drive, super comfy and great on gas mileage and when you drive nearly 500 miles a week like me thats the best part.

  • Great Car All Around - 2003 Toyota Matrix
    By -

    Roomy interior, excellent cargo space, and surprising standard features such as a CD player and outside temperature gauge. I have the manual transmission, and shifting is super smooth. Quiet ride, no rattles. I bought it because the Corolla engine has consistently achieved high reliability ratings over a long period of time, but the car is also just plain fun to drive.

  • Underpowered but a great car - 2003 Toyota Matrix
    By -

    The car handles well and looks cool. It can carry things and is moderatly fun to drive as long as you know that you own a mix between the two cars that are thought of as underpowered. Station wagons, and hatch backs. It does have AWD and that was one of the main selling point of the car for me.

  • Steves Matrix - 2003 Toyota Matrix
    By -

    Excellent, no compaints. Matrix runs great and also gets great gas mileage. I am averageing close to 40 mpg on trips. Lots of room in the back with seat down. I have used it for sleeping on several trips and found it very comfortable. The AC outlet has been very helpful for things like, charging phone, recharging camera batteries and playing cd player or video games. I have had it for over 3 years now and am very satisfied!!!!
