  Gets the job done - 2003 Toyota Matrix
  By Beth - May 21 - 7:10 pm

  I just had my car break down on me, the dealership had it for a week because they couldnt figure out the problem. IT was the VVTI sensor and the oil pan sensor. I was pretty upset considering my car only has 17,000 miles on it. The gas mileage is definitely not right. All in all I have been pretty happy with this car. I love the way it drives.

  A Good Overall Car - 2003 Toyota Matrix
  By Mr. B - May 21 - 10:00 am

  The Toyota Matrix is a very well thought out vehicle. The electronics and comfort controls inside the vehicle are easy to use and at easy reachand see. The exteior styling is unique and resembles nothing else forged by Toyota. This car is fun to drive and has given me no real problems. The only downside to the vehicle is that it does not perform extremely well in accidents. I was involved in an accident at less than 25 miles an hour and the car did not respond as it should have. All things considered, this is a great car for any driver who likes to have fun with a little dash of function. Also I would recomend getting the XRS model if at all possible.

  Love my Matrix! - 2003 Toyota Matrix
  By Kath - May 9 - 4:10 am

  I bought my 2002/2003 Matrix used with 50,000 miles on it..its still tight and silent. I love the 5 speed (though it does stuggle up the nearby mountain highway.) Lots of room for handbells and gear, as well as a roomy back seat...far bigger than any of the bigger SUVs I looked at (even the Mercedes C- Class and Honda CRV.) The dealer put the same tires on it that he puts on his BMWs so the car hugs the road and handles very well. I removed the back seat head rests since they block my view, but will replace them if I have back seat passengers. The cargo net is in good shape but its use is a mystery. Very heavy duty jumper cables were included...yea, Toyota!

  You must judge this car from the inside - 2003 Toyota Matrix
  By MyNameIsNeo - May 4 - 7:26 am

  Function. The Matrix is superior in every aspect of why you want an affordable 5 door hatchback. Cargo, comfort, driving pleasure wrapped under $17k. Comfort. It simply has the best interior passenger ergonomics in this, or perhaps any, class. Cargo? Perhaps the coolest thing about the car- flat bedliner flooring with tie downs and under flooring cubby holes. Fun. Forget the horsepower numbers. It wont snap you kneck, but it will crack your smile.

  Outstanding car, some annoying features - 2003 Toyota Matrix
  By Eric_ - April 9 - 10:00 am

  Overall the XRS is outstanding for its price range. Handling is superb. Power isnt there till about 6000rpm+, but so what. It makes for excellent fuel economy most of the time, and more than enough power when you need it. Tonnes of room inside. The XRS has superb braking, comparable and often better than much more expensive sports coupes.

  Matrix - 2003 Toyota Matrix
  By Paula Muse - April 3 - 10:00 am

  I love this car! Maybe I enjoy it so much since I had a van previously. The 6 speed is high revving with enough pickup. My 16 Year old son and his friends think its awesome. My only complaint is driving in the snow. I will replace the low performance tires with snow tires this winter to see if that helps.
