Overview & Reviews
Toyota's compact hatchback/wagon is redesigned. The new 2009 Toyota Matrix is the same size as the old one, but a new 2.4-liter engine makes it a better performer and all-wheel drive is once again an option.
- Smooth and quiet ride, ergonomic cabin layout, adult-friendly backseat, perfectly flat load floor makes it an excellent cargo hauler.
- Mediocre gas mileage with 2.4-liter engine, tepid driving dynamics.

A Mommy Car - 2009 Toyota Matrix
By Mommy - September 12 - 5:00 amThis is a great alternative to a big SUV. It has all the room I need to haul all my baby gear and it has the built in car seat hooks. I swore Id never drive anything but a Honda. After my test drive, my mind changed. I find the seats are more comfortable and I love the hatchback- its better than a trunk.

update - 2009 Toyota Matrix
By gthumb - April 15 - 3:46 amposted a review last Nov. since then the weather has turned colder, more rattles, and the windshield sounds as though it is going to pop out. More paint has chipped off the front end, noise inside the car has increased, and the recall has added to the loss of resale value. I will never by a Toyota again.

Very impressed - 2009 Toyota Matrix
By irene - January 27 - 2:13 amDownsized from a Buick Century for economical reasons and am very pleased. The comfort & handling of the Matrix is beyond what I thought it would be. I am very satisfied with the 1.8L engine, its enough for what I need, it has enough pick-up for passing, etc. Responds very nicely, turns tight corners, easy to park. Loved the colour choices... we picked charcoal gray.

Pleasure to own/drive since day one - 2009 Toyota Matrix
By Evan - January 4 - 5:20 pmThis car has been a pleasure to own/drive since day one. Toyota did an excellent job at making an inexpensive car look and feel twice what I paid for it. Also the headrest is perfect! If you are looking for a great car thats budget friendly this one is definitely worth a look.
