  Love My Matrix - 2004 Toyota Matrix
  By JLD - FMFL - September 22 - 2:00 am

  I love my Matrix. I bought it in 5/02 when it was first available. It is very versatile and offers so much room for carrying large items. And it is very peppy! I have the XRS 6-speed manual. My only complaints: AC vents are either on you (too cold) or away from you (not cold enough), shifting is a little awkward, and there seem to be more blind spots than in other wagons.

  What Ive Been Waiting For - 2004 Toyota Matrix
  By indylynn - September 16 - 2:00 am

  Sporty, economical, practical and dependable. I was looking for all of this for years in an affordable vehicle. I finally found it in the Matrix. Did I mention sporty? Apparently Im not the only person to believe this. Having bought the Matrix in 2002 when they first arrived here in Indiana, I quickly found that the local law enforcement members thought it might be something special........was followed often even when adhering to speed limits!

  Matrix Loaded - 2004 Toyota Matrix
  By Matrix Loaded - August 17 - 10:00 am

  Excellent car for the money. I did a lot of research before my purchase. I bought the XRS version with all options except the navigation system. The car is fun to drive yet offers loads of interior space. Seats are comfortable.

  My first new car! Great buy! - 2004 Toyota Matrix
  By Riley - August 4 - 2:00 am

  I never heard about the Matrix until one day I saw one in the parking lot. The exterior really caught my eye, so much so, that I had to walk over and check it out. Ive been wanting a new car for the longest time, and Im so glad that I picked this car. Not only is it gorgeous on the outside, but I love the interior w/ the chrome detailing. Its so sporty. The stereos great, LOVE the heater, the Matrix is comfortable and safe.

  2004 Toyota Matrix XR AWD - 2004 Toyota Matrix
  By Lisa White - July 31 - 5:46 pm

  The car is very reliable and fun to drive. It took a while to get used to the seats since they sit very high. I do have 2 complaints; as trivial as they are, the latch on the compartment at the base of the gear box wont stay closed and the slightest bump in the road pops it open or it falls off completely. Second, when the windows dew up from the outside, you can generally roll your windows down and it would squeegee it off. Not with my Matrix; I have to stop the car and get out and wipe off the side windows so I can see; otherwise, I have to roll the windows down. Aside from that, I have no complaints and would recommend this car to anyone

  owner - 2004 Toyota Matrix
  By Debster - July 19 - 10:00 am

  Excellent car - good mileage - has all the comforts of home. Im short so the only uncomfortable part is the seat belt. I wish they would lower it so it does come across my neck. Otherwise its perfect in every way. Easy to get in and out of and lots of cargo space. The fold down rear seats make it so you can fit almost everything.

  To Hawaii and Back - 2004 Toyota Matrix
  By Capt Glenn - July 14 - 8:36 am

  We have shipped this car from VA to Hawaii and back. We have driven to CA and have enjoyed all the room and creature comforts of this CUV. We would recommend this to any small family. The AWD feature was a great safety comfort in the mountains, in the snow and on the beaches.

  Looooooove that car!!! - 2004 Toyota Matrix
  By Emmas mama - June 23 - 2:00 am

  WEre totally thrilled with this car. Have had a tercel and camry in the past, and were looking in vain for a Camry wagon. Delighted to discover the Matrix. Since were all very tall, the Matrix wins hands down for the great head room. The hatchback design and great gas mileage are cherries on top! Ive tried talking my car-seeking friends into checking this one out.

  From F150 to Matrix and fun drive - 2004 Toyota Matrix
  By Daniel Foster - April 25 - 10:00 am

  Not only does it look good but it drives good too. Much more fun than the F150 and easier on the pocketbook and easier to park. More room for your things than you could imagine by looking at it. A great week-end flea marketing vehicle and a comfortable ride for 4.The ulitmate shopping car.
