    I absolutely love this car!!! I have searched long and hard to find an affordable, reliable, and stylish car to fit my needs. The search is over. Im able to zip (and I mean zip)around inexpesively with three friends and my two German Shepherds and still have room!

    My wife and I have had this car for about a year now. This is the fifth new car we have purchase since 1991 and is by far the one that never makes me wish I bought something else. Gas milage is great, looks are awsome, and the fun factor is always there. Even when the weather was bad, the snowstorms in the northeast, this car never felt like it was out of its element. My Matrix is truly reliable fun on wheels!

    This is an excellent car for its price range. If I had a chance to do it all over again, I would do the same and get the XR. The XRS has a more powerful engine, only at 5500RPM. Below that it has the same HP as the others, even the base model. It doesnt have as many aftermarket accessories as the XR either. You can add the currently available engine accessories to the XR and get just as much power with a full powerband over the RPM range. IE: A supercharged XR with CAI can beat a stock XRS. This has been proven on the track. I love my XR and I cant wait to start hopping it up with custom accessories!

    I love Toyotas. 3 of the 4 cars in my family are Toyotas, for they always seem to offer the best in service. I wound up buying the Matrix after being jerked around by other dealers, so my review is slightly biased. The Matrix has really grown on me. At first, I was satisfied with the looks and interior design, but delighted with the Toyota nameplate. Now, I am delighted with the entire car. I absolutely love the layout inside the cabin. I also find the the car to be surprisingly roomy. For a compact car, it seems to sit off the road enough, providing you with a more commanding feel of the road. All in all, I really like my vehicle.

    What an absolutely superb vehicle! As far as the looks go, it looks much better in person than the photos. This is a real head-turner that has great lines and a sporty look. The interior is super cool. everything looks sporty and is in a convenient location. It has a lot of very cool features. The ride is excellent and smooth. I feel that it does have a very nice burst of power. This car is surprisingly roomy. Overall it is a real "Home Run" for Toyota. I highly recommend it to anyone

  • Its hard not to love this car - 2003 Toyota Matrix

    I just put 1,000 miles on my new XRS and Ive enjoyed every mile of it. It took me a little time to learn how to really drive this car. You can shift at around 4,000 rpm and get a really smooth ride out of it. Or you can rev it up to its power band (6,000-8,000 rpm) and get a lot more speed out of it, But keeping it in the power band takes a little practice on the open road. looking at the car you would not think it handles nearly as well as it does. It has a low center of gravity which gives it great handling around turns at high speeds. Do try and See this car in person, pictures do not do it justice. Its truly a joy to drive and its practical.

    Large cargo space, lots of standard features and it is fun to drive. Smooth ride and high gas milage for its size. It is just about everything you can ask for.

  • What a great car! - 2003 Toyota Matrix
    By -

    I love this car! This is my first Toyota, and I am very happy. The Matrix is fun to drive, sporty, the gas mileage is great,and all my friends are envious. It handles extremely well on wet pavement and around curves. The instrumentation is easy to see and use, the stereo is great, and it has a surprising capacity. Go Toyota!!
