  • Best big lil-car - 2003 Toyota Matrix
    By -

    I used to drive an Xterra-BEAST. Hated it. Bought the Matrix bacause it looked cool and had some interior room. Some room indeed. I can put more junk in my Matrix than I ever hoped to stuff in the Xterra. Granted I cant climb mountains in the Matrix, but I didnt climb mountains in the Xterra. ...And I can drive past lost of gas stations with the Matrix...

    It has lots of interior space, Im 66" 275lbs. My family fits inside this little car. My friends like the way it looks, They said they wanted the windows tinted. It has just enough power to get you where you need, plus good gas mph.

  • Nice Driving - 2003 Toyota Matrix
    By -

    I found the car easy to drive. The front window was to expansive and easy to view. I felt like I was in a school bus, with the seat high in the car. It make viewing of the road easy. I thought the pick-up could be alot better, but once it hit 40 the car kept up with the other cars on the road. The radio and CD player had good quality. All in all this car is fun to drive.

    Ive owned this car for about 4 months. Because Ill be going off to college soon, I needed a car that was reliable and fun to drive. The Toyota Matrix lives up to and exceeds my requirements of a great vehicle.

  • a ride for thoes who know how to drive!! - 2003 Toyota Matrix

    I Love it, its slow from the start but once your going it can pass almost anything one the road!! The AC inverter is the best standard feature, with a very roomy interior. Im seriously considering some TRD upgrades to the engine and handling.

  • Love the Matrix! - 2003 Toyota Matrix
    By -

    I am on my second matrix! I bought the XR model and loved everything about it so when I had the chance to "upgrade" to a 6 speed XRS with all the toys I jumped at it. The car is sporty, very fun to drive and at the same time is very practical.

    This car was made for me! I waited through the Focus, Civic, PT Cruiser -- Toyota wins the hatchback revival contest with this one.

  • XRS great car but it uses premium gas - 2003 Toyota Matrix
    By -

    The XRS is very stylish. It has a lot of power for hills. Interior features are great. Note, when you get this vehicle that it uses premium gas (octane > 91). The ride, with the "sport tuned suspension" is a bit choppy on the highway.

  • Lovin It So Far! - 2003 Toyota Matrix
    By -

    Just bought the Matrix XR over the weekend and I must say that I really like it. I got the FWD automatic because shifting bites in DC traffic and because its intended to be the "family car". I would have gotten the XRS but I figure if I wanted a bigger engine then I would have gotten a sports car. People look at the car everywhere I go and its because its a great looking car.
