this car works because it's a toyota, the design is all japanese and that's a great thing. luckily, pontiac actually improved over the matrix styling and mines really hot. I have the base auto salsa with the sports package and 17 inch alloys. the extra spoilers on the back are unique and really add to the body kit. i also have the moon and tunes pkg with abs and black interior. the vehicle is really sporty looking and handles well with the big wheels. the best part of this deal was the gm employee pricing plus i haggled an additional 1300 off that, which deducted about 5000 off msrp. got great financing too.

oh please!!!a 1.8 engine in a 2700lb car..well i love the little 1.8.I installed a k and n air filter..a world of difference.Great gas miliage. I'm thinking about buying the supercharger/gm product..or the k and n cold air intake system,you will get more hp and torque..i'm always comming up with excuses to drive it...i'm hooked.

Fun to drive and very practical. I wasn't wanting to pay $30,000+ for a full size SUV - this fuel efficient car makes for plenty of space. Feels very safe and solid.

I drive a lot! School, work, play. This car has been nothing but god to me. lots of room inside. (a 6 ft man can sleep nicely in back) I chose not to trade it in but keep it as a second road trip car. I think I can honestly get 300k out of this thing!
