2003 Toyota Matrix XR Fwd 4dr Wagon (1.8L 4cyl 5M)

I really do like my Matrix XR but I have some things I don't like about it. The engine is loud, I have a 5 speed and when I shift at even a low RPM like 3K RPM the engine is literally screaming. The interior looks very cool but I've had some problems with rattles in the dash and the door. The red gauges are hard to read. Blindspots are pretty bad in this car.
Awsome Sports Wagon

WOW what a car! AWD (all wheel drive) system is flawless, and GREAT mpg for a AWD car. Looking for a great AWD car for under $20,000, the Matrix is the best bang for the buck!

This is by far the best car made for the price. I was looking for an all around vehicle, with some hauling capability and good gas mileage. But I didn't want an SUV and I also didn't want to spend a fortune. It's extremely reliable - so far ;-) - and is a blast to drive. I have the base model w/auto and though I've heard others complain about the lack of power, I never have any problems passing when needed. A fantastic car, that's for sure!
Not too bad.....BUT

Overall a nice car, BUT there is always room for improvements. I learned quick that if you want good Toyota service, you sometimes have to file a complaint! The master cylinder went out at 4000 miles- needless to say we weren't too happy and the service department wasn't very kind- but we just called the 1-800 number and had a little talk with Toyota- the problem was then solved correctly AND with a smile! Roomy ride, awesome design, and I love the interior! We did purchase the XR with the smaller engine just because I didn't believe the larger engine to be worth the extra cash. So far, after 8000 miles we are happy with the smaller engine.
Hatchback, SUV or Wagon, a GREAT CAR!

When I first saw the car, even though I thought it was the right car for me, I was hesitant to buy it because of the looks. But now it looks better now that I am used to it. It is a great car, quiet and roomy, with good handling and braking. And because it is a Toyota, build quality and reliability will be sound. I love my car!
