I love the navigation system. During a 3 minute demo to a VP at my office, while just sitting in the parking lot, had him saying he'd never buy another car without it. During first long trip, S to N across PA, my son and I never turned on the radio or CD once. It was just so much fun to see how it worked and how quickly it recalculates routes if you decide on a little detour.

The Matrix combines the best of looks, function and economy with bullet-proof Toyota reliability. i have downsized from a truck and find the flexibility of the cargo hold perfect for my needs which includes camping, home improvement chores and daily commuting. Interior space is deceiving based on the vehicle's exterior dimensions. I have owned the car for 4 weeks and have gotten 30 mpg, right in the middle of the estimated city/highway mpg. All in all a great buy and a solid drivng experience. The only downside is a lack of power. It didn't make sense however to ante up for the bigger engine with only 5 lb-ft more torque at such ridiculous RPMs.
