Proceed on the current route
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.

This car is fun to drive although it does net get the gas milage I expected
Kudos to Crossovers
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.
Just plain fun
I used to rent cars for a living and have driven many different makes and models, so I knew what to get and not to get. I had my heart on the XRS when I went to the dealership but just couldn't swing the payments. Just before I left, I test drove the XR and bought it on the spot. It's fun to drive, has Toyota's reliability to back it, and because there's not a lot of them out where I live, it turns heads and makes people ask what it is. It has that young, sporty look and the interior gauges pretty cool. It has a lot of headroom, decent interior space, and enough standard features to fulfill almost all of my needs. All for well under $20,000.
