Fun to drive (my teenage daughter LOVES it!) and great gas mileage. OK power for hwy cruising but not much power for passing.

Overall an excellent vehicle. I upgraded from a 1987 Accord hatchback and this was the best match in terms of price, mileage, and utility (it is basically a larger, 4 door version of my previous car). In picking up my Matrix XR, however, I noticed the fog lamps didn't work - hence my build quality rating - it was easily fixed (need a fuse put in), but should not have been overlooked by Toyota (especially since they delayed my getting this car for a QC check). Also, try not to buy the "teflon coating" for the paint, just wash and wax it yourself. I will give an update in a couple months.

I really like my Matrix. It looks small on the outside but it's really spacious.I like the way it rides, and how fast it picks up speed.
