I don't recomend the Matrix. It's expensive for a car that is put together so cheaply. Push on the front fender panels and watch them wabble back an fourth. The console under the shifter will not stay shut if you put anything in it. The car is really underpowered.

Anybody else with transmission fluid that looks bad at 32,000 miles, Dealer dosen't care, Asked them if they are seeing this in the other matrix and they say no but it's perfectly normal in mine. Fluid should go 100,000 miles.I like the car, don't like being given a line of bull.I think the trans is going out.
Could be much better

The Matrix does not live up to the thoughtful design and comfort of my previous Toyotas. Unfortunately, Toyota borrowed some of the worst GM features, such as the recessed gauges, trim, and radio. The front underbody spoilers are poorly designed and flimsy. One was ripped off by a tire tread on the freeway and they are constantly scraping small road obstacles or curbs. There is no low-end torque so you have to press heavy on the gas pedal to obtain decent acceleration, resulting in a noisy take off. I bought the car because I needed utility and wanted decent gas mileage (24-26 mpg, mixed driving). Theres potential here, but for now, Toyota missed the mark.
One month experience.....
