Fold down the seats of this baby and you can haul almost anything! My dog loves this car, too. I pop the back hatch window and he's got a great perch. I also love the fact that the front passenger seat folds down into a flat desk. Great for long trips when I want to be flipping through CDs.

This is a fun car to drive. Easy to see all the way around. The passenger visor is a little awkward when moved to the side window because it hits the passenger's door handle. This car would be perfect if it was a bit longer and wider for the passengers in the back seat.

Made a great choice.

I traded in my Jeep Liberty for the Matrix over the summer due to rising gas prices. I didn't want to lose the cargo space I had with the Jeep. I made a great choice. I've been able to haul quite a bit with my Matrix. It has been the perfect substitute for an SUV without the high cost of gas. I'm surprised more SUV owners aren't switching to these as an alternative. I can see myself keeping this car for a long time. It's easy to drive and I've saved quite a bit of money on gas.

We bought the Matrix because the wife wanted an SUV and I wanted a Camry, this became our cross breed. The Matrix is a wonderful car, except when backing out of a parking lot, it is made a lot like the Camry, yet it is big enough to to feel like you're driving an SUV. We feel that we have made the best choice that we could have made at the time and are looking into buying a second Matrix.

I researched a lot of other before deciding on the MAtrix. Byut the MAtrix always came out on top in my book, i bought based on the toyoat reputation, and reviews from freinds that have bougght this car in past 2 yrs. I feel so safe in this car it like a mini suv, and its easy to handle w/o complicated gagdets.
