Used 2005 Toyota Matrix Consumer Reviews
Money well spent!
It's almost as fun as my MR2, cooler than a minivan, slowly chews the dinosaurs (gas), is functional inside and people love my indigo ink exterior. We've owned 2 other Toyota vehicles over the last 20 years - my wife and I put over 500,000 miles (not kilometres) on both and spent just under $900.00 Canadian total in unexpected (not routine maintenance) cost between them!
love It
Overall this is a great car. I would buy another in an instant. I would suggest a few changes to toyota but other wise they got it dead on right.

2005 Matrix A Great Car
I bought my second hand 2005 Toyota Matrix in 2008 with 40K miles. My son used it for 4 years in college. It has manual shift. It has now 185K miles and still using it. I do the regular Regular oil change every 10K miles or one year using full synthetic oil and replace oil filter. I have changed brake pads, alternator and have the clutch changed. Other than that, it runs very well and my wife love that car.

Fantastic!
I just bought the car yesterday and I love it. It's very roomy; big enough to fit my 6"4 father and two small nephews. The handling is great and the gas mileage is so far so good! A very pleasant surprise! Highly recommend!
I love my Matrix
I purchased (ordered) the manual transmission - I love 5 speeds. I love my Matrix because it can carry so much. I went from a pick-up to this and I can still haul a lot of materials. I love the drive, the seats all go down and I like that the back is plastic. I don't even use the cargo net and rear cover but they are nice features. It is very comfortable and I love all the little storage places on the dash board.
