Used 2005 Toyota Matrix Wagon Consumer Reviews
EXCELLENT
This car is awesome. It has everything you would want to have a fun and safe drive. You get excellent gas mileage and it is awesome and extremely quiet to drive. Not to mention the little 4 cyl engine puts up all it has and this car is great to rely on!
One for the Road
Love this car! It's sporty, practical & spacious: Handles like a sports car. Economical like a compact. Roomy like a wagon. Stylish like an s.u.v. Dependable like a Toyota!

Toyota Fun
I would recomend this car to anyone ranging from teens to seniors. It is extremely comfortable, sporty looking and practical. Whenever I am ready to buy another vehicle, it will be a Toyota!
matrix
This car has a great design, very well thought out designs by Toyota like the anchors in the back. Seats sit up pretty high so it give you a good view of the road and of course the build quality of this car is outstanding.
Sporty and Versatile
I bought a Toyota because of it's reliability, that's a given. This model is sooo versatile, yet sporty. The fold down seats afford ample room for all kinds of loads. I tend to haul a carload of people as well, which are sure to have plenty of leg room! Super comfortable! Lot's of get up and go! And the Toyota name to boot! You can't go wrong with this one!
Fun and sporty
I really like this car. I did a good bit of research. I was told to get a more expensive car but there was something about a matrix. First of all it looks great very stylish. Wonderful turning radius. I really like the fact that you are higher than those sedans. It has a great radio even the basic model. I like the chrome. The fact is this is really a mini SUV. For people who want a little more space but are environmentally conscious this is for them. Some people call this a student car. I call it a car with a lot of value.
Everything I Expected
I've owned my 2005 Matrix XR 5-speed for 4 months and so far have nothing but good things to say about the car. My Matrix is fun to drive, has very comfortable and supportive seats, lots of passenger room, and gets very good gas mileage. The lowest I have gotten is 31 MPG, and that was on the first tank of gas from the dealership. Since then it has averaged 34 - 36 MPG, depending on how much highway driving is included. I know people who have bought Hybrid vehicles (Civic and Prius) who don't get that much better mileage (40 - 45 MPG) to justify the higher price. My Matrix was under $17K OTD. The car has no squeaks or rattles and feels like it will hold up well for the next 10 years.
Everyone is happy
My family, 17 and 12 year old sons, 15 year old daughter, my wife and I all like it. Everyone has found something about this car that makes them smile. It is a Toyota and it is fun to drive.
Love it but kind of weak
I've been wanting this car for years. But before I got this car, I had a 2000 Ford F-150 truck so it was really powerful but it guzzled gas like no other. I sold it and got the matrix. I just love the matrix but I miss the power that I had before. The car is very roomy and fun to drive especially during the summer.
I love it but
I love the my matrix its very confortable with its high seats, it sits high like a SUV so that you will have a better view of the road, good pick up, but there is one thing that needs improvement and that is the mirrors they don't fold in, and that can be problem when parking on a busy or narrow street. But its still a great car.
