Fun Drive

2006 Toyota Matrix XR 4dr Wagon (1.8L 4cyl 4A)

This is the perfect car for me. It is a fun ride, a safe vehicle, very reliable, high quality construction and very economical. For those who want something smaller then the RAV4 this vehicle is perfect. I urge you to get the anti lock brakes, and the AWD. I had owned a Corolla SR5 in the 80s and loved it. This is the evolution of that car which captures the spirit of the SR5 and also gives you the versatility of a wagon. I have owned some nice cars, the Matrix is at the top of the list.

The car is very roomy, has a good ride, good pickup, but the engine groans when shifting into higher gears.

Nice little car

2006 Toyota Matrix 4dr Wagon AWD (1.8L 4cyl 4A)
0 of 0 people found this review helpful

With just a little over 1,000 miles on the odometer am getting about 27 mpg average. This is a nice quiet little car and seats five easily. Runs smooth and handles well. I like the cruise and all the power options. It does ride quite low to the ground, which is nice on clear dry roadways, but not for winter driving conditions. The AWD is fantastic. We can rely upon it to keep everything moving in slick conditions. I am hoping that the mpg will increase a little over time. But very satisfied so far.

Great car, leaks oil

My 2006 Matrix has had an oil leak at the timing chain tensioner repaired 4 times. I just finished my arbitration hearing today, and I'm not hopeful of much help there. Toyota won't admit that there is a real problem, and therefore isn't willing to do anything to help me. This is my first 'foreign' car, and certainly will be my first, last and only Toyota.
