I have two kids, and this car fits my family perfectly. Cavernous? No, but plenty large for a family of four and everything that travels with it. I love the comfortable seats, the high seating position, the interior space (headroom in particular) and the incredible gas mileage. You won't find a better value in this price range, all things considered.
Dependable with great gas mileage

Bought this brand new and have loved it to this day! Never any trouble and great gas mileage (still getting 41 mpg). We keep it regularly maintained and I plan on driving it for another 200,000 miles plus!

I don't know what the deal is with my matrix, because I am a solid Toyota only kind of person. saw this cute little red matrix looked like a good price, 5 speed which is manual which is good for getting out into traffic with a 4 cylinder car, and don't hurt my kid to learn how to drive on that. but it has been repair, after repair, after repair, after repair, has been clutch now and the oxygen sensor and air conditioning and air conditioning still doesn't blow great and that's just in the 1st 2 months of owning it! now granted I bought it used but come on it only has like a 140000 miles on it that should be just breaking it in for a Toyota. Very disappointed. I love the look and style but it has not been dependable. I keep thinking what's next going to go wrong on this thing. Not to mention that what seem like a good price is now $2000 more because of all the repairs.

My Matrix XR replaced a Honda driven 10 yr, 250k and loved. I have yet to develop same affection for Matrix. After 10k it seems reliable, functional, economical, fun to drive. 5 sp shift is smooth but has a unique click sound each shift. Some design features are at times inconvenient or annoying. Visibility out side and back suffers. Front and rear seat headrests are always in way, same for body/roof posts. Warning signal for unbuckled seatbelts is loud, obnoxious. Why all the noise when passenger unbuckles to remove coat or briefcase or box is on passenger seat? And panic button on the key fob is horribly designed. How many times have I accidentally set it off? Please don't ask my neighbors!
Practical fun

So many practical reasons to own this car: excellent gas mileage, lots of cargo room, Toyota reliability, flat-folding seats. But what sold me on it was that it's just a fun car to drive. The handling is enjoyable, the engine is more willing than its 126 hp would imply, the interior is cockpit-ish, the 6-cd sound system is decent, the seats are comfy with cool fabric, and the ride is nicer than the competition's. It's a nice mix of good stuff for the money. I was considering a Civic, but the Matrix had more cargo space, a nicer ride, a nicer interior, and was way more fun to drive. The auto I test drove was good, but I recommend a manual trans with any small engine.
