Love my silver bullet

2010 Toyota Matrix S 4dr Hatchback AWD (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

The car has great steering and maneuverability. I have fully enjoyed owning this vehicle. It is roomy enough for my 6'4" partner yet fits into lots of small spaces. Good on gas mileage and has AWD. Roomy hatchback which holds long items like full size drain spout.

Awful Gas Mileage

I've owned; Honda CRV - the Honda got much better gas mileage, Nissan Pathfinder V6 - comparable gas mileage, Saturn VUE AWD V6 - Saturn had much better gas mileage ... Do not consider this vehicle.

Toyota Does It Again!

Toyota has done it again! Awesome solid car. Tried the Honda Fit Sport which is a piece of junk. Thought I should switch due to all the problems Toyota was having. What a HUGE mistake. Returned the Honda and bought the Toyota Matrix S with cruise for only $14,988.
