2010 Toyota Matrix S 4dr Hatchback (2.4L 4cyl 5A)
8 of 12 people found this review helpful
I feel like I paid way too much for the 2010 Matix S which has basic insides- no bells or whisles- blah. The car sounds like its dragging, the tires already are worn before 15,000 miles and hear the problem doesnt go away. Blind spots, drivers head rest is a blind spot and and eye sore and its not comfortable. I use it for work and back. I dont want to take it on long trips for its uncomfortable. Telescope steering wheel means 1/2 in closer to the engine, thats already in your lap.
Disappointed

This is the first time I bought a new car and was disappointed: 1. Blind spots in front and back. 2. Poor radio. 3. Way too much road noise. 4. Uncomfortable ride (I can feel every little bump in the road). 5. Recall for safety reasons.

Where mediocrity held sway

2010 Toyota Matrix S 4dr Hatchback AWD (2.4L 4cyl 4A)
16 of 28 people found this review helpful
The second generation of the Toyota Matrix features instantly noticeable larger exterior dimensions, with predictable design cues derivative from the previous model. The interior is all Pontiac (as the Matrix shares a platform with the Vibe) and at a total loss for any real style. The driver's view offers a landscape of unbalanced, drab plastic shapes with chunky knobs and no real aesthetic appeal. Although the build quality seems solid, the lack of inspired design renders the interior joy-less. The blind spot created by the large C-pillar, combined an awkward angle and size of the third window makes the car very hard to see out of at the rear. Fuel economy on the 2.4 has been disappointing.
Great commuter car-lots of room

2013 Toyota Matrix L 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl 4A)

I walked in to the dealer and bought this right off the lot. I have owned Toyotas in the past and knew this would be reliable like the others. I have the convenience package with auto, A/C, Bluetooth audio system. It would have been nice if this package came with heated seats but the side mirrors are heated. So far, after 4 months, it's been great. I drive 45 minutes into work each day and this car is a pleasure to drive on the highway and great to park. There are a few blind spots near the front window pillars where I feel the side mirrors get in the way. The radio is a plus as it connects to Ipod, blackberry etc and handsfree function is great!
Reliable, practical and ever lasting!

2011 Toyota Matrix 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl 4A)

I bought the base model 10 year ago. It's a 2011 matrix hatchback 4 speed manual with a 1.8 engine. It has no rust and is in excellent shape. I've had no trouble with this car other than brakes. The seats fold down flat and is as roomy as most SUVs. This is a great cheap car and can last for years yet. I highly recommend this car!
