Best long lasting car for you
Everything is awesome and long lasting I don't ever have problems I've had one in like ten years which is very impressive

Good, fun, reliable car that looks classy and sporty at the same time.
The Toyota Matrix is a very good and reliable car. We bought it used with a few things that needed fixed. They were pretty simple to fix for my husband and not too expensive when we had to take it in. Since then no issues, good gas mileage, we like having the hatchback window being able to open as well as the full back door. It's fun to drive a manual transmission and less likely for it to get stolen ;)

Very versatile. Once rear seats are folded, there is tons of cargo space.
It is a great car. Very fuel efficient and roomy. Four passengers fit comfortably. The car has been discontinued; matrix is no longer made.

2004 Toyota Matrix, has lasted 310,000 miles and is still going strong.
I have never experienced any issues with my car, other than having to replace the brakes, tires, lights, and whatnot. It gets pretty good miles to the gallon. I've gotten close to 40 on the highway. The interior is spacious, but the car isn't massive. I can easily put the back seats down and transport a lot. It has 310,000 miles on it, and I still love it.

Toyota matrix: very reliable and fuel efficient!
My matrix is very reliable and I have never had any problems with it! I like that it is a smaller car but it also is roomy inside. The gas mileage is great for me since I run around town so much.

Great car for a great price.
The vehicle all in all is a good vehicle. Sometimes it may make a noise here and there but for the year it runs great.

The great thing about the matrix is that it is gas efficient and has much space.
I really like the Toyota matrix it is roomy and has a lot of space for my projects. Groceries, crafts, gardening, everything seems to fit in the matrix. The thing I do not like is that it requires frequent oil changes, it seems like I need to constantly change my oil every 3 months.

I think I can, I think I can
I really love this vehicle even though it is getting up there in age/miles. The hatchback is perfect for the dog. The biggest issue I have is that it is only a 4 cylinder and chugs along when I go up hills so going to the beach or long trips is a bit slow.

Decent Car that gets good mileage
It's really reliable, but has developed problems with the starter. The airbags had to be replaced, as did the window motor. The paint has begun to chip off the hood, and many of the plastic pieces on the Frame have broken off. It is a standard and gets good gas mileage

The Toyota matrix is a great family car.
I love how much space is in the matrix. It also drives wonderfully, my car now has 200,000 miles and still drives like new. I have had this car for about 2 years and also like the silver color. Does great in the snow as well. The matrix is a great family car small but efficient.

If you treat it right, you should be able to get 40 mpg. I think the estimates top out at about 35 highway, but if you drive like a civilized human, 40 isn't out of the question.
While it's overall pretty good, I've been having consistent issues with the clutch safety switch. I've had it replaced a couple times before, but now I'm thinking about just bypassing it.
Maria L
on November 16, 2020
If you take good care of it, it will last you a long time.
It's a very good car. I haven't had any problems with it. The door handles keep breaking and it's my only problem.

She's a great car for a single person or a young family.
I love my little matrix. She has great space inside for such a small car. She does not have great acceleration but she goes fast enough and gets me where i'm going.

Reliable - logged over 350,000km on it and still strong
The 2004 Toyota Matrix I have owned since new is awesome, Do the oil changes regularly and the oddometer stopped at 299,999 , but I must be over 350,000km now. I am on the still original water pump, starter, muffler. Amazing build Toyota. My next care, when this does die, is going to be a Toyota.

It is a great fuel efficient vehicle.
It is a very good fuel efficient car. I brought used, but it has given me no problems, just the basic wear and tear of having a vehicle. Toyota makes sturdy long lasting cars. I had the vehicle for fives and I will get the title in march. If you buy a Toyota, you'll be happy you bought it.
Bailey F
on September 27, 2020
Basic medium sized car. I think it would be considered a hatchback.
Great vehicle, very dependable. It has 190,000 and still runs great. This is my first car and it has far exceeded my expectations.
Val S

Love my cute, sporty, reliable Toyota matrix.
From the day I purchased this vehicle it is been great. I get excellent gas mileage, it is sporty looking, never had any major mechanical problems. Just normal routine maintenance. The back seats fold down and since they are hard plastic it makes it super convenient when you need extra space to carry things.

This car is spacious and simple and it gets the job done.
It is the color yellow. It 4xd so it works well in all weather conditions. After so many years it works well.

That toyota's are a long lasting vehicle. They are well designed and built to last.
I like the fact that it has gone 300,000 miles and is still running strong. It might be a little slow in the hills, but it will get you there.

Reliability
Near 400,000km and more than 15 years, no problem. Same motor transmission, clutch and...rear brake! The most expensive repair was starter, alternator and gas tank. Run almost like new. Some rust issue but I live in an hard country for cars!
Renee J
on August 15, 2020
I like the hatchback (5th door) and that the rear seats fold down.
This is the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. The only repairs undertaken were the replacement of a serpentine belt and a new starter motor. Other things have just been standard wear and tear like tires and battery. While it is not the speediest vehicle on the road, it can easily do 75 mph without too much effort. The fuel consumption is not as good as newer cars, but I do get 30-33 miles to the gallon on the highway and about 26 miles in traffic.
Marilyn G
on August 6, 2020
It is a small car but has plenty of room and trunk space.
I love my car because it is very dependable. It drives well. I have not had any serious problems with it at all. Only had to change the battery in it, in all the years that I've had it. I would surely recommend a Toyota to anyone. It basically has good gas mileage as well.
Dona S

Love my matrix. Time to sell the gas-guzzling bmw and keep the matrix!
I have driven the 2004 matrix for almost four years, as I co-own with my 93 year old mother, who no longer drives. She loved it, had bought it (pre owned) from a Toyota dealership. I continue to have the car serviced - which has been oil changes only, new brake pads, and a battery - and love the way it drives and conserves gas!
Melissa B

It can haul a lot of stuff. I've been moving with it and it's really helpful
I like the car. It's fun to drive. I bought it used for 1500 dollars and it has lasted two years already. I'm really blessed.

My Toyota Matrix 2004 is awesome! I have dealers wanting to buy it! Spacious and not.bad to look at. It would be difficult to trade in such a great little car with a big spacious attitude!

Overall I think this car is very reliable and a gas saver
I've had my vehicle for about a year now and so far it's been good. I bought it with 170000 miles on it but it really is a great car, it's a gas saver I pump around $20 every 2 weeks. It does have a few things that want to fix though, for example every time it rains I my passenger seat gets wet. I think it's either worn out weather strip or hole in the rooftop. Also the front windows both have bad power motors. I hear a scratching noise when I lower or raise the windows and they also have visible scratches on the glass itself. Those are the only two problems that I have with my car.

The car handles well. It takes curves well.
Handles well with good gas mileage. Very cold air! Takes too long to fill gas tank. Something not right in filler tube. Fuel backs up in the neck and causes pump to click off.

Olivia J

If there's a problem with the transmission then you need to make sure you have 4000 dollars in handy.
I like that I don't have a car note on it. It doesn't take much to fill up for gas. I don't like that it feels like a really old car that needs a makeover.
Bri N

Even though it's getting older, that's just the outside, Toyota's are really gems!
I love my little vehicle! I wish they still made them. I have had no major maintenance issues, good gas mileage and the hatchback style has been really versatile over the years. I really love my car.

I've become a Toyota lover!
My car is super reliable. I've put some money into it over the years and it's still working very well for being 15 years-old. I cannot complain. It's very good on gas and is a good size too! I feel very safe in my car. The only reason I'm going to be looking for a new car is because it's older. Otherwise, I would drive my car forever! I will definitely be buying a Toyota in the future.
Tamlyn K
on October 8, 2019
Since it is a slightly older car you have to be gentle with it when it comes to driving or just pulling on the door handles.
It is a reliable vehicle that I think will last me a few more years. It is a well built car with good bones. Only complaint would be the plastic pieces of the car because they tend to need more work to maintain.
Audrey V
on September 24, 2019
Smooth ride with decent lasting power.
I have had it for a while so it has a few issues with the doors and windows falling apart. The seats are very comfortable and I like how it drives, but it is older so it is starting to have engine issues. I like the size and interior cabin space and it used to have a good stereo, but the speakers are starting to go out.

It is dependable, gets good gas mileage and is fun to drive.
My Toyota matrix has been a very dependable vehicle. I have enjoyed the design with seats that fold flat, creating lots of room for cargo. It has several outlets for phones and/or laptops. I have only had one major repair in the last 14 years: the clutch had to be replaced. I would recommend Toyota.
Katie H

2004 Toyota matrix great car.
I love Toyota matrix so much that when my first was stolen I bought another one! It has a lot of space and is bigger than it looks. I feel like I take good care of my car and the maintenance and any parts are fairly priced. Smaller tires are cheaper too which is nice. I do wish I had a bigger SUV but would drive this any day happily. It gets great gas mileage too.
You V

It is small, convenient, easy to "do it yourself" repairs and annual monthly repair. Plenty of leg space for 4 people and the hatch back is very nice.

Reliable and lasts and lasts.
Fun to drive. Reliable. Everything fits in it. I am very sad that they stopped making this model. I have always had my Toyotas last a long time and feel like I have always gotten my monies worth. Love this car as it is still doing great at 180k miles.

Dependability of a Corolla with a roomier interior
My Matrix has over 190,000 miles on it and is still dependable and in good shape. It gets decent gas mileage, which I like, and I like the amount of room I have. It has had a few recalls, which are inconvenient and sometimes frustrating.

Do not press on the pedal too hard and underestimate the acceleration.
The Toyota matrix has great legroom and the placement of the steering wheel is comfortable for both big and small individuals. The blind spot is smaller than most cars as well.

Reliable, great gas mileage, comfortable, safe, spacious, great for traveling
The Toyota Matrix is very reliable, great gas mileage, comfortable, spacious, and great for trips. Since owning it I have not really experienced any issues besides regular maintenance such as oil changes, etc. In the city with lots of stop and go driving I still manage to get anywhere from 20-25 miles per gallon and 30+ highway. There is lots of room in this vehicle to where you won't feel crowded and is awesome for trips because it can more than hold everything in the trunk or if you want even more space you can lower the back seats and make extra room. It has a lot of compartments to store things as well which makes it great if you carry lots of stuff in your car. Overall I've been very happy and pleased with my 2004 Toyota Matrix and definitely recommend it.

This is a good vehicle, but it's given me plenty of issues too. Just this weekend I had to replace the blower motor relay, because the blowers were staying on after I turned the car off and took the keys out of the ignition.
It's a nice little SUV/wagon. I wouldn't take it too offroad, but it can handle a rough gravel road just fine.

The matrix - 2004 edition.

The Toyota Matrix is a reliable family car.
I love my Toyota Matrix! It is reliable and gets good gas mileage. I've had 5 other cars, and the Matrix is definitely my favorite! I love that it's small, but it still has plenty of room for my family of four. It is a good car to use for work or just taking my little ones to fun events. It has a sunroof, which is a nice bonus around spring and summer time.
