Toyota are the best cars I have ever owned because they run the longest with least major repair!
Love the hatch back space for hauling a few things and that it is still going strong without major repairs for all these years. Wish it had a better air conditioning unit for the size and wish I had auto door lock/unlock mechanism, but keep my manual roll windows.

It's a nice car, I personally like how light it is but I know that technically makes it less safe than a heavier car. It has a few problems, the suspension has been shoddy for years now and I had to get the transmission flushed several months ago because it was very close to breaking down completely.
For the most part it's a reliable car, but it's known for having transmission issues that can be expensive to fix.

Summarized vehicle on previous question.
My car is old and unreliable also has a recall on airbags where shrapnel may fly out on you. Has bad tires also has 2 leaking gaskets and power steering pump is leaking. It also needs new filters in gas tank because it takes about 10 mins just to pump 2 gallons of gas.

Toyota matrix is a solid vehicle.
Although Toyota does not make the matrix any longer if you find a pre-owned vehicle you will be getting a superb car. The matrix xr is very reliable. Has great gas mileage. Very comfortable. Needed a wide door opening as a result of a hip replacement. I am very comfortable driving. The storage room is ideal. Very fortunate to have found this matrix.

It is old, but a solid little car that gets great mileage.

Very reliable vehicle. The AWD is a great asset in the snow. It is the perfect car to use for car camping. I would recommend this car

It's big enough for almost anything you need to do but small enough to be convenient and economical.
My vehicle is great for what I do. I enjoy the outdoors, have a child, and a dog, so the Matrix fits our needs perfectly. It's cargo area is large enough for sports or camping equipment but it's small enough to park in the garage and it's still economical. It's in great condition, I don't owe any money on it, and the insurance payment is low because it's an older car.

She's still going after 13 years and over 200, 000 miles.
It has over 200, 000 miles on it, but it still has life in it. I regularly get the oil changed and keep up on auto repairs, and it keeps lasting me longer than I think it will. I may have put more money into the car than it is worth, but I think it is still cheaper than having to get a new car. Decent gas mileage too, about 30 mpg.

Car is great on gas and is spacious
The performance of the car is great. It is smooth and does perform well in speed and agility. Does not take much to gas up the car unless gas prices are high.

Even though it is a smaller and an older car, it's initial take off from being parked is faster than expected.
I actually drive a Pontiac Vibe, but that wasn't an option on the drop down menu and the Toyota Matrix has the same chasse. I like the size of the vehicle, and I like that even though it's a hatchback the backseat isn't super cramped so I can fit friends or my 70 pound dog back there comfortably. I wish it got better gas mileage and accelerated more quickly.

My silver chariot and me - life of a retired woman, making the most of my life.
Very dependable! This car has never let me down. I like the size for either turning into narrow places or laying down the seats to haul things. It holds so much! My mechanic tells me what a great car it is every time I take it in for routine maintenance. It never fails to start, which I am so thankful for. I am a widow and I really feel secure having a dependable car. It has over 200, 000 miles on it now and is still as dependable as ever. I like to camp with just me and my dog and my matrix holds all the supplies I need to take with me. Oh yes, my car has a name! The silver chariot!

Spacious and reliable vehicle.
The Toyota Matrix XR is extremely reliable. I have a 2005 and it runs just like new. I am extremely short and it has pump up seats which is a huge issue most face when getting an older model car. The mirror adjustments is also inside the car and doesn't require you to stick your hand out the window which was a huge upgrade from my previous vehicle. The Matrix is also extremely spacious, hatchback allows plenty of room for groceries and the back seat is suitable for multiple guest, children and dogs. Overall the vehicle is very reliable and comfortable for all different uses, hasn't failed one yet!

Perfect for the whole family and your pocket book!
It is over 10 years old and it is never had a problem. If you keep it serviced it runs wonderful, and takes you where you need to go. It has deep leg areas so you do not feel like you are sitting on the ground. I can comfortably take my grandmother around town and she does not have problems getting in or out of the vehicle. The air conditioning is placed in the front only but there is so much room inside the vehicle heat and ac reach the back passengers in a short amount of time. It being a Toyota, parts are super easy to replace and if something goes wrong it is cost efficient to replace. I got a new belt and it was super cheap the mechanic also fixed my routers in the same day.

Due to the amount of driving it takes to get around la, this car is not reliable on gas. It costs more to put gas than eventually what it is actually worth. The car is comfortable and compact for small errands. Definitely not your main driving car, but nice for a starter driver.

The best feature of the car is how large the interior feels.
I've had my car for a year now and it's great. It's very spacious, and for someone who's quite tall it helps a lot. Since it's a hatchback there's a lot of space for things. As a college student it helps for getting my things around. It goes through gas at a steady pace. I'd say it's not positive or negative just pretty neutral. Very basic car, the pick up isn't that great but overall it's a great car.

Safety plus great value for price.
My matrix has been a great car, I have had no problems or repairs needed since I bought it in 2015 (about 4 years ago). It was used, previously 1 owner, and maintenance has been easy to upkeep. It is a very basic model, so no electric windows or locks, which I do miss. Also, no cruise control, which really sucks on long drives, but overall the performance & safety of the vehicle has made it worth it. I would choose Toyota over & over again.

Toyota Matrix: Reliable and roomy!
Love my car. Bought this particular make based on recommendation from my mechanic. He said 'I'll probably rarely see you because Toyota's are very reliable' He was right. I've never had any major issue with it. I bought a Matrix specifically because of the cargo space. The back seats fold down, front passenger seat folds down forward, providing a ton of space. This was important to me because I am a musician so I can fit all my gear inside. Also, at the time I bought the car I had a 85 lb dog. With the back seats up there was still more than enough room for my dog to ride in the very back. Additionally, the back/cargo area is plastic, not carpeted so very easy to clean up after the dog.

It is very good on gas. I am able to go for a while without filling up.
The only complaint I have is how it handles in the winter. During winter it doesn't have a lot of traction. Sometimes it slides a bit.

It gets good gas mileage & runs great. Hardly needs any repairs, for the past 13 years,
This is the best car I have ever had. Only complaint is, the interior trim parts were not put together very well & rattles since day one.

That toyotas last forever
I really like having a hatchback, it's easy to get larger items in and I can put the back flat. But it doesn't work as well in my current life with two car seats in the back and not enough room for a 5th passenger. It's a little older but it still gets decent gas mileage and has never had a major repair with 200K+ miles.
