At 10 years old this car has never given me a single problem. It is super reliable, a great gas saver, and drives well in snow/rain. There is some road noise however. Seats 4 adults comfortably. The child latch system makes me feel secure with my toddler's car seat in place. There is a lot of cargo room.

Amazing, happy, would buy again, definitely will miss this car when it is gone.
Not bad never had problems never burns oil and still running with 200,000+ miles. The care has been awesome and driving it still feels like it is new and if they still made them I would definitely buy a new one because this has been my first car and I have driven over 100,000+ on it myself and it is been really good.

Reliable, cute hatchback.
My car is mechanically very good. They body has no damage and it always starts. It gets pretty poor gas mileage, though, especially for a small vehicle. I love the hatchback though. The brakes work well, as does the all wheel drive. The headlights and wiper blades are sufficient.

Fun to drive, bad blind spots.
Sport transmission is iffy after 100k miles. Fun to drive. Comfortable. The hatchback makes it easy to transport things. The seats also lean back, making for ample room. It is set on the same chassis as a corolla, so changing oil is easy. Blind spot is pretty bad.

2010 Toyota Matrix Sport Model.. Speedy, reliable and fun
At first I was off put by this car because for one, it is Orange and two, I had never heard of a Matrix. However it has been the most reliable car our family has had and I love that it is a Toyota. We have had it for two years in October and have had zero problems or repairs, it is speedy and slick and looks even newer than it is. It is also the sport model so it's a little nicer. We are already talking about getting another Matrix in the future

Toyota matrix, a car for a lifetime.
Horrible blind spots and a little bit of a tight turn radius. Had airbag issue but that was fixed. So far maintenance has been cheap and easy. The car has not had many issues. The engine did have a break down but it was fixed and all is well now. Overall great car and easy to fix.

It runs well. It looks good. It's easy to drive. I like everything except it doesn't have the smoothest ride.

Sleek and comfortable Toyota.
I like how comfortable the car is. The features are nice including Bluetooth and easy to read buttons and commands. Maintenance upkeep is simple and easy. The car drives very well and is easy on the breaks but not too much. The trunk space is very ideal for a small car and the design of the car is very sleek. I enjoy the bike rack on the top.

2010 Toyota matrix, a great little hatchback!
My vehicle (Toyota matrix) is wonderful. I haven't had any problems with it other than a recall on one of my airbags, but the Toyota dealership immediately contacted me and fixed it for free. It gets wonderful gas mileage, and drives very smoothly. The seats are adjustable and very comfortable. I am a short person, so I love that the driver's seat can be raised higher. The only thing I do not love is that the columns between the windshield and driver/passenger windows are a bit wide, so I sometimes have to lean to one side to get a good look at a turn. But I have gotten used to that. It has a nice amount of room in the back seat for passengers. And the back seats fold down, which I love! That, combined with the hatchback make it so easy to transport almost anything! My husband and I have even camped out in the back when we couldn't find a hotel room on a trip . It's a great little car.

Toyota matrix a quality sporty choice.
No major issues. Have had some vibration when stopped and engine is idling. Vibration disappears when I put in neutral. Otherwise the vehicle is very reliable, good power, low maintenance costs and great fuel mileage. Turning radius could improve. Some line of sight could be improved in design.

Great on gas. And very fast. Perfect for first time drivers.
Space, and size. Comfortable but wish it was bigger. And higher off the ground. Not bad on gas a all. Getting work done is not that expensive.

2010 Toyota matrix - a great car to own and smart purchase!
My features on this vehicle are very minimal, radio, auxiliary input, head and air. The car has driven to 185,000 miles with minimal issues. There was a weird rattling under the hood that turned out to be a problem with the power steering that had to be fixed and a belt needed to be replaced but overall the car itself and the engine have held up very well. It is compact and fun to drive and gets the job done.

Loving my Toyota matrix hatchback!
Driving a Toyota matrix is lovely. The seats are comfy and we have plenty of room in the car for my husband and son. I love that my car is stick shift and hatchback. It is really easy to put the seats down and load stuff in the back and then put them back up. My son fits comfortably in his car seat on either side.

I will always buy a Toyota and here's why.
I have had the Toyota matrix since 2011. I purchased it used (after being a rental car for 1 year). I do perform regular oil changes, tire rotations, etc. Besides that, I have never had any issues with it and only had to perform routine maintenance (new brake pads and tires). I would have preferred a different type of interior fabric that is a little more durable and easier to clean, but besides that I love this car.

Smooth ride
Love my matrix just wish I had gotten a different color bc. White gets d***y fast but this car handles great. Lots of pep... Way more pep than other Toyotas I test drove. I love my matrix idk why Toyota stopped producing these cars, they are roomy but look small and handle great. Best car I've had. I will never buy another pontiac but Toyota, I'd buy over and over again

Hatchback like with great space.
The Toyota matrix has been a reliable car and is great for college age students needing to get to and from work and or school. Gas mileage is not bad but could be better. It has a good amount of space in the trunk and seats can be flipped down for even more.
Jen S

Toyota matrix is a great little car.
I love this car. It is compact and versatile. Has plenty of room for such a small size and is great on gas mileage. A con is that the seats are uncomfortable for your back when on long trips. I love the back hatch area. It is great for loading up gear and easy to clean.
Nancy B
on May 24, 2020
It has been a very low maintenance car. I've had it for almost 9 years and have done very few repairs. Just regular maintenance like oil changes, tires, and brakes.
I love my Toyota Matrix. I like the hatchback style vehicle. It is easier for my dogs to get in and out of. I also like the way the rear seats fold down flat to give the dogs more room.

Toyota matrix a great small vehicle.
Great vehicle. Very comfortable for a small car. . Hugs the road. Maneuvers very well. Love the sunroof. This car rides very well and we have not had a lot of problems with it, even though it is a 2010 vehicle. The fold down seats come in handy for transporting items.
Michael M
on May 10, 2020
Quality compact vehicle but with great acceleration and suspension.
Vehicle has been very reliable for the most part. The xrs has great pickup in acceleration and the suspension is great feeling for a small car. Gas economy is really good. The issues I have had related to this car are vibration. I have heard from other matrix owners that they have experienced the same and most causes, including mine, have been engine mounts that were failing. The one other thing I have noticed with this car is that it is tough visually to park. Perhaps that is just me, but I have always had other cars that I have been able to park without much trouble, the depth perspective from the driver's seat is a little weird to me.

It's interior is very roomy. The back seats fold flat, and so does the front passenger seat. You can create a lot o cargo space.

Flexibility in cargo space. It is peppy. Decent mpg. But still wish mpg was better. Needs stability and traction control or wad. Needs a fob feature.

The most important thing is the gas mileage. I get about 10 gallons or so for a full tank while riding on about 26 mpg
Vehicle has not had many required body shops visit. Very reliable with great gas mileage city and highway. Just has little to no pick up compared to other cars
Jeanette H
on March 10, 2020
Comfortable, reliable vehicle.
This car is amazing. Haven't had any real issues until recently. That problem is the muffler but it has over 70,000 miles on it. It drives really well and maneuvers great. It is also very comfortable and reliable. Love the fold down seats and there is a lot of legroom.
Pris P
on February 25, 2020
Reliable year after year. Still looks good.
Extremely reliable. Normal issues only. I have kept up on the regular maintenance and it is given me no major problems. The hatchback is very handy. I can carry quite a bit in this vehicle. The only major complaint is the amount of road noise. The tape deck did not last past year 8. Radio works fine. Ac is decent which is important in Florida.

Great for long distance travel and getting up to highway speed quickly!
My car drives great in clear, beautiful weather. However, I really wish it were heavier and did better in the snow. The skid control frequently kicks in unexpectedly, causing the car to jerk around in snow or slush. Beyond that, this vehicle is great. The space is nice - myself, my boyfriend, and my rottweiler can travel comfortable for long distances in my vehicle. The hatchback trunk is not so bad, either. Nice and spacious.

Cassie J

It has never broken or had major issues
Very reliable, only issue is it is only front wheel drive instead of wheel or all wheel. I would enjoy a 4 wheel car better because during snowstorms, heavy rainfall, or bad weather, it is more reliable. However, no major issues have ever occurred with this car,
Katherine K

It is very affordable, with very low maintenance.
It does not have GPS. Otherwise, it is great on gas mileage, comfort, and easy to drive. Everything is accessible. It has very low maintenance. It handles very well and is excellent on ice and snow.

Folding back seats so there's lots of room.
I have had no problems its a good car to get around town. That is all I can say no way can I get 250 characters long in writing about a car. No way, no way, no way, no way, no way. This is not a good question/answer nothing more to say it's just a car, just a car, just a car, just a car.

Toyota Matrix = Reliability The hatchback is large and carries lots of cargo
It is very reliable, easy to drive and comfortable. I haven't had any major problems with this car and it has never left me stranded. It has really good pickup and drives well in all kinds of weather: snow, rain, etc. I feel really safe driving this car. It is roomy also for several passengers

It offers airbags and keyless entry with alarm but at high speeds it's handling is shakey
The handling is somewhat poor the miles per gallon are satisfying but the space it offers is unsatisfying to myself and the parking of my vehicle is good as far as parking spaces go.
Isaac L

A great car to have at home!
I really love my car because it runs well and does not cost a lot of money to fill up gas. The steering is firm but easy. The stereos are nice and work very well. The parking brake is easy to use and the breaks are sensitive but not too much. I think that only downside of the car is that the gas pedal is very sensitive. It takes time to get used to the gas pedal.
Varda H

It is reliable, has lots of storage room, and has had no major mechanical problems. Dislike, since I bought new tires the hubcaps keep falling off and I need to replace them.

Toyota doesn't make it anymore. The do a Scion now, but it just isn't the same. The new Scions remind me of the tercel
I would like it to be a little higher. I was used to a higher vehicle, but I do love the style
Kari H

It's Got the Get Up and Go!
It's an incredibly easy car to handle, both on the freeway with lane changes and back roads with curves and hills. Easy to park because of its size, and because of the hatch back, it fits a surprising amount of items. I've used it to move a few times, and it holds as much as some SUVs! The only issue that I am having is the paint top coat has started to turn white and the hood looks awful. I try and park it in places where others won't readily see the hood. I always try and be careful over speed bumps because it has high performance tires, but it's a small price to pay for how safe I feel driving it.
Alvin B

Absolutely very good, and I really love my car.
There are nothing special problem of my vehicle, performance are very good, reliability, comfort and features extremely likely. Research Toyota cars, trucks and SUVs.... Performance award winner... 2019 corolla is a budget option without sacrificing safety features and comfort.... Fuel cell technology to the forefront, offering one of the most reliable and efficient rides.

Very fuel efficient. I like the size of the car and the space in the trunk for travel. Only complaint is I feel that the car has worse blind spots than other cars I have driven.
A wonderful and reliable car. Perfect for a student on a budget as I find it to be very fuel efficient.

My Matrix is a very comfortable, reliable and good looking car.
I feel the car has been very reliable accept, the compressor on the air conditioner just had to be replaced at $1500, which seemed bad to me. Other than that the car has been very reliable. I think the look of the car is very appealing. Even though it is a 9 year old car it is still stylish looking. The car's finish still looks brand new even though the car has never been kept in a garage. I think that it is a very good car. I will always buy a Toyota. The car also feels roomy and comfortable considering it is not a very big car, it feels big inside. I very much like that it is a hatchback, I find that very handy to have. Overall the Matrix has been a very good car!

Reliable but limited trunk space.
I love my car!! I do wish it had all wheel drive for iffy weather conditions. I also wish it had more trunk space. Tough even for a day trip to the beach with boogie boards and coolers. However, zippy has been a reliable member of our family for almost 8 years now.

Great size! Small enough to fit in small spaces and good on fuel economy, yet roomy inside and comfortable even for larger adults.
Such a great car! Has AWD and handles great in all weather conditions. Comfortable for larger and taller folks. Fold down seats in back and hatchback allow lots of space when needed. Thoughtful cup holders in front and back and on doors for bottled drinks. Easy to access accessories, including volume on steering wheel. Front seat has lumbar control. Sunroof is a great feature and can be full open or just slightly ajar. Can't say enough good things about this car.

The Matrix is a reliable modest Toyota. It has good features.

Comfortable for first car but many issues with programming arise.
Handles well, spacious for a hatchback. Often has recalls, air pressure light is finicky, not great mileage. Computer system for lights is wonky. My service engine light comes on often for no reason. Blows in the wind easily though. Wish it had some newer tech features as well.
Connor T
on December 18, 2018
It is all wheel drive, but it still gets about 30 mpg highway!
I like that the car is fairly compact, but I still fit inside with a lot of room. It is a hatchback and the seats fold down, so I can also store a lot of cargo. The vehicle has all-wheel drive, which is great for the winter.
Tamara J

Reliable and fun car with a surprising amount of cargo capacity.
It's a great car with a lot of room inside for carrying cargo and virtually maintenance free. I don't like the sport suspension on my current model though.
