2003 Toyota Matrix review from North America
"A no worries vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing...aside from me whacking the side mirrors. Paint seems to be very sensitive to scratches.
General comments?
I just moved from Los Angeles to Washington State in very hot weather. The car hummed along beautifully, handling mountain climbs in 90 degree + weather with ease. Has not missed a beat once hear either. Loading boxes and furniture in the back has been great. A little less room (height wise) than the jeep's back end, but have manged very well.
