2003 Toyota Matrix 4WD review from North America
"I have made the right choice, and would recommend this model to anyone else"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong. However, I have personally had 2 visibility issues:
1. The rear window does not come down as low as I'd like; It is hard to see how close the Matrix is to an obstacle behind.
2. With the odometers and temperature reading tucked deep into a hole they are difficult, under certain sun conditions, to read.
General comments?
The vehicle is friendly and reliable. The seats sit up comfortably, and are easy to get in and out of. The remote door-lock is very convenient.
It would not need to be so tall. I sit rather tall and have much headroom to spare.
I like the under-clearance.
