2003 Toyota Matrix XR 4WD review from North America
"You don't need an SUV when you have a Matrix"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
Model selected, 4 wd, a necessity for us, was said to be a "slow-poke" but such is not the case.
Loads of interior space and accomodates 5 full sized adults easily. More roomy than my Jimmy and runs on 1/2 the fuel.
Only criticisms are lack of cover on passenger's vanity mirror and lack of rear wheel disc brakes, but we'll go along with that as the rest of the car is great.
