2002 Toyota Matrix XRS review from North America

"An extreme value in a pleasant package"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Lots of rattles, but nothing that can't be remedied.

General comments?

The Matrix XRS is an absolutely fantastic vehicle. The 180 horsepower engine coupled with the 6 speed manual transmission make for a very fun ride. It handles well and is very nimble. Toyota has hit the mark with the Matrix in regards to versatility and performance. It has seating for 5, yet can still carry a vast amount of cargo when needed. It get great gas milage as well. I average 30 miles per gallon around town and 35 miles per gallon or more on the highway. Finally, the Matrix looks incredible! With the optional body kit, the Matrix possesses an aggressive look. And the Toyota made sure that it can back up its appearance.
