2005 Toyota Matrix XR review from North America
"A squished SUV with excellent gas millage"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with the car.
General comments?
The car handles very well around corners and has better power than the 2004 model. They have fixed problems such as compartment doors not closing. It gets wonderful gas mileage and is a fun car to drive.
The seats hug you and the modern dashboard is easy on the eyes. The new tail lights are very European.
The finish is flawless and with the dealer tinting it's beautiful and slick looking.
