2004 Toyota Matrix xr review from North America
"Very good, the wagon part of the car is outstanding"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No defects or problems.
General comments?
In spite of huge tires and firm suspension it handles at best average.
My old 95 Neon could out handle it.
While all the switches have a nice quality feel, they need to be consistent. One switch move up for on and another one down for on. It needs
to be simple. The radio is way to complex. Remember I'm driving when I use the radio. Sounds great and has lot range.
Car is quiet.
The oil has 4000 miles on it, still
honey gold and is on the full mark!
The engine needs more power. My old Neon was much faster.
