Toyota Matrix - 2007 Review

Bought this Matrix used with only 8K and the original warranty - traded in my turbo 07 Forester which required premium gas and got 22mpg when premium went to $4.50/gallon. Computed the mpg on the Matrix with the first fill-up - got 36mpg!!!  I love this car. I consistently get 32-36 mpg combined.It's got a sunroof --miss the AWD of the Forester but got such a deal on the Matrix - bought snow tires and traction now as good as AWD.

Favorite Features

For some reason I love the looks of the Matrix more than the Vibe - I smile whenever I see mine or others out on the road. Mine is sky blue, love the color. Love the ride. Love the interior space. Love the features and reliability. Most of the same features as Subaru but cheaper - better value!

Good mileage, comfortable. Excellent storage inside, good dog car (cleans easily, good spot for the dog in the back).Interior. Sound system sounds pretty good for factory system. High mpg.
