CONS: A little noisy, horn went out fast, paint seems to chip easy

REVIEW: I do a lot of driving (28k a year) so the car is good on gas for its class. The fold down rear seats are handy for larger items but it's kind of a tight squeeze when three people are sitting in the back. Also, I would have preferred if the rear flooring was flat rather than having that small ...

CONS: engine too small for weight of car-no guts with ac on

REVIEW: If you rolled a ball bearing along body panels it would drop through. Poor fit but looks good from a distance.Rear end was out of alingment from factory, dealer cobbled it up with shimms on axel. It goes down the hy-way straight now, but I am out of a set of tires. I am not a satisfied owner. I ...

CONS: None that I can think of

REVIEW: I purchased the 2006 XR, black sand pearl, automatic transmission, ABS. I LOVE THIS CAR!!! I play the drums and I have drum cases that add quite a bit of extra load and the Matrix can haul everything (Drums, Cymbals & Stands, Throne & Pedals, Etc...) with room to spare. The car rides ...

CONS: Can't think of any.....

REVIEW: Wow, I traded in my $60K Mercedez Benz for this basic Matrix. I must say, I've never been so excited. It can hold a bit more than my SUV but it has way more storage holders for stuff. It holds my surfboards and it waaaaaaaay more comfortable to drive than my SUV and the gas mileage is ...

REVIEW: Would love it if it had just a bit of "luxory" added in! I can't think of anything I don't like about my little Matrix. Whenever I get the "new car fever", I look at my Matrix and can't think of one reason to get anything else! ...

CONS: Flimsy body, bad fueleconomy,

REVIEW: I have never gotten as good a gas mileage as is advertised for this car...quite a bit worse in fact, as other owner have experienced, worse than my 1988 toyota camry. When I reported it to the dealership rep, he said the high fuel economy for this car has been set by the government So what? This ...

CONS: MPG not as good as reported, doors don't always close in the cold

REVIEW: I live in Alaska and so I imagine that some of the problems I am experiencing are due to our extreme cold weather. However, even in the summer, I have never gotten as good a gas mileage as is advertised for this car...quite a bit worse in fact. It is far better than my toyota tacoma I used to ...

CONS: I can't find anything negative to say about the car.

REVIEW: The Xrs model is what the Chevelle SS was in the late 60s. Its a family car, totally reliable, but when Dad (or Mom) want to let it all hang out, it will fly. This car is a total sleeper. When some youngster pulls up next to me at a red light, with a loud coffee can exhaust, gunning his weak Honda ...
