CONS: NOTHING to complain about !

REVIEW: The v v t i engine is probably one of the smartest things Toyota ever came up with when putting the Matrix and Corolla together. I previously owned a 2000 Corolla, which I put 241,000 original miles on, and when I sold it in 2007, it was still running like the devil :-) The v v t i engine is one ...

CONS: i'll always desire better fuel economy until the car runs itself!

CONS: Rides like a covered lawn mower, so where your mouthguard on long trips to protect your teeth.

REVIEW: Terrible car. It is a covered lawn mower with about as much acceleration. It rides terribly harsh. I purchased this car new and finally had to get rid of it. I got a 2009 Equinox Sport. I only lost 4 MPG's average between a full size 2009 Equinox Sport and this piece of toyota junk. ...

CONS: Choppy noisey ride, small windows , loud engine

REVIEW: I rented a 2009 Matrix and drove 300 miles round trip, mainly freeway driving. It was raining on the way home and the lower body panels made noise. I have never had a stiff neck from any car but both my wife and I had stiff necks from the ride. The front seats are to firm. The car makes loud ...

CONS: rides like a soda can on wheels

REVIEW: My in-laws bought one of these new back in 2006. I purchased a 2007 Kia Rondo, in 2007. I paid less for the base model, got more room, a 3rd row seat, more power and a vehicle that sits a tad higher and is quite. Don't get me wrong, having worked on vehicles for over 25 years, and being ASE ...

REVIEW: Love my car, great for driving, parking, good pickup and love hatchback. Great little car for the money. Interior scratched easy, but took to car wash yesterday and had it treated. Looks great. Have a 4 Runner also. Love my Toyotas. Had a Solara for 10 years replaced a battery and timing chain, ...

CONS: Ride is choppy, Strut bushes wear out, Engine noise, Sunvisor is short

REVIEW: Not too great of a car as claimed. The handling is poor on corners, sunvisor is short, ride is choppy and bumpy, alot of engine noise, small driver's handrest and car rattles after about 50K miles. Ride not comparable to a sedan's. I think its manufactured on Corolla chasis. ...

CONS: Factory Tires Wear Down Fast (Within 1 year of purchase)

REVIEW: I read a lot of review about the Vibe. A lot of people said it's better to get the Vibe instead of the Matrix, because the Vibe is cheaper. I disagree. Toyota has a reputation for quality. GM carbon copied the interior of the Matrix. Pontiac isn't know for building good cars, or quality. ...
