CONS: MPD. OEM Tires, Paint, Seat Comfort, Blind Spots

REVIEW: I purchased a 2009 S AWD in July 2009 and now have 40,917 miles on the clock. Mechanically, the car has been great. No breakdowns or recalls. The car also provides excellent all weather traction. On the down side, the gas tank is small, only 13 gallons which limits long drive range. I am ...

CONS: Compartments are odd sized

REVIEW: This car is fast, sleek and holds a lot with the rear seats that fold flat. I can load up my 3 large dogs and still have room for a passenger and belongings. Sunglass compartment is odd shaped, that doesn't fit anything of use, another compartment on left side of steering wheel that doesn' ...

CONS: Seat fabric shows water spots.

REVIEW: I love this car! I bought it used from the dealer loaner inventory with 20,000 miles on it; traded in a VW beatle convertible. I don't like big cars/trucks but I wanted something that I could haul around dogs, bikes, landscaping supplies, etc. This car is perfect. Rear seats fold flat; so ...

CONS: Ride was to harsh for us and the handeling was below average for a small car

REVIEW: We rented a Matrix for 4 weeks while in Florida last month. The car did not handled as well as we though it should. The car was also noisy and cheap sounding inside even on smooth roads. The interior was very plastic like and made rattleing noises. This drove my wife crazy after a few days. The ...

CONS: Clock is in a poor location. Can be a bit noisy over rough ground.

REVIEW: Got the car new. I love the hatch back. A lot wider than the Ford Focus. It is better on the gas than the Ford Focus I used to have. I had 3 other guys and hiking gear and did not look power going uphill on mountain roads. I did get the black bumper protector and it looks better. Also ...

CONS: plastic seems cheap, road noise and the exhaust is a little rough

REVIEW: Good car overall, bought mine used and it has really held up. Inside is a little cheap but it has held up and can holds lots of cargo. ...

CONS: Clutch position is to far right

REVIEW: Never a problem in 3 years. With all the seats dowm totally flat including the passengers it has a jumbo cargo space. Best overall car I ever had; great looks, confort, utility and milage. Affordable, efficient, dependable sports car, SUV and station wagon combined. The best of all worlds. ...

CONS: Noisy, Cheap Interior Plastics, Horrible Speakers

REVIEW: I had the misfortune of renting a Matrix for a week. The car handled well but was unbelievably noisy. The stereo system was pathetic and the seat belt moldings were falling off! If this if this so-called "Toyota Quality" that people rave about, I'll stick to Domestics. ...

CONS: Standard tires ride rough; poor material trim on dash and doors

REVIEW: The first change I made was to 18x8 Motegi chrome rims w/Goodyear Eagle GT 235/40R 18 which I purchassed from the Tirerack. This got rid of the road noise, significantly improved ride and handling. I added the factory rear spoiler and tinted the windows. I get compliments and the "what kind ...
