Model/Year:

2005 Toyota Matrix XR

General experience:

It’s got a sporty look, but I would like it to have a better engine. Sometimes I lack the power when I have 4 passengers and go uphill on the mountain road. It goes okay, but could be a little better. Well, this is the only discomfort to mention about Toyota Matrix. I’ve been having this car for a while and now I’m thinking to change it. I’ll probably take Toyota Matrix 2009 with more powerful engine to feel more confident on our mountains roads near my village. Why I like Matrix that much? – Because of the look and the compact size. It turns out to have plenty room inside out of sudden when you get inside. I also like it because everything’s made solid and every detail in interior and exterior underlines my personality and is designed for my comfort. The ride is good even in bad weather which is important in my area. The 5 speed transmission is also good and reliable. I just love this car!

Pros and cons:

+ Sporty look, plenty room, 25mpg on highway is great. Good planned interior, safe ride.

-  Weak engine is sometimes not enough for me.
