What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2005 Toyota Matrix appreciate its reliability, spacious interior, and excellent gas mileage. Many drivers love the all-wheel drive feature, especially for snowy conditions. However, there are some concerns about performance, particularly with acceleration and handling in certain situations. Despite a few drawbacks, the Matrix is seen as a great value for money, making it well-suited for various driving needs."
This car is an all-around great car. It has great gas mileage, it has a lot of space in the car, and it has decent speed and performance. The car does 34 miles to the gallon. It's bright red, and the interior is alright. I just installed a new stereo system and everything and the music is great. I highly recommend this car if you need a reiable good looking car.
November 11, 2009The Toyota Matrix has some good pick up, and offers a lot of room and good gas mileage at a great price. Toyota'a are built to last, and this car will definitely be going years down the road. Very nice.
July 23, 2014At 6'9" tall it has head and leg room. Very dependable and AWD goes in any weather. Performance is not that great, but is a very good handeling car. The all wheel drive system is great, We will keep and hand down to the kids. Great investment!

January 25, 2010Dependable, standard not my favorite clutch work in traffic is annoying. Drove it to Phoenix from central canada and it was more comfortable than I thought it would have been. It did struggle in the mountains a 6 speed would get better gas mileage in my opinion. Good little car though all in all.
December 13, 2013perfect for camping or road trips. Lots of room. Great on gas. All i need to do is change the oil and regular maintenance (brakes, tires, lights etc..) thats it. Oh and no the gas pedal doesn't stick aha .. nice everyday car
August 4, 20101. I can carry just about anything in the trunk. The read seats and the front passenger side seat all fold forward. I fit a 9ft rug in there, and countless pieces of furniture. 2. I get about 24 MPG with my use of cruise control and my safe driving. 3. The all-wheel drive is a MUST for New England winters. I can get through any snow conditions. 4. This car is SOLID, and it looks great, too. 5. Maintenance very reasonable, and repairs are practically non-existent in the 4 years I've had my Matrix. 6. It doesn't have good pick-up, but it handles really well and is FUN to drive.
May 27, 2009Great car plebty of fun. only down side i have come across is the fact the the front tires slip so easily when its wet. but! great mpg regardless. the suspension is rough.. but i coluld care less about that. it does everything i want and need it to do. its a great long distance cruiser
November 25, 2009I love that it only takes $30 or less to fill up the tank. $10 fill up can take me very far. A/C is always cold. Not much maintenance to worry about. Oil change don't have to be changed until every 5000 miles.
March 30, 2015Very nice car! Clean inside and out. All wheel drive is great in the snow
October 23, 2021This is a good over all car. It can do almost anything you through at it. It can move just as much crap as a truck but can double as fun in th canyons when you are not halling stuff across town. It gets about 25 mpg on average but I have been told that I have a heavy foot. If you are going to modify somthing on this car hands down lowering it was the biggest help over all.
