2010 Toyota Matrix Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2010 Toyota Matrix appreciate its reliability, practicality, and fun handling. Many drivers commend its solid performance and fuel economy, along with the spacious interior, especially when the seats are folded down. However, some find the car's design to be a bit dated and mention that the center console could be improved."
A basic but reliable vehicle, gets the job done without you having to worry about breaking the bank.
April 6, 2025This is one of the best cars I have ever owned. It looked great and stylish from the day we got it to two years later covered in snow. It's sporty, fun to drive, handles well and can hold a bunch of stuff. Lay flat back seats really makes a nice option for transporting larger items. Toyota reliability means a lot to me; I have owned 4 in a row and never have any issues with them. Doing all the regular maintenance helps and keep from having any issues later. Just a fantastic vehicle all around.
January 30, 2013I just wrecked my Matrix in what could have been a bad accident, and walked away with barely a sore neck. I loved this little car so much and it protected me so well at the end! Its incredibly reliable, and even the base model feels sporty and zippy to drive- this car is deceptively fast. Its also deceptively spacious; Im a handyman, and ran my business from it, no need for a truck. I took it on months-long road trips and with the seats flat slept quite comfortably in the back (tho admittedly Im on the short side). Rarely gave me any problems and never left me stranded. 9.5 out of 10; the only thing keeping it from being a perfect car is the absolutely awful center console -they shouldve just gone with the 00s camry setup, which was perfect.

December 7, 2023Good solid car. Decent gas mileage, reliable Toyota engineering, roomy enough for hauling stuff (especially with all seats folded down), yet small enough for easy parking and maneuvering city streets.
April 6, 2022Great overall no frills vehicle...especially like how it handles.... .good value for the money.
March 22, 2021Fun to drive. Handles well even in the snow. Good amount of aftermarket parts to customize. Decent gas mileage.
June 25, 2022I really like this car, and wish Toyota hadn't given up on it. The new Corolla is nice, but with only one engine and no hatchback version, they are missing out on alot of buyers. A new version of the Matrix would sell well with the right equipment and upgrades.
August 31, 2014Under the hood, its very simple do one might be able to do their maintenance on their own and it seems that this vehicle will last a long time
January 17, 2022Nice tight unit. Handles great. Good pickup! Great value
May 12, 2023Nice car but a bit dated looking.Toyotas are reliable but getting a bit overpriced still a much better value than most other brands.
