Nice used car

Vehicle delivers power and good internal size for passengers. Nice cargo space in back and especially when back seats folded down.

Great small car with lots of room

The Matrix is a great car with plenty of space and head room. Gas mileage is ok for the size and weight of the car. Good handling with the low profile tires. Lot of bang for the buck. Talk to other Matrix owners and they love their cars too. The motor is real peppy, maybe a little to peppy.

I love my '03 toyota matrix. For the first time in 12 yrs. I had a major repair, my starter went out. Up till then it never failed me, turning over with every turn of the key for 12rs. I have 122K miles on my Matrix and I expect to get more then 200k miles or more.

Foothill Foreign Auto will continue with the oil changes and maintenance as needed as long as I own my Matrix.

Excellent car

Now almost 14 years old, I still love it. My third Toyota that I've bought new and driven for 13+ years, I am a true fan! The matrix looks small but can hold a lot! A great car.

Best car EVER!

The above is a picture of the car I have. Believe me, it is the best car ever. It is 18, yes 18 yrs. old and besides routine maintenance, tires & brakes I never had a problem and the paint still looks like new. No one can believe it is that old. It just keeps on ticking. Toyota’s are the best if you want to keep your car for a long time. 250,000 mi. Is nothing for this car.

A gem, first of its kind. Why did they stop making it?

This was the first generation of a compact/ crossover car, much imitated by other auto makers. Interior design totally flexible, with advanced features; and styled with forward design. So much better than anything comparable on the market today.

I love my Matrix, just wish it had some pick up and go. I DO NOT like that the insurance companies have it labled ad a sports car, higher insurance rate ?

Old Reliable

Even though my matrix does not like anything like this picture (no cable ties or duct tape), it’s a reliable means of transportation. It has close to 300,000 miles. Keep up on your car’s maintenance and change fluids regularly and your car ? should last you a long time.
