4-speed automatic AWD		 The Matrix price represents good value for the features and quality.
2004 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Lease payments were very low.
2004 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 In the summer of 2007, I bought this car from a Lincoln-Mercury dealership that had taken it in trade - for $8,995. The car was (and still is) in excellent condition.
2003 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 It was pretty cheap to buy - $8000.
2003 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 Climate control & stereo system in base model. Rear wipers and defrost should be standard. Rear window becomes translucent with heavy rain or snow, which can be cleared easily by 1-3 wiper cycles.
2003 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 The Matrix was an affordable car. At the time, there were very few options under $20k that met all our needs.
