Considered the Dodge Caliper A member from Washington, United States Best Reason to Buy the Toyota Matrix: Brand reputation & image First - irregardless of the negative press our country have been throwing at Toyota, this manufacturer have proven themselves to be #1 in dependability and lowest CPM year after year after year. IMHO the negative is shamefully 100% BS in an effort to swing US buyers away from the so much better and time proven Asian imports. 2) Ease of entry and exit, spacious rear seating, driving fun and the performance is more than adequate, AWD is perfect for our Pacific NW winter driving, hatchback is so convenient for our needs, fold down rear seats another HUGE PLUS!, attractive styling, we're not selling but the resale is and will be excellent. Best Reason Not to Buy the Toyota Matrix: Powertrain performance Honestly - I have read each and every catagory this site suggests and there is absolutely NO "CON"s I can share for this car. I was not disolutioned when we first bought the car. I did not expect it would be a luxury car - it cost $17000. I did not expect it would be a race car - it cost $17,000 and has an itty bitty 131CI inline 4 cylinder engine with AWD and an automatic transmission. Come on folks, the little Matrix didn't intend to be a power house. What the Toyota Matrix is - is a relatively inexpensive, slightly smaller than full size sedan, economical and dependable. It delivers the costs per mile (CPM) Toyota are famous for. PLEASE do not buy into the negative ads, they're BS!
