What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Toyota Matrix

Price of the Toyota Matrix: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2005 4dr Hatch 123-horsepower 1.8L I4
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.
Price of the Toyota Matrix: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic AWD		 Price was $3000 more than the Elantra after the options were added.
2009 4dr Hatch 132-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Price was a little higher than I wanted but i guess you pay more for quality.

Price of the Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 4dr Wagon turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel
6-speed automated manual FWD		 Add a few options and it gets very close to the $30k bracket which puts it in competition with some much more refined machines.
2010 4dr Wagon turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel
6-speed manual FWD		 Without the federal tax credit and state sales tax deduction, this car would have been almost out of our budget range.
