Toyota Matrix Reliability through December 31, 2012

An asterisk (*) marks results based on small sample sizes.

General NotesModels and statistics marked with an asterisk (*) have very low sample sizes. These results, visible only to logged-in members, provide only a rough estimate of car reliability.

Any result under 20 repair trips per 100 cars is likely a result of the small sample size, and should be expected to increase to 20 or so in future updates.

New models often start out with high repair rates, and then improve as the manufacturer identifies and addresses common problems. MethodologyOnly successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Routine maintenance, most wear items, recalls, and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

What Our Members Are Saying about Toyota Matrix Reliability and Durability

Reliability and Durability of the Toyota Matrix: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr Hatch 132-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 good reputation
2009 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 Proven toyota reliability.
2006 4dr Hatch 118-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic AWD		 This catagory is the #1 reason we looked at Toyota when we were new car shopping in 2006. Dependability and Resale. As I mentioned earlier, we're at 82,000 miles and have kept on top of the manufacturer suggested regular maintenance - oil/filters changes, transmission/transfer case fluids changes, coolant and refrigerant changes, brakes at 45,000miles, etc. We have had 100% dependability with this little rascal and it has NOT failed to start and give us a ride,,,, ever. The Toyota Matrix delivers what we had hoped and what we expected it would.
2006 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 I have had no issues with the Matrix. Never had to bring for repairs on anything, just oil and filter changes.
2005 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Excellent reviews, have not had any problems so far.
2005 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 so far no real mechanical issues. There was a hard start issue which Toyota/dealership eventually admitted and corrected after many attempts and denial that this problem existed
2005 4dr Hatch 123-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic AWD		 We have had uniformly good experience with Toyotas.
2004 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Had my Matrix for 5 years 88000 miles, all i did was normal maintenance. never had a problem
2004 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 I have not had to put money into repairs!
2004 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Had the car for 4 years never had major repair.
2004 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Toyotas are known for reliability and durability; this car replaced a 14-year-old Toyota with 180,000 miles (and going strong). I bought this Matrix with 73,000 miles, and expect to get over 200,000 out of it.
2003 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 Not one major repair issue; only state inspection and oil changes since bought new. 90K mi, car is going on 8th year.
2003 4dr Hatch 123-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic AWD		 It has been flawless, no issues or problems at all.
2003 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 It runs and runs with minimal time in the shop
Reliability and Durability of the Toyota Matrix: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2003 4dr Hatch 180-horsepower 1.8L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 see all of the above comments - 5 serpentine belts in 53,000 km.
