 I had a Sienna before this Matrix.  The Sienna was the best vehicle I ever owned.  I can't say the same for the Matrix. The first 6,000 miles were great, no problems. Then it got cold and the noises started.  There was an air leak on the driver's window, the dash made noises, and it sounded like the windshield is going to fall out. Finally, the strut on the hatch failed. The dealer could not fix anything and they even made the problems worse. Toyota said they could not make the dealer fix the car, so now I have to make a several hour trip to get the car fixed somewhere else. I wish I would have bought a Honda!
