 We bought the Matrix because we travel and it had the room we needed and thought it would get the gas mileage we wanted.Okay-1 out of 2.But the car is a death trap.We've had 4 accidents because of the blind spots.A salesman from Toyota called and asked if I would be interested in trading my car--I told him no one would want it and I wouldn't want to sell this car to an unsuspecting innocent person.I've had several Toyotas and never had a complaint.But the only thing I can find positive besides it starting everyday, is the handle to close the hatchback and the abundance of drink holders.Starting everyday is good!
