Used Toyota Matrix for Sale

I really like the sturdiness of my 2006 Toyota Matrix. The car is well built. When I drive it, the ride is smooth and the outside noises stay outside. All the major parts on the car seem to be in good working order. Since, buying the car, even though it has 123,000 miles, there have been few problems due to poor manufacturing. Any problems the car has had have largely been as a result of my own fault.

I love this car. I regularly transport 2-4 medium/large sized dogs in it. Even with dogs and crates, I can still pack a full set of camping gear and dog training supplies. I've never gone on a trip and not had enough room to pack everything I wanted. In a pinch I can even sleep in the back, and I'm six feet tall. Mechanically, it's a great car. It gets about 33 mi/gallon on the highway and about 27-30 city driving. I've put 40k miles on it in three years. Other than a new battery and a new set of tires, it hasn't needed anything else than routine maintenance. I'm a very tall person, and it is extremely comfortable to drive. I love where the gear shift is located.

My car is pretty old, but I was lucky enough to be able to buy it cash off a friend. Although I would like to own a newer car with more features, I'm overall happy with my car as it is. I definitely prefer a low maintenance car, and I like that I don't have to put too much work into repairs and upkeep. My car is a stick shift which can be fun, but I definitely think I want an automatic for my next car. The car I had previously was incredibly basic and did not have A/C or power windows. In that sense, my car is definitely an upgrade, and those two simple features were why I chose to buy it (and the price was right). One issue I've had with this car is spiders--for some reason, spiders keep hiding out in my side mirrors, and nothing I do will get rid of them. While I'm sure it's not entirely the car's fault, the mirrors are tricky to move, and I've never had this issue before I started driving this car.
