Used 2004 Toyota Matrix for Sale

The Matrix has provided a comfortable, safe feeling ride since we bought it a couple months ago. It drives smooth, even over the many speed bumps of San Antonio. I don't feel jostled around when driving over bumps. It's also not too low to the ground and doesn't grind when going over speed bumps. This is not a fast accelerating vehicle- making it perfect for new drivers (IE teens!) And those who don't need to get up and go. It does accelerate appropriately for the highway but is far from being a race car. With proper maintenance this has been a reliable car. Less than a day after purchasing it, the transmission light came on, which is normally a major issue. After troubleshooting with at the Toyota dealership, they recommended changing the transmission fluid as a low cost, temporary fix. It turned out the fluid hadn't been changed in what looked like years so this fixed the issue (no light in three months).

I purchased this car several years ago, used. It had a warranty via Toyota that was just as good as one for a new car. It was grey, four door, and a hatchback. I used it to move multiple times with no problem. Providing routine maintenance made it run just fine. I always felt safe in it, no matter what the weather. It had such a great capacity for storage. I am active in animal rescue and could fit ten cat carriers in it when I volunteer for our monthly spay neuter clinic. Volunteers with bigger cars could not fit as many carriers in their over priced cars as I could. I need another car soon, but I want another Toyota Matrix. I hope that the new models are just as good as the one that I purchased. The car has driven well in all kinds of weather, and with all types of passengers. Tune-ups are regular things that you should have done, but other than those, I have never had to fix it. It is a perfect car. It is also a safe car, a very safe car. It is roomy, and since I am tall, that is important. I never felt squished. Really, for such a small car it has so much room inside. I recommend it to everyone. It is a great car. Cannot say enough good things about it.
