The Toyota Matrix comes with the Toyota reliability. It is very roomy for a hatchback car. Fits four people very comfortably and has room for groceries and luggage. I like the handling of the car. The price range was great.

My 2007 Toyota Matrix has been the best car I have ever owned, and I am now committed to the brand because of this. My car has over 120,000 miles on it, and thus far, has never needed any serious repairs. I have only had to do regular maintenance repairs like brake pad replacements and oil changes. I have had to make a few minor repairs such as sealing up some tubing from the A/C with silicone because it was leaking, but it has been an extremely low cost car to own and has never let me down. I love the design of the car especially the hatchback. I like that the back of the rear seats. When you lay down the seats, you have a large flat space to put things. I used to carry my bike in it easily, and now I can fit a child's wheelchair and stroller in the back without laying down the seats.
