I bought this car in 2013 after my Saturn had completely died. I was in need of a car and did not have a lot to purchase with. The 2008 matrix had about 80k miles and only one owner, the price was right and with the brand I couldn't do much better. This car has been one of the most reliable vehicles I've ever owned and the most reliable used car I've ever owned. Mileage is good and it is a comfortable ride on my 2 hour commute. The stock stereo was good but I needed a little more so that's been the only real upgrade I've made. All in all this is a fantastic car for the money.
