Why should I also consider these? X

Through last year, there was a nearly identical Pontiac version of the Matrix, called the Vibe, but that model has been discontinued with the Pontiac brand.

The Scion xD, Toyota's own brand, is one of the top rivals to the Matrix.

It's based on the smaller Yaris hatchback but has a taller stance and a roomier interior than the Yaris.

The Honda Fit is a smaller vehicle, but its inherent roominess and trick Magic Seat arrangement kick it into the same group; it's fun to drive, too.

Otherwise, most of the rivals to the Matrix are more carlike.

The Mazda3 hatchback is more enjoyable to drive, but it has a tight backseat and sacrifices some cargo space for its rakish roofline.

It's been redesigned this year with even slicker design details and improved refinement.

All-wheel drive is standard on the Subaru Impreza, though even in hatchback form, it doesn't feel quite as roomy as the Matrix, while the new Elantra Touring is a tall-wagon version of the Elantra sedan and worth considering for those who want to maximize interior space while still getting good fuel economy.
