Low Cost, Even Lower Quality

"The Matrix is a car I wanted to like. It looked funky and seemed to be a great value. But since I drove it off the dealer lot I have been really disappointed. The millage is lousy for a small car.

Though mechanically similar to the Pontiac Vibe, the 2009 Toyota Matrix has different styling inside and out, as well as some minor differences in equipment. Its exterior styling in particular is smoother and cleaner, without overtly flared wheel wells like the Vibe. In nearly all other attributes, the two vehicles are virtually identical.

The Spectra also stands out for its long warranty, especially its ten-year/100,000-mile powertrain coverage. The Subaru Impreza hatchback is also a worthy alternative to the Matrix; though it's somewhat more expensive, the Impreza has standard all-wheel drive, a torquey flat-four engine, and an enviable safety and reliability record.
