Used 2003 Toyota Matrix for Sale near Tracy, CA

Altho the XRS is equipped with the same engine as a Lotus Exige, the weight of the Matrix cuts down the performances. If Toyota really wanted to make a sport version of this car, they should have kept the 4 wheels drive avaiable with the 180 hp engine / 6 speeds transmission. And still, the Rav-4 sport is now equipped with a 269 hp V6 engine. Add that in a Matrix and we would be talking about performances. Impreza and the likes would be put to shame. Still, this car is among the best value/quality car one can buy.

I own the XRS 6 - speed manual, definitely a lot of fun. It accelerates well and takes turns pretty good. It needs a new clutch at the moment, but overall, it has been great. It's OK on the mpg - only around 27 depending on how you drive. Can move a lot of stuff - I managed to get a love seat in the back! Would recommend again.

Great vehicle especially with the sunroof. Wish it had more power though

Clutch and tires wear a little fast, 28mpg, have had pulley/belt noise from day 1. It's quick, hardy, mechanically wonderful, has never left me stranded. Little plastic things have broken all over inside the car. Ground effex are thrashed from clearance issues. Interior is big enough to move anything and put in lots of extras. I love this car! It hugs the road and the handling is responsive. Glad I bought the XRS. I appreciate that while it lacks a little power, there are many things I can do to this car to make it faster.

What more can i say but i love it lol. It gets me where i need to go and it has not done me wrong yet. Its a great lil family car and like i said what more can i say but i love it!
