Overview
For 2004, the Toyota Matrix saw only a few changes, including the availability of an in-dash CD player in the standard and XR models, and the availability of a navigation system in the XRS. The XRS engine also saw a slight decrease in horsepower.
The 2004 Toyota Matrix is available in three trim levels: the standard, the XR, and the XRS. The standard and the XR share the same engine with the Corolla, a 1.8-liter, four-cylinder with 130 horses. All-wheel drive knocks the horsepower down to 123, while the XRS gets 170 horses. Upgrading to the XR gets power windows, mirrors, and locks; a remote key fob; and a rear wiper, while the top-of-the-line XRS comes with 16-inch alloy wheels, anti-lock breaks, and a six-speed manual transmission. The XRS is available only in front-wheel drive. Fuel economy is about 29-34 miles per gallon.
Drivers like the 2004 Matrix for its style, cargo space, and gas mileage. They also appreciate that old reliable Toyota is trying something new with the Matrix. Owners frequently complain about dash gauge readability and a lack of engine power (except in the XRS. Shorter drivers also say that there is poor visibility to the sides and rear

Reviewed a 2004 Toyota FWD on Feb 10, 2009
purchased vehicle used in 2006.It had 82000 kilometers (49000 miles) on odometer when purchased.Immediately changed oil to Mobil 1 5-W-30 synthetic, drove for a week & changed again.Oil & synthetic filter is changed every 4 months, regardless of mileage, & goes down the width of a toothpick between changes. This is february 2009, there is now 126,400 kilometers (75600 miles) on vehicle & still running like day I bought it! I did change spark plugs (replaced with factory originals)when I purchased it. I quite regularily make a 240 mile trip north form my home, half on 4 & 6 lane hyway & half on 2 lane secondary (paved) roads. 4 lane speeds run from 110 kilo (66app mile per hour) up to 130 kilo (80app mph) & the vehicle handles great. I always average between 40 miles per gallon & 45 miles per gallon on these trips !! I convert litres to gallons using 1 gallon = 4.5 liters, which is very close to an american gallon of liquid! My only complaint? The seat gets a little hard on the derriere on long trips. solution... purchased after market plugin heated seat cushion Insert satisfied smile here ! :) Maintenance... change the oil & filter every 4 months & check tire pressure regularily. install K&N filter, clean & re-oil once a year & save your money! Fun to Drive... Darn straight it is. very decent acceleration (if I wanted to get to 60 miles an hour in 3 seconds, I would have bought a Ferrari) Very stable on hyway with no wandering or lurching around.Steering is fast & accurate(I have General 205-55-16 all season tires, they work just fine for me) & are wearing evenly (rotate every 2nd oil change) I plan on keeping this vehicle forever, & given the performance so far, that seems to be a reality more so than wishful thinking! Recommend to a friend ? Heck... I would recommend it to anyone who wants decent performance, good reliability, & excellent fuel mileage in a daily driver. I am 68 years old, have driven vehicles since I was 12 years old on the farm, have owned a trillion vehicles over all those years. I was an automotive bodyman for over 35 years, so I feel qualified to write a review, & NO, Toyota doesn't even know me, let alone throw a chunk of change my way for this review! (I wish) By the way.. I live in Ontario, Canada, so operating a vehicle in extrems of temperatures is the norm (think 20 below 0 for days at a time, & 80 above in summer !)

I really like my 04 matrix which we purchased used. It is a nice family car. It really has a lot of power for such a small engine. I think the turning radius is pretty bad, small inconveniences like some of the storage bins fall open often and the engine light comes on for ridiculous reasons like the gas cap not being tight enough. Otherwise I love it.

Thoroughly enjoyed this car. Regular maintenance resulted in reliability and cost savings at the end of the day. Had absolutely no major mechanical or engine problems. Car has performed in an excellent and dependable manner. We regret having to part with it due to our need for a larger sedan to accommodate our three young grandchildren.
