I enjoy my Matrix. This is my first car. I am upset that they have decided to discontinue the model. I believe they are making a mistake unless they replace it with something similar. We will see what they unveil.

Performance: Slick handling only in good weather. Tires act like pontoons in rain. Acceleration leaves something to be desired. Braking is good. Build Quality: Have not needed any repairs (except for routine maintenence). However, after having the vehicle, it has already begun to develop a squeaking noise when it idles (eg at traffic lights, in parking lots, etc.). Appearance: It's pretty sharp both interior and exterior, but there is one factor about the inside that I dislike...The speakers are on the floor! It makes the sound quality appear warped. Cost of Ownership: Decent on gas, but it doesn't get the mileage it should (Gauged at 42 MPG, only gets about 35 MPG). It does require an oil change and tire rotation every 6 months. Fun Factor: Yeah, it's a decent car to get around in, although I wouldn't call it "fun" to drive.
