Used 2008 Toyota Matrix Base for Sale near Chicago, IL

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.

Great gas milelage. 26 city/32 highway. i have it in black. 126 hp. base model. Engine is noisy. overall great car.

I love it. It is very comfortable on a long road trip and a great carrier for shopping.

I love it, it gets great gas mileage 31 miles to the gallon, it has alot of room....and it handles great sticks to the road...the performance is awesome the brakes work like magic and im just glad i have it....I think i deserve it.
