the best vehicle ever owned

I purchased this 2008 Matrix 15 years ago. Currently has 115000 miles. I think if I continue to do the maintenance, It could likely go 200,000 miles. It is by far the best automobile I have ever owned.

08 Toyota Matrix

Second Toyota Matrix that I bought, used. Like the cargo space. Good on gas. 2004 and 2008 had the same cosmetic problems. You would think that after 4 years, Toyota would have improved the minor things, but I still like the Matrix.

Great car!

I bought this car new in March of 2008. It has been a great car. At almost 250,000 miles I replaced the cattaytic converter in 2020 but everything else has been routine maintenance. I would have preferred a manual transmission but I got a great price so took the automatic.

Well engineered and reliable

2008 Matrix: Have been very pleased. Excellent form to function, lot of driving up and down the Columbia Gorge. No frills and a little noisy, 35 mpg on freeway. Previously had a Corolla Wagon. This is basically the same thing with a little more stylish body.

2008 Matrix

Best car I have ever owned. It only had 7000 miles on it when I bought it in 2008 I've used for everything: hauling lumber, hauling lawn mower. It had a minimum amount of repairs, nothing major, just routine maintenance: oil, battery, tires, breaks etc.

I love it!

I bought my car when it was brand new. I've now had it for 10 years and it runs as well as it did when I first got it! I'm very pleased with it except I wish it was a bit bigger. I know that I will be looking at Toyotas again when I need a new one!

Great automobile! After all, it's a Toyota ~

I bought my 2008 Matrix back in the fall of 2007. I had owned a Toyota Paseo for 15 years prior, and so it was great to have this spacious auto. I had read a lot about it before I purchased it, and liked how the back seats (they are split) and the front passenger seat folds COMPLETELY FLAT! That's right, no hump from the seat being folded over like a lot of vehicles, so hauling items is made that much easier. It has a lot of get up and go, gets great gas milage, doesn't burn any oil, easy to handle, and FUN TO DRIVE! The only drawback is in snow. The front spoiler prevents the car from going easily when there is quite a bit of snow on the ground as it builds up underneath and is a drag to deal with. Otherwise, I love the Goodyear Eagle GT tires, the handling, stereo and sunroof! Well made, easy to get in and out of for anyone who has difficulty with some vehicles that are so low to the ground. I am very happy with this car, and will probably hang onto it for many years. If and when I need a new vehicle, I am certain that I will purchase another Toyota. I had my Celica GT liftback that was totally fun and awesome to drive, never any problems, my Paseo, never any problems & being a very small car it was amazing the things I could haul in it! And now my Matrix. Love it to pieces! So glad I own it.

2008 Toyota Matrix

I LOVE my Matrix. Never needs extra repair/attention. Trouble free. Perfect size. Easy to access everything. Comfortable for driver and passengers. Hatchback the best! Terrible day in my life when I wanted to upgrade to newer Matrix to find THEY'RE NOT EVEN MADE ANY MORE!!!!

A "bulletproof" car

2008 Matrix XR. 30+ mpg. Easy to maintain, no service issues, hence "bulletproof". Could use another 50 horsepower. Love the hatchback and fold down rear seats. Wish a sunroof was an option

Ms

I got this car new on a lease, and bought it at the end because I loved it so much. Have had it 8 years now and still going strong, very little put into it, good mileage, cute car. It's only flaw for me is noisy cabin on the highway, otherwise no complaints. It's a small car, won't ride like a luxury or SUV but not bad, have done dozens of trips in it just fine.
