2002 Toyota Matrix

Partly a car, a wagon, minivan and SUV, Toyota Matrix was introduced in 2002 as a 2003 model. It is based on the Toyota Corolla and built in California. Aimed at younger buyers, Toyota claims that it is a powerful combination of the style and performance of sports car, the performance of SUV and the affordability of sedan cars..

Adjustable seat supports reclines easily for comfortable travels. The driver's seat height is good for posture and easy driving. It has large interiors to accommodate 5 passengers and cargoes that can be maximized by folding the seats. Entertainment system is a great plus though buttons and keys are difficult to understand. Safety system includes optional side-impact airbags and anti-lock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution.

 

Unlike the smoothness and quietness of Corolla, Matrix buzzy sound lets you feel every bump in the road. Cruise-control functions handle long distance travel . The car costs over $21.000 with almost all options.
