Yes, location matters. 20 years ago I had occasion to compare some engine work (timing belt replacement) in a rural area 50 miles north of Pittsburgh, PA...
For me, my 2003 Toyota Matrix is a work-horse. It is a perfect size for my needs. We load about 200 pounds of equipment in it, and go. The large boxes slide...
I took delivery on Tuesday of my shiny black 2010 Matrix. Went with the "base" model, but only had to add cruise and I'm very happy. Still learning about how...
How are they still running at this point?  My 2007 Matrix has just over 50,000 miles on it. I've never given it a tune-up, just oil changes regularly. Is...
I traded my 06 Matrix on a 2009 Corolla S in January. Great car but every few days something comes up and I really miss the Matrix. Hauling something is...
Hello Diane, I've got 122,000 mi on my Vibe (same as Matrix drivetrain). 1. I've replaced the front brake pads/rotors once @ 72,000 miles 2. Replaced the rear...
It would be interesting if a kit was produced. I think I would try it once the useful life of the current combustion engine was over. Here is one for the...
You can add me to the list of interested. are we talking a hybrid coversion or full electric? I dont like the new matrix as well as my 03 and being able to...
I wonder if anyone else has experienced a grinding sound on their brakes at 50,000 miles? It's just slight at this point, and at the end of the braking and...
The company below is touting full electric conversion. It means pulling out the guts of the FWD combustion engine/drivetrain. Making an existing full...
Re: Grinding sound on brakes at 50,000 miles My cars (front brakes) of the past on average lasted 45,000 miles. My rear brakes lasted 95,000 mi on the Vibe....
Yes, I have a 2005 Matrix XR. Best car I have ever had as far as durability, low maintainence, and mileage. Still runs great, but I turned 300 thousand about...
I posted a msg here recently, but for some reason, it seems to have been removed. I have a 2005 Matrix RX that has 312,1580 miles on it. The speedo stops at...
It might be time to have the front brakes done but that will depend on home you drive. I do a lot of stop and go driving and break a little to hard. I just...
Wow, 312,000 miles and still running great! That's heartening to hear. Means my 2007 Matrix with 50,000 miles on it is just a baby still.  I don't think...
Wow... that's amazing! 300 thousand miles... I have a 2006 XR and I', just turning 53K. ... From: jminwv <jminwv@...> Subject: [Toyota_Matrix] Speedo...
You folks who have kept your Matrix going for that many miles, I'm wondering what you did for your cars to keep them performing well for so long? Just give...
I'd like to follow up: what's the highest mileage on list with the 2ZZGE engine (XRS, in other words?) Â I am at 93K with my '04 XRS. Also, has anyone seen a...
I only have 92K miles on my Matrix, but I have put 250K miles on Volvo 240s several times, and have a 247K mile Ford Aerostar (engine changed from original at...
same here, but I load 700# on my 03 trix, passengers not included, for 1K long trips and the thing rocks. I have 80K on it. Most of those 80K are long haul...
if you buy another trix let us know. Its a touch different from the 03 types, and the rear deck is no longer flush, making loading heavy loads a bit more...
there is usually something on the brake pads to make a horrible noise when its down to needing replacement. In my state, there is annual brake inspection so I...
The matrix isn't the prettiest car, but for GP use its great, and its better than the 2009 model, without the split opening rear window and hatchback. I will...
Don't misunderstand, the Corolla is good but I miss the utility abilities of the Matrix. I wanted one bad in 04-06 and then bought one. I can't believe I...
It's my first! I took it on a bit of a road trip the last two days, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The handling in the city was great, and it had plenty of pep...
