Might be easier to use a vaccum cleaner, suck out the bottom randomly, use a new bag and check it. If its a bagless vacuum cleaner with a long hose ...
If you remember, my wife and I have two base manual 2005 Matrixes. Hers has 20k and the tires were bald when replaced. The dealership put on Yokohamas at cost...
Go with www.tirerack.com and get them delivered. I got four Fuzion high performance all season 215/50-17 tires, with shipping and road hazard for $391.88. It...

I bought my last set of tires (4 snows + steel wheels) at a local (regional) shop (NTB). I told the sales guy I knew what I wanted and had priced it out at...
Thanks Karl. That's close to what I've found. Users can compare by going to NTB website and see the tires prices per ZIP code. ... Thanks Karl. That's close...
I paid $60 to get all four tires mounted. It was still cheaper than the 16" tires they had to sell me and I ended up with 17" high performance tires. I could...
My husband and I went to see Clerks II Saturday night, and before the movie started there was a commercial for our beloved Matrix. It was definitely awesome to...
Do you know why the XRS is being phased out? I live in California and there was never any GPS system for any of the Matrix. Are you guys up in Canada? Art Zinn...
... My dealer told me a few months ago that the Matrix is being phased out altogether, and that the 1997 is the last model year. The Pontiac Vibe is being...
Interesting view, and I have a feeling you're right. Promotion for this car after 2004 was kinda low compared to its other models; in 2004 competing cars from...
As for the lack of advertising, I would guess it is a simple matter of their supply being inadequate for the demand. Advertising increases demand, so you...
I think another issue is that if the Matrix is not redesigned but discontinued, its because the Matrix design competes against Toyota by sharing its reputation...

Me too. At the time there was no waiting. Its not been that way since 2004. In my case, I wear the dealers down by bidding themselves against each other via...
I hope so, but that Mototrend note is just their prediction for 2008. I think they don't want to pull the model, but having their own car compete against...
I'm surprised how stable it is in my use for rain and snow. The only issue I have is the stock tires are not as good as it could be, but newer models have...
As with any car, you will do best to get a set of winter tires mounted on steel wheels. I went with the stock size on steel wheels (205/55-R16) but I wish I...
I bought mine used; it was the only non-automatic car the Toyota dealer had on his lot! None of the other ones in town had any sticks, either. And the local...
I got a stick too, and that's partially how I was able to deal because dealers say its hard to sell sticks. They said when they 'stock', at least ONE vehicle...
