Hi, Am looking for the OEM hood deflector but it seems it can only be had in Canada from what I've discovered so far. Your email says "...found that the dealer...
Just to update everyone, I did more research and found that the OEM hood deflector I was after is actually made by Focus Auto Design (Canadian company). I...
My last 3 cars before I got a 2003 matrix had leather upholstery and it is something I grew to like. Stays clean, wears better, friendly to skin etc. Just...
Hello to you all. I'm currently in the market for a new car and have narrowed my choice down to the Toyota Matrix or the Mazda3. I'm having a really tough...
... How are the cars you're considering, equipped? Which engine in the Mazda, for instance? (2.0 or 2.3?) Manual or automatic? 5 or 6 speed? How your Matrix...
Thanks for your very thorough reply! I will be buying an automatic, so the clutch problem you mention will be no problem. And I do like the extra cargo room...
Consumer Reports likes both cars. The Mazda3 is slightly faster and handles slightly better. Both are very reliable (the Matrix/Vibe predicted to be...
I find leather comfortable to feel but I don't think its better than cotton seats. Overexposed to the sun it will crack, its easier to wipe clean true, but...
Exactly. They rate so close to the same, that it's a very tough call. They even look a lot alike, except I think the Mazda3 has slightly more "refined"...
I love my Matrix and would only consider downgrading to a smaller car because of how much I travel back and forth to NJ. I paid about $20K for the XRS in 2002....
I bought my 2007 Indigo Ink Matrix (2wd) XR (automatic) during Dec. 06 and I paid about $18k out the door price. i also got the cruise control, fog lamp,...
Whoa. You got a 2007 Matrix XR for $18K out the door??? I think I should deal harder for less than that, much, for the base model. Maybe $17,000, out the...
... Midnight blue. ... Shopping around is always wise. There's many Toyota dealers out there. Also, are you trading? You might want to try to sell your trade ...
I paid $18k (tax and license) included. I went straight to the Fleet Manager - Satish Chand (Dublin Toyota). Most of the Fleet Managers won't bother with the...
My 1998 Honda Civic got totalled, and I got $6,000 for it from the insurance. I'm using that, plus some of my own cash plus a loan from my dear ol' mother ...
The M-Theory is a little too bright for my tastes, although it's not as bad as some of those garish blues out there these days. Fleet Manager. Hmmmmm. Was...
When I got my XR, my top priority was fuel economy, with good cargo space being less (but still somewhat) important Based on those criteria, the Matrix/Vibe...
Ah, nice, but times change, years pass and prices increase. You guys noticed. Although gas prices (gasp!) amazingly have gone down about 10 cents!!!!!! ...
I agree with you. Car Shopping should be FUN! But the sales person wants to make a profit as well. Here’s another approach. Instead of going to a dealer...
I'm thinking real hard about a Matrix as well. I'm not going to be able to get it though until late this year or early 08. Has anyone heard anything about...
I suggest that you call Dublin Toyota and make an appointment to meet with him and just say you were refered to him from an old customer who was very happy...
I hear ya. I think that Mazda3 I was considering just has far more horsepower than I need. I'm a go-with-the-flow-of-the-traffic kinda girl. (Which, ...
Thanks for your advice. I may very well do just that. In the meantime, here is an interesting article my sister sent me that comes in handy for ANYONE trying ...
I went through the same thing myself. Matrix/Mazda3...Matrix/Mazda3...Matrix/Mazda3. Being a cyclist, I haul bikes along with other "stuff". So cargo space...
Yep, it's a tough, tough decision between these two cars. Hail, but is that Mazda3 fun to drive!!! Price is a factor though (you gotta figure almost $3 thou ...
I went through a Fleet Manager as well, at Daly City Toyota. Took 45 minutes to buy the car - loved THAT experience! ... With the fleet dealer just talk over...
