Hey what's up everyone. Hope you guys had a great holiday! Anyway, I have a question concerning whether or not I should be getting new tires. Upon visual...
... Hi, I'm new here... and I'm wondering if it's a problem with the Matrix, at least according to my experience and what we've found reading the forums over...
I've never experienced this. I'm on 3rd pair rear tires/2nd pair fronts, at 84K miles. But I have an XRS with 17 inch wheels. Suspension is much stiffer than a...
Hi Linda, I also have 20k on replacement tires and they are Y. The Yokohama tires are much better than the Continental tires but do require rotation every 5k...
The steering on the new Corolla is odd. I found myself moving the wheel very slightly back and forth with this new electric power assist. Is this same steering...
Adam asked about tire pressure. Husband checks them weekly, and keeps them at whatever the sticker on the door says (his car, his thing, I don't know the magic...
... Should be 32psi minimum. Lower can (possibly) create a situation for cupping. ... Good for you. But if you are driving in 110F desert conditions - be...
Thank you for the link, miatapete. Yes, the tires were rotated every 5K with every oil change (give or take a couple hundred miles, of course), so that's not...
We did not get to a final firm number but from $9,500 - $10,500 for a 2006 XR with 34 k miles. Anyone know if the 09 Matrix has the new electric steering like...
... yeah, not great. ... No, but I wonder if it's the same steering as in my Prius, which I like a lot. -- Rick Kennerly Virginia Beach, VA www.mouseherder.com...
Linda You will find a lot of people that have reported the problem to the ntsb and if they take the time to report it I believe them. If there are enough...
... I think we're just trying to get what we pay for. If a tire is rated for 40K miles, I'd like to get close to 40K out of normal use, but wouldn't expect ...
To all: I have a 2003 XRS Matrix. I would like to upgrade the headlights. Is there any recommended upgrades to the standard lighting? Secondly: With the XRS...
i got my 50K on my stock 03 tires which were very stiff but got good mpg, as high as 40mpg. since then got softer tires, never break 35 mpg, but a lot better ...
the biggie is how much you paid for it new, since the trade price depends on the extras you have on the car. Is it fair to say you got near 50% of the purchase...
We ran a set of Falken Ziex ZE-512 on my wife's Avalon for the last 4 summers (will toss them rather than put them back on next spring). Maybe 25k miles...
... Sylvania makes several brighter bulbs that just drop in. Look at their XtraVision line of products that claim 30% more lighting output. You will need 2...
The XR's base price in 06 was $17,560 and mine had the upgrade stereo, value package, alloy wheels and Toyo guard group bringing sticker total to $19,500 add...
The used car market is just as depressed, maybe more so, than the new car market. Financing for late model used cars is difficult, at least in my part of the...
For me is not a good deal at all so I will be driving my 06 in to the new year. Good thing is that I still like the Matrix. That Kia at 3 years old; I was...
Steering is called electric assist and what I found was a feeling of freewheeling down the road constantly adjusting slightly back and forth with the steering...
I understand that stock Matrix 16" alloy rims are 16" x 6.5". What are the disadvantages, if any, of using stock Corolla alloy rims (which are only 16" x 6")...
That size tire would certainly have the load-bearing capacity for a Matrix, which outweighs a Corolla by about 150 lb. The main sacrifices would be in...
Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE Why limit yourself? I have 205-40-18's on my '03 XRS, and it handles like it's on rails. Jerry Findley HM:...
