Hello group. The wife is wanting a rubber (not carpet) cargo mat for the back of her 2005 XR. However, she is not keen on spending $60 + for an OEM mat and...
Cheap grey mat from Walmart, 4ft * 3ft, for when the seat is up, and another 4*6ft for when the seats are down for the big area, and then the front seat folds...
What you could also do if you already have the carpeted cargo mat is use that as a template. I think Home Depot sells rubber mats by the foot. Trace out the...
Thanks for the suggestions! I may try the Home Depot idea and then just measure and cut it down to size. ... is use that as a template. I think Home Depot...
... If you have Orchard Supply Hardware stores near you, they have a ribbed rubber mat that they sell on a roll, by the foot. Stuff must be 36" wide at least,...
I know you said you didn't want carpet, but what I did is buy the gray, sort of ribbed carpet that you usually use in halls and alleyways. Probably similar to...
Ok, Just went 49 miles after the warning light came on, but that light comes on with about 25% of a quart of tank. Here is my mileage at 60 mph on the freeway...
How far can you go between when you fill up and when the needle points to the F mark? That is, how much fuel above F does your tank take? In summer I go 120+...
... The stuff I was describing from OSH is rubber only - no carpet attached. ... That's what the cargo net is supposed to help with. Or is that still only an...
We have the cargo net, but the wife does not want to mess with it. Plus, I'm not sure it would stop the side to side sliding. ... described ... attached. ... ...
... not ... still only ... It must be an option because the only thing I have, that I don't use, is the cargo cover thing, made to sort of hide what's in the...
That picture gives me the impression that maybe some bungee cords would help secure the plastic crates she uses to haul her materials around. That might be...
Thats the first thing I did on the way home from the dealer. Popped into the dollar store and bought a whole bunch of bungee cords. I also bought a rubber mat...
Hi, Does anyone have a remote starter on a 5-6spd Matrix? We were contemplating getting one for our XRS but it's a 6SPD and I'm not sure if it's something...
I've just recently joined this Group. I am considering the All wheel drive version of the Matrix to handle the yucky Indiana winters. Those of you that own...
I've got an 04 XR AWD and I'm very happy with it. I have no problems at all passing on the highway. The acceleration is slightly slow getting onto a highway IF...
Rhoni, Where in the NY/NJ area are you? I'm in west Essex County. Nancy (mom to a 2003 auto XRS) _____ From: Rhoni c [mailto:rckali1@...] I've got an 04...
I find it has plenty of zip. My wife's 2002 corolla does have a little more, but not much. On the wet roads the AWD always wins away from the traffic lights....
Something else to throw into the pot... I drive a 2wd version of the Matrii and don't have any problems spinning, ect. in upper Missouri winters. I also have...
That's cool. We go up that way a bit because of the Palisades Park Mall and some hobby shops in Spring Valley. =) Nice to meet a "neighbor". Nancy _____ From:...
I drive a 2WD Matrix, and snow traction is not a problem. In snow the biggest problem for all cars is stopping and turning, and 2WD vs 4/AWD doesn't make much...
Ok let me see here. I filled up this morning put 12 gls and drove 460.5 miles (385.3 @ 60mph and 75.2 @ 55 mph on the warning light). Now, do I clear my...

Now, do I clear my triptometer when the needle is right at the "F" mark, then drive the thing till I fill up again, write the gallons I put in , then write...
Thanks to all for the helpful comments on the AWD version of the Matrix. I appreciate it! It's a great little car, from what I've been able to determine so...
I think the seats are great. They are firmer and higher up.You just kind of step in and out of the Matrix instead of climbing out of the Corolla. Rhoni ...
Every now and then I do a "mileage check" on my cars. I always pick a pump, fill it up (no top up), then drive x miles and refill at the same station with the...
