What a day yesterday was!!!! I became the owner of a 2005 Matrix XR FWD. It's Indigo Ink in color. I totally love "Neo" (yeah, I know.... corny name for the...
Welcome to the club! Mine are the 9th and 10th car (not all new) and I got the same reaction between the sales agreement and the loan. Those things never go...
Ahhhh....the joys of a reliable ride and a road trip! Neo?? I gues it's better than KITT....eewww remember Knight Rider? (KITT stands for Knight Industries...
LMAO Knight Rider. heheheheh Yeah... I remember that show. Got my pic taken in the car too at an auto show. lol And yeah... Neo.... guess I've seen The Matrix...
Congrats on the new car! I think we can all relate to the feeling we got when we first made that first new car purchase. As for the Corolla comment, if it...
I never thought of naming my Matrix.I need to! What fun! I've never named any of my cars before, but then again, none of those cars were new.all used. _____ ...
Got my 2005 Matrix XR on May 30----2 weeks later, my HUSBAND scratched the passenger door when I was out of town ---with his hockey stick accidentally-it's...
The dealer should have the little touch up paint bottles in your color to fix little scratches like that. In fact getting a pair of them will have to go on my...
I've never named my cars but my daughter insists on naming them for me. Due to my interest in astronomy and the striking color of the car, she's taken to...
I've posted a pic of me with my baby in the photos section. :) It's not the greatest pic of me... my dad snapped it and I just wasn't quite ready. lol Lori :) ...
Touch up paint is very tricky to do right. It is very easy to make things worse! If the scratch is only in the clearcoat (the paint is covered with a thin...
I've read cases of the touch up paint pen Lunar Mist Metallic (US)/Titanium Metallic (Canada) aka paint code "1C8" not matching. It may be fine touching up...
Hi. I have personal exerience with light and deep scratches. A few ways to figure out what works for you is go to the meguires website and read all the how...
I know that touch up paint doesn't look perfect sometimes, but letting a deep scratch go for very long and allowing the rust to get a start is much, much...
For those of you with carseats, where did you place them? I know they specify either behind the driver or passenger, but we moved ours to the middle so that...
I've had this car now for 3 yrs and I have 2 carseats to show for it! W/ the first one, we placed it in the middle. The carseat was built pre-"LATCH" so it was...
Congratulations! Mine is also an Indigo Ink Pearl XR. I got the one with the alloy wheels and sunroof. It's got 4,250 miles now, but still no problems. My wife...
We have two kids and thus two car seats, so we also need to put them on either side of the car. LATCH definitely makes installing/removing the car seat a *lot*...
There are no LATCH anchors in the middle. I did just use one from each side since they were so close together. I'll have to check the manual and do more...
You can use the seatbelt option, but I would assume its a bit harder to install than the LATCH. I've never tried that method. I'll eventually have two car...
I don't pay attention to my gas mileage at all. It is better than what I had with my previous cars and that's good enough for me. Anyway, an old guy stopped me...
I had curious mileage at first, in the low 30s and high 20s during the first months I had the car ... winter. By spring and summer I was doing high 35-38mpg...
Paying attention to gas mileage is important. A good way to know if there might be a problem with your car. Especially things like filters needing to be...
We know it's a great family car. Right now, we can't afford the payments for both cars. We would rather sell it and buy something outright. Then just have...
Jenny, If you have two car payments and you then sell one car and buy somethnig else, wouldn't you still have two car payments? Why not keep the vehicle(s)...
I had to take my Matrix in to get paint protection and undercoating stuff on it Wednesday morning. The dealership gave me an 05 Corolla as a loaner car. Oh I...
If you don't mind my asking, how much did the paint protection cost (I already got the Ziebart rust proofing)? And did anyone come across a review of just how...
*goes off to find the invoice from the car sale* lol..... Paint protection and undercoating cost $488. Not sure how much it was separately. There were 4 things...
