I had a close encounter of the Vibe kind when I was looking to purchase a new vehicle back in June..... I parked my dad's VW across from the Pontiac dealership...
Awww... c'mon folks... show a little patriotism, just a little-- geeez... that's a little bit extreme... I've owned GM products before and I have never been...
Finally. The person who buys GM products has surfaced. You got t-boned, your sister totalled another car? Man, I know which family not to ride with. I was...
... You didn't need to be psychic to know that...a geopolitical watch should be all you need. That's why I was looking at a Prius first--but they wanted WAY...
Well, I'd prefer it if my gas tax money went someplace else, namely better public transportation to get more people off the roads (myself included). A few...

-anti-bush? He's the president, deal with it and move on. You can't re-write history. He won the election with whatever means he won it, move on... (and no, I...
That's an interesting little bit. But it's really not related to our common interest which is the CAR. My understanding is that discussions should be about...
I dont work for the CIA but I do deal with PDVSA as I sell them satellite communications service for their tanker fleet. I am also Venezuelan born and can...
You must be kidding! Chavez is using the money to buy weapons,and soldiers. He thinks of F. Castro as his idol and wants to plant missiles in Cuba aimed at us....
I've seen a couple of posts where people mention getting 40+ MPG on highway trips. My Matrix is about 6 weeks old now (1,364 miles) and I'm averaging 26.4MPG,...
funny how we tend to discount things as having an agenda, Dude, I am Venezualan born US citizen, I hate chavez but he is not the driving force behind the 911...
... highway ... option for a ... LOL ... enjoyed ... Michelle, It should get better as the engine "breaks in", but may never approach 40mpg on a trip if you...
... Alex, I practice patriotism by volunteering for military duty, paying my taxes, and voting. Anything else is being a wise consumer. I've owned vehicles...
You are getting about what I get. I have the standard 130 HP 1.8L engine with the auto transmission. Stuart ... highway ... option for a ... LOL ... enjoyed ...
... ok, ok... that was shot below the the belt and I retract it. You're all patriots in your own way--I'm sorry that implied you're not if you don't buy...
32PMG is the best I've been able to come up with in an XRS. The engine now at 28700 is well broken in and mileage has slowly improved. It's zippier, that's for...
Sure, the Vibe and the Matrix are basically the same car. Furthermore, since the Vibe is GM vehicle, I would be more likely to buy it. GM has a good rep for...
I bought my new Matrix XRS in late May of 2005. I loved it for a little while since I thought the styling was cool. But in the last few months, more and more...

In this part of the country, it seems like you have to be over 40 to drive the Matrix, no matter what color. It's kinda disheartening that a "hip" car is not...
I think that's why Toyota came out with the whole SCION line. The main Toyota group has the Camry and Corolla crowd... Scion is for the kids. Lexus is for...
Thanks to those who responded, for the info on MPG. Since I live in FL, I run the A/C almost all the time. Even when it's cooler, we run A/C because it's so...
Most of the people I see driving the Matrix are older because most young people are still paying off the student loans, mortgage etc, and it's not a cheap car....
Although I have noticed that the scion line is going the way of the Matrix, the crowd puchasing the cars tend to be older than I think Toyota expected/hoped...
... I think what may happened is that Toyota's demographic data collectors may have underestimated what us "old" people are like. Sometimes I find myself...
I think it is has a lot to do with people tastes, if you like the Matrix, go for it. The demographics of the group that drives the car are very diverse (and...
I bought the car because I liked the shape of it, the features, how it felt to sit in and how it felt to drive. I don't honestly care what Toyota expected or...
Sorry, I'm one of those older, “un-cool” guys you see driving around. I'm afraid I got the car for much more practical reasons and despite the red color...
