Mr. Tae 
2003 Toyota Matrix Wagon Fwd 4dr Wagon (1.8L 4cyl 5M)
Workhorse after 4 years
 I needed a car to haul ~ 1000 lbs of equipment daily and the Matrix doesn't disappoint.  Mileage ave 33 +/- 5 mpg, troublefree at 4 years old.  Interiors are Ikea appearance and quality, soft plastic easily damaged otherwise looks 'durable.'  Chrome trim is paint on plastic.  Gauges hard to see in bright sunlight.  Perfect student, starter, delivery, taxi fleet car.  Nimble, easy to drive. Blind spots on rear fixable via adjusting side mirrors.   Comfortable enough for 1000 mi one way drives.  Adequately powered, can be floored to leap from entrance ramps, shut aircon for best torque.  Poor traction from stock tires on bad roads.
