 I find the 2004 matrix XR with auto 
trans a very sporty, attention getting 
vehicle.  I bought it used with 6000 
miles on it and have driven it in city 
and Highway modes.  The only problem I 
had was a persistent "buzz" like 
rattle from under the left side of the 
dashboard. My selected Toyota dealer 
repaired it under warranty.  It has 
ample power, though somewhat noisy 
engine on hard acceleration.  The 
seats are comfortable and the driving 
position is ok as well.  I highly 
recommend the vehicle.
