2006 Toyota Matrix Wagon XR 4dr Wagon (1.8L 4cyl 4A)
Must have picked the lemon
 Bought the car new and am a very careful owner.  My last car, a Chevy housed outside in the elements, was 12 years old when I traded it in with very little problems. After 2 years, the fuel pump went.  After 2 1/2 years, electrical system and sensors failed.  Just after the warranty expired, multiple systems failed, requiring a new battery and $400 worth of repairs.  I have to drive long distances for my new job and have to trade it because I don't know when or where it will fail next. Disappointing, considering Toyota's supposed quality.
