2007 Toyota Matrix Hatchback XR 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl 4A)
Go Matrix!!
 We bought ours despite all the reports that the steering wheel is too far away, etc.  I am 6' 4" tall, (wife 5'4") and I am very comfortable in the front and rear of ours. My wife and 10 yr old daughter love it too. Our gas mileage runs about 27 overall, but our first trip got 38.5 MPG!! Beats the minivan we traded for it big time. We like the cargo room and are very familiar with the Toyota reliability. We are pleased in every way with this car, even on trips. We highly recommend any Toyota.
