2004 Toyota Matrix Wagon XR Fwd 4dr Wagon (1.8L 4cyl 5M)
Perfect for needs and budget
 This is the perfect car for us. Great mileage (25-27 city, 32-37 hwy). This looks small on the outside but is laid out great very efficient and feels very roomy. This car hold TONS of stuff (4 adults, 3 day camping gear (firewood included), surfboards on top and bikes on the back) and still got 34+ mpg on the trip!  The 110v plug is awesome, didn't need to buy a car charger for cell phone or iPod.  The most car for the money, imo. Would buy again in a heartbeat. Owned for over 2 years now still runs like new.
