2003 Toyota Matrix Wagon Fwd 4dr Wagon (1.8L 4cyl 5M)
Poor Toyota support. Very poor traction.
 Our 2003 Matrix, only 58,454 km.  Alternator dead.  Car is past the 5 year warranty period.  However, alternators - especially on Toyotas - should last longer than 58,454 km.  Toyota Canada says replacing alternator not covered, even at this low mileage.  Toyota suggested I pay a Toyota dealer to check the system officially, but admitted they likely won't help us out on this anyway.  Replace with a rebuilt - not new - alternator is over $500.  The fact that we have 5 Toyotas in our family didn't seem to matter:  the person on the phone just kept reading from the policy manual.
