2004 Toyota Matrix Wagon Fwd 4dr Wagon (1.8L 4cyl 5M)
2004 Matrix Owner is so so
 Sporty vehicle that we loved the look of.  Great for short trips, errands, and hauling.  Mileage good, but there is a paint issue with the hood that Toyota won't own up to (missing layers of paint after 2-years of ownership).  Also, I agree the sound system is poor but what do you expect in this price range?  Driver seat seems more comfy than passenger for long trips, uncomfortable for passenger. Basically a bit more attention to quality and they will perfect this model (maybe they have already).  Bottle water holders in the door would be a great addition to this model.  Nix the cheap backseat beverage holders.
