Detailed review: |
This is a report on my 3+ months of ownership. Matrix is just what I was looking for, inexpensive, low operating cost, neat looking and, with some getting used to, fun to drive. Problem is that Toyota told me that it was a 'full-time' 4 wheel drive, which it is not. Toyota's defination of 'full-time' is that it drives using only front wheels until these wheels start to slip and then rear wheels are engaged. My defination of 'full-time' is that it is driven by all four wheels all of the time. What do you think? Deceptive advertising?Other than that and the rattles and vibrations in the driver area, the car is o.k.
