 Favorite feature:

Combination of cargo room and good fuel economy

 Least favorite feature:

Small gas tank on the 4WD (11.9 gal.)

 Advice to buyer:

Pick up a better tire-iron, the one it comes with is wimpy.

 Detailed review:

We got the Matrix 4WD since the winters in Wyoming can be harsh. Its acceleration is sufficient and its handling is quick and responsive. The Matrix is just about perfect for us; a couple just out of college. It is quite fun to drive. A hiccup we have noticed is that the 4-speed transmission shifts really hard as the car crests a hill. The only other concern was that as a new model we weren’t sure about the reliability. Since the Matrix has mostly Corrola guts we are optimistic.

 Also considered:

2002 Honda CR-V
