2004 Toyota Matrix Wagon

The Toyota Matrix is a compact hatchback that was sold by Toyota from 2003 to 2013. It was designed to offer a sporty, versatile, and practical vehicle that combined the features of a small SUV with the handling and fuel efficiency of a compact car. The Matrix is based on the Toyota Corolla platform and shared many components with the Corolla. It is available with both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, and comes with a choice of two different four-cylinder engines, a 1.8-liter or a 2.4-liter. The Matrix was known for its spacious and flexible interior, with a rear seat that could be folded flat to create a large cargo area. It also came with a range of features, such as a CD player, air conditioning, and power windows and locks. Some models also had features like a sunroof, leather seats, and a navigation system. Top competitors include the Mazda3, Honda Civic, Ford Focus, Volkswagen Golf, Subaru Impreza, Hyundai Elantra GT, Kia Forte5 and Chevrolet Cruze Hatchback. The Matrix was discontinued after the 2013 model year due to declining sales, but it remains a popular choice for those looking for a practical and versatile compact hatchback. Some drivers also appreciate its sporty styling and the option of all-wheel drive for improved handling and traction in adverse weather conditions.
