2003 Toyota Matrix XRS. 6 speed manual transmission. The first owner was my father, I am the second owner, you are the third. Sweet sliding and tilting sun roof works perfectly and does not leak. The cool cargo nets and cargo straps that only came with this model (I think) are present and will be included for an extra $5,000. -I'm joking, of course. They are included...for free...really. The tires are somewhat new (maybe a year?). I got a new clutch in July. Since the clutch, I've MAYBE put 700 miles on it. Both front brake rotors are new (also in July). I've always had generic plastic floor mats covering the stock Matrix floor mats, so those puppies are in rather decent shape for being 10 years old. The car is presently dirty. It's getting to be cold here, and I have not taken it to a car wash, yet. Don't let the little bit of dirt in the pictures scare you off.
It can be quick when you need it to be so. When you find a transmission to throw in this baby, you're gonna have a fun and solid car for another 155,000 miles. This engine is strong. I LOVE this car. I planned on driving it till my kid becomes old enough to drive, but I had to get a pick-up truck for work. So this must go. The gas mileage is anywhere from 30 to 35 miles a gallon. Man am I gonna miss THAT. This car is NOT all wheel drive, in case that's what you're looking for. There is a small ding on the passenger side front quarter panel from a misplayed baseball. I don't think this car has ever been in an accident. There is what looks like a cigarette burn hole in the front passenger seat, but my father swore it was NOT from a cigarette...in fact he could not tell me what it was from when I bought it from him, but in the 9 years since that hole magically appeared, it has not grown. The plastic on the inside of the back hatch is cracked - I think there's even a small hole in it, actually. A fog lamp is out. The headlights need to be "cleared", if you know what I mean. -They have that haze, is all. The exhaust leak is annoying. The parking brake that does not work is also annoying. That panel on the inside driver's side door that contains all the power window and power lock controls is loose...that's kind of annoying, too. One or two lines in the rear window defroster are dead. Sometimes a few of the lights on the radio face go dim. The front ground-effect-spoiler-thing snapped off when I hit some debris on the freeway a few years ago. The car certainly lost some of it's good looks when that happened, but I could never justify getting it replaced as I am not made of money. All the cool amenities like the multiple power outlets, the little compartments to hide crap, the fold away drink holders, etc...are all intact. I'm telling you...this car is awesome. All the little annoying things are to be expected from a 10 year old car; and I don't believe they take the value down much. The lame transmission, however, is a different story. I THINK a new used tranny, installed, will run you between $1200 and $1800. My goal is not to screw you, here. I've listed about everything wrong that I can think of. I truly believe this car has only lived half its life. A new transmission and you're golden for another 10 years. Hit me with questions or if you want other pictures, I can certainly email them to you. |

Toyota maintains world's largest automaker crown, GM and VW close behind
Wed, 24 Apr 2013Toyota still holds the title of World's Largest Automaker. The Japanese automaker ceded the claim to General Motors in 2011 following a series of natural and man-made disasters that stifled production in Asia. Production is back up to full speed and, coupled with the introduction of a new Camry midsize sedan, Toyota retook the title in 2012 and has so far been able to keep it by selling 2.43 million vehicles in the first quarter of 2013.
The race is still tight - General Motors reports sales of 2.36 million vehicles, earning it the second spot globally with Volkswagen's 2.27 million sales nabbing the German automaker third place. It's not all smooth sailing for Toyota, either, as the brand's first-quarter figures were down 2.2 percent when compared to last year. GM posted a 3.6-percent gain and VW managed a 5.1-percent gain over the same period.
Sales in China may be a deciding factor as to which automaker performs best in 2013. Toyota's figures were down 13 percent in China. Meanwhile, GM and VW are continuing their upward trajectories in the crucial Chinese market.
Toyota recounts past Supra glories
Mon, 29 Jul 2013It could just be a slow start to the news week around the Toyota offices, but its UK blog has posted a brief history on its legendary Supra sports car. Read into however you'd like, but there has been plenty of speculation as to the return of the Supra nameplate in recent years (including last month from incoming Toyota chairman Takeshi Uchiyamada).
Built from April 1978 through July 2002, Toyota's sports coupe made quite a name for itself as both the Celica Supra (shown above) and the Supra, and the blog post charts many of the changes and highlights through the years. Head on over to the Toyota UK blog to read more about this Supra's history, and then be sure to check out the gallery of images from Toyota spanning all four generations.
Toyota says C-HR Concept is more of a Prius preview than we thought
Wed, Dec 17 2014When the designers thought they were just about finished with the new look of the fourth-generation Toyota Prius hybrid, higher-ups did not like what they saw and sent those designers back to the proverbial drawing board to come up with something a little spicier. Duly inspired, the designers came up with something last spring that may look a bit like the C-HR crossover concept, Automotive News says. For those looking for a Prius design with a little more bite, that isn't necessarily a bad thing. The C-HR hybrid concept isn't a direct preview of the new Prius, but the "diamond architecture" features like thick wheel wells and mean-looking grille could make an appearance on the hybrid. Those aren't exactly familiar Prius materials, but they may be coming to the next version of the world's most popular hybrid, whose production debut has been pushed back until the end of next year. It is also notable that there will likely be a far greater design difference between the standard Prius hatchback and the plug-in hybrid variant, which are pretty much identical in their current versions. The C-HR concept, whose look has been compared to that of the Nissan Juke, was unveiled at the Paris Motor Show last fall. We think it looks good, and wouldn't mind seeing some of the touches in the new hybrid.
