2004 Toyota Matrix

Got this car as a company car brand new off the lot in 2004. Drove it for a little over a year and loved it. Only had one issue with is: electronic issues that were fixed under warranty. Do not know if this is common for this car or not, but it was in the shop for a few days due to self-dimming lights and dashboard while driving. Other than that, just routine maintenance. The MPG was lower than expected for such a small car (in the 20s). But the ability to haul stuff in the plastic lined back was great--almost like having a little truck. Styling is great and ride was really comfortable and roomy. Would recommend to anyone needing a versatile car.
