all it is, is a hatchback carolla. my mom has one. i drove it for a week and would never buy one for myself.
some of those pics you posted look good. why would you buy the car and put all that extra money in to. when you could have just got something better in the first place.
if you are looking in the market for a matrix you might as well buy my eclipse. an eclipse would smoke that shit. and it also has a huge trunk space just like the matrix.
