2008 2009 Toyota Matrix Review Pictures
Roomy,
versatile and fresh - these are the types of things Toyota once said
about the Matrix. A sportwagon still in its infancy, the Matrix is
quickly making a name for itself. And though the 2008 2009 version is essentially
unchanged from last year's model, it is still quite innovative within
the often-stale automotive landscape. The 2008 2009 Toyota Matrix is available
in a standard model, an XR trim and an XRS trim. The wagon design
of the Matrix results in impressive interior space.
It can
seat five passengers and still offer 53 cubic feet of interior cargo
volume. This gives owners the kind of versatility they are looking
for when moving about the country. Sort of like a Pontiac Vibe, the
2008 2009 Toyota Matrix continues to defy categorization. It is in the
ever-murky 'crossover' realm, a designation affixed to vehicles whose
characteristics spill across segment lines. The Matrix challenges
the conventions of car design with its tall, aggressive look. Functionality
continues to dominate however, as the Matrix has a swing-up tailgate
and a separate-opening window.
With the
XRS, things are taken to the extreme with both front and rear spoilers
and 17-inch alloy wheels. The 2008 2009 Toyota Matrix is made to withstand
collisions with steel body panels, front and rear crumple zones and
side-impact door beams. Other safety features include dual front airbags
and daytime running lights. Antilock brakes are standard on AWD and
XRS models, optional with all others. Functional equipment is the
key to all Matrix models, as standard features include air conditioning,
power steering, a fold-flat passenger seat, a center console, a split
folding rear seat, an AM/FM/CD player and a cargo cover. The options
list is filled with comfort features, particularly when one chooses
the top-line XRS model. With the XRS, you can add a power sunroof
and a navigation system featuring an AM/FM radio with an under-seat
mounted 6-disc CD changer.
