Looking to buy a Matrix 4WD model. Should I wait for 2007 model ? Any major changes in 2007 ? By the way, is 2006 model same as 2005 ?

Thanks

No changes for 2007, no difference between 05 and an 06. Only diff maybe the finance rates that you can get, this year or next.

I was looking at that New Dodge Caliber. That little thing looks nice. It will give the Matrix a run for the money....

2008 is the next expected change.

Which you can pickup in September 2007....

Hence if you can wait a year, you can get the next generation matrix (2008 model)

EH, if he is like me, he coudlnt wait a year. I am deploying in august, and my wife was driving a 10 year old saturn, ill be damned if i was gonna have her go an entire NY winter, with a 10 year old saturn...not happening.

We picked up a 2005 with 9500 miles, its an XR 4WD, about a week ago now, for $18,900. its fairly well loaded, missing only power seats/leather/VSC. it has a 6cd changer and the premuim sound (though all toyota sound recently seems to be premium). I wouldnt worry too awful much about depreciation, the car will be around many years to come.

Old dood, it's still a Chrysler product.

They look great. They're priced great. But 80% of them are built to 'iffy' standards by a company that WILL shaft you every chance they get...

Troy...that could be true. Well...since I have never owned a Chrysler vehicle.

I still used the Caliber as a wedge when dealing on my new Toyota. Seemed to work....even the salesmanager admited the Caliber was a "nice" car. hehe I ended up getting a decent deal in the long run....
