What do you like best ?

OK, chime in here. What's your favorite feature about your 'Trix. (Or one of them)

Mine is the 112 volt plug in the dash.

Haven't got mine yet (3 weeks to go), but I really love the cargo space and the hatchback window. Great for renovations and getting in my hockey stuff without swearing for 2 minutes.

Also, I really wanted the electric windows and cruise control. First car with it. Yea.

I love the fact that it has good storage space, but that I haven't sacrificed sportiness or gas mileage to get it!

It's also the first car I've ever owned with any sort of CD player, forget the 6-disc in-dash one that this one came with. Also loving the moonroof.

Thats a difficult question... I like more than one feature:

I like the fuel economy and the peppiness (5-spd), I like accessory adapter (mine is inside the arm rest), I like the roominess, I like the flip-up rear glass feature, the utility thats available. There's a lot to love about the Matrix. I like my TRD Edition for the few extra features that it comes with too. As with any car it could use more power... future mods to come.

I appreciate the handling for such a short wheelbase. Slow in/Fast out and the car handles like a dream. I also like the hidden storage in the rear under the carpet and on the sides. All the little toys make this car a lot of fun to own. Everyone who knows me loves our Matrix. There are things I don't like so much but i'll post about them later.

You're the first one to say appreciating the handling. Most threads talk about the lack of handling to the OEM tires.
