New Matrix Owner

Hey guys, just bought my Radiant Red Matrix on the 27th and so far absolutely lovin it. It is definitely a step up from my VW new Beetle. it picks up faster and has a heck of a lot more room. just wanted to drop a line and introduce myself how does everyone else like their matrixes?

got my 05 XR 4WD in feb 06, love it, still wish it was faster tho...

currently, the matrix is down for the count needing the entire right side replaced after it was demolished by a minivan and an estragned grandma backing out of a driveway at the speed of light.

New Matrix Owner too !

Just picked up my 06 AWD Matrix XR, Phantom Gray with everything I could get on it
Think the only thing I didnt get was the rubber protector strip on the liftgate, but its coming.
Sun Roof, side airbags .....XR2 Package.....plenty comfy for me and the family.

I coming from a 04 Chevy Silverado HD CrewCab.....so now you know why I have the Matrix.
Can you say 10 mpg.....No thanks !

I have had the Matrix for a week now and I am really shocked to say I really like it !
Havent been to the gas station yet

It's a great commuter car, handles really well nothing to complain about other than the seatbelt warning Beeping......WTF, Can you turn that off ??? I wear it all the time, but when I Stop to get the mail at the top of the driveway it freaks out all the way down to the house. (long driveway )

Already learned a few things here.....rear hatch unlocking from the remote.
Was going to bring that up next time I went to the dealer.....Have to hold it for a few seconds.

John

Cool welcome

had mine since aug 2005 and came out of a 02 corolla. greatest car i could have purchased. great on gas and awesome room for my dog. good decision. don't forget to tint your windows. makes the car look that much better. i put fender flares on my ride for the wider look.
have fun

Hello! I'm about to negotiate a purchase on a brand new 2006 Matrix XR! This is my first ever brand new car!! I'm very excited.

But, I'm already starting to look for ways of hooking up my iPod to the stereo. Any ideas? What do other people use? Thanks!
