new the forum... looking to purchase a new matrix

[AznFuman]

Hello, I'm looking at the matrix xR.. the XRS will nail me on insurance since I'm only 19. So yah.

I'm just wondering is there anytthing to keep my eye out for?

tranny issues (i'm getting an auto, family drives car too)
stock tire isses (if i can pick a choice of tires)
engine issues? (I doubt there will be for this one)

any call backs?

Thanks

Allan,

this car as only minor minor minor troubles.. like the garbage can doesnt like to stay closed... never heard of any troubles.. i'm 23 myself and the insurance for the xrs was almost the same.. something like 25$ more a month... i've had mine for 11 months now and nothing has ever gone wrong.. other than my garbage can..

the 04's only come in 6-speed... in 03 they had an auto in limited quantities but most auto drivers regret buying the auto... better off getting an XR if you dont like shifting
