So, what are the gear ratios on the Matrix compared to Camry and Corolla?
I notice that the Matrix with the 1.8 and 4 speed automatic gets 32 on the highway vs 35 for a Corolla. I doubt weight would make that big of a difference on the highway when they both get the same city mileage of 26.
Does anyone know how much higher a Matrix automatic revs at 70 MPH than a Corolla?
A Corolla LE seems to do about 2800 RPM at 70 MPH.

I wonder how much different the Matrix is?
