i guess with the matrix it's mostly the toyota name that makes the price higher...but i would definitely get a vibe than the matrix if i'm basing it on looks. if you are about the resale value i guess toyota you can pay the extra couple few thousand for it...how long do you plan on keeping the car?
personally for me i don't care about the resale value...i just like the look of the vibe haha
vibe looks more masculine
i was originally planning on the 09 corolla xrs but i now wanted something with more storage and versitility...plus the rear independant suspension setup. i hate torsion beam
