I have found this forum really useful, so I thought I'd post to see if anyone has advice on my current breakdown (and for posterity). Three weeks ago I bought a 2003 4wd Matrix. All was good for the first 800 miles, but on Sunday, after about 50 miles on the highway, I noticed a whining coming...

Hi I just picked up my first car, which is a 2006 Toyota Matrix xR. I am really interested in picking up a shortshifter for it since it is one of the cheapest and fastest mods you could get and would be a great first addition to the car, and was wondering which one is best for the Matrix. Thanks!

I attempted changing the rear brake pads on my 2011 Matrix this past weekend. This was my first time attempting this, so I realized half way through that I needed a special tool to re-compress the cylinder. It was frustrating but I managed to get the tool and get everything put back together...

I got a P0135 error code on my '03 Matrix XRS for the upstream O2 sensor. I have the replacement part but I cannot for the life of me find the location of the sensor. I think the XRS upstream sensor must be in a different location than the base model. Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks.

We tried Matrix AWD 2012 today (as a replacement of good old Corolla) and were impressed by its performance. 2.4L engine really makes a difference compared to a weaker 1.8l. It was also quieter than base model and the seats seemed more comfortable. My question to Matrix AWD owners: is it really...

I recently checked out some 2013 Matrix that was used as rental car. Basic model with auto. It has low mileage and pretty attractive price but: 1. The ride was very noisy and engine struggled getting on highway; 2. The interior finish looked very poor, even by Toyota standards :smile: I...

Hi everyone! I was hoping to get some opinions because I am considering buying a new 2014 Matrix S. I currently drive a 2009 Matrix XR and its running about 130 thousand kms. I share it with my brother who drives it daily to and from work (about 200km). I know the Matrix S is back to the 1.8L...

I own a 2003 Matrix XRS and I am having some trouble with the starter. When I turn the key, the engine will turn over once or twice then it is replaced by a whine. If I continue to hold the key down, the engine eventually catches and starts. Is that an issue with my starter motor, or somewhere...

Does anyone have an idea why the tail light fuse randomly blows on my wife's 05 Matrix? I can replace it (at great cost to my back and neck :P ) and it will be fine for a month or two, then randomly blow again. The car has never been used for towing, no connections added. This is the running...
