The trendy yet affordable 2010 Toyota Matrix is getting attention for its versatile capabilities and sporty accents. No matter if you want to load up some gear and go on a fun weekend get-a-way or just save gas getting to work, the 2010 Toyota Matrix is your wagon of choice. "It's typically been marketed toward younger car shoppers, though in actuality, buyers of all ages have been drawn to this car's desirable mix of attributes," says edmunds.com. Available engines include a 132 horsepower, 1.8 liter engine and a 158 horsepower, 2.4 liter engine. The 2010 model comes in three trims; base, S, and XRS. All are available with either automatic or manual transmission.
The body/suspension equipment for this tough little wagon includes electric power steering, MacPherson strut suspension, and a center hand parking brake.
The exterior is embellished with power, color-keyed outside rearview mirrors. Convenient exterior equipment includes a temporary spare tire, daytime running lights, a heavy duty rear window defogger, and roof rack anchor mounts for tying down your gear.
The interior is practical and convenient with a 60/40 split rear seat, a tilt/telescopic steering wheel, an outside temperature display, a tachometer, filtered air conditioning, a 12-volt power outlet, four cup holders, a day/night rear view mirror, a driver's seat vertical seat height adjuster, and a tonneau cover. Standard audio equipment includes an XM satellite ready antenna and an auxiliary audio jack.
The safety equipment in this wagon makes it an even more attractive option. The safety features include driver and front passenger advanced airbags with an occupant classification sensor, driver and front passenger side airbags, side curtain airbags, three-point seatbelts for all seating positions, an anti-lock brake system, brake assist, and electronic brake-force distribution. Brake assist helps drivers who do not take full advantage of the ABS system in emergency situations by compensating and putting more pressure on the brakes when the system senses that the driver is trying to make an emergency stop. Electronic brake force distribution optimizes braking effort between front and rear axles and minimizes stopping distances. Other great safety features include vehicle stability control, child protector rear door locks, a head impact protection structure, and a direct tire pressure monitoring system. Vehicle stability control monitors the driver's speed and direction and can compensate for a loss of traction when the onboard computer senses a loss of control.
