The base designs feature 16-inch steel wheels, CD with four audio speakers, front bucket seats, 60/40 split rear bench seat, tilt wheel, cargo cover, dual manual-remote mirrors, taken care of intermittent front wipers as well as periodic back washer/wiper. Anti-lock brakes are basic on the base 4WD version.
The XR versions include air conditioning, power home windows, power locks with keyless entry, power mirrors, leather-wrapped wheel, lit up entry, cruise control, map lights, a tire pressure monitoring system (on 4WD models just), 16-inch alloy wheels, and also variable periodic wipers.
The XRS version consists of all of the XR features, plus four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, six-disc CD player with 4 speakers, 115-volt accessory outlet, 17-inch light weight aluminum wheels, haze lights, skirt plan, as well as power sunroof.
The Ontario-built, Corolla-based Matrix is a sis auto to the California-built Pontiac Ambiance. It's incredibly functional, supplying lots of storage room and also a configuration that makes it practically a small minivan. It flights and manages well, although its seating placement isn't constantly comfy for taller chauffeurs. The 170 hp XRS is a fun as well as muscle ride. Chrysler PT Cruiser's newly-reduced $15,998 base rate undercuts the base Matrix by $1,052; although the PT has more horse power, its larger visual weight results in performance that feels concerning the exact same, as well as the Toyota's develop quality is much better.
While the stylish and also versatile portable Matrix wagon shares platforms, powertrains, and components with the Pontiac Ambiance, it includes its very own distinct exterior as well as interior styling therapies. Available in either front- or all-wheel drive, the Matrix's comes with a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine that creates 130 horsepower in the base model as well as 123 equines in XR trim, as well as can be fitted to either a five-speed manual (with front-drive designs) or a four-speed automatic transmission. The leading XRS design comes with a more-satisfying 173-horsepower version of the 1.8-liter engine as well as offers a six-speed manual transmission. Split-folding rear seats with adequate tie-down places and various storage space areas as well as containers contribute to the Matrix's integral utility. Typical features consist of anti-lock brakes with brakeforce distribution, cooling, and a CD stereo; a satellite navigating system is among the vehicle's numerous choices. Few changes are anticipated for 2005.
