Thinking of buying the 2004 Toyota Matrix?
No 2004 Toyota Matrix is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Thinking about the 2004 Toyota Matrix? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
A buyer's checks
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. NHTSA has 138 owner complaints on file, mostly about power train, air bags and vehicle speed control. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
The figures, translated
The 1.8L 4-cylinder is what moves it, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Plan on about 25 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 8.4 L/100 km. At our price setting, it costs about $13.02 to drive 100 km. The EPA estimates US$2,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
The Matrix in everyday use
As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. EPA lists 623 litres of luggage space, enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Who it is for
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
A longer test drive
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the Matrix for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Money matters
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $130.20 at our price setting. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Narrowing it down
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
