2009 Toyota Matrix


2009 Toyota Matrix

Toyota is a big player in the compact wars. With its "foot soldiers" down the battlefield, both the brand and consumers are importantly considered. Canada's compact car segment is one of the key combat zonea for auto-makers, accounting for 26% of all cars sold last year.

As a result of Toyota’s pursuit in engineering more and better compact cars, the audience are continually amazed by the new models. The sporty Matrix compact crossover has undergone a makeover- the first since it originally debuted in 2002 as an '03 model. To retain the functionality and sporty dynamics of the original Matrix, the new edition is further provided with fresh look plus improved handling, enhanced power, more standard features, and take note; all these at lower price than the comparable 2008 base model. Just take a look at the 2009 Matrix starts at $15,705, $1,495 less than the previous version.
If you are one of the enthusiasts who were amazed by this cute crossover of Toyota, then get more stunned by its specs.

2009 Toyota Matrix is an all-wheel-drive compact crossover that is empowered by and engine of 2.4L DOHC four-cylinder, 158hp at 6000 rpm, 162 lb-ft of torque at 4000 rpm. The transmission is four-speed automatic and the brakes are each installed with four-wheel disc with ABS.

Some other standard features include the telescopic and tilt steering column, MP3/WMA capable audio system, dual-stage front and side impact air bags, power windows and locks, Optritron gauges, roof rack, keyless entry, 60/40 split rear bench, and tire pressure monitoring system.

As a member of the Toyota clan, the Matrix does not offer heated seats. This is because of no leather option is available. This may or may not have something to do with providing a heating element in the seat cushion. Neverhteless, the 2009 Matrix is a great vehicle that offers practical utility in a package that looks and drives with a muscular flair.
