Miles Overview
The Matrix is a compact wagon that blends the interior space of a hatchback with the tidy footprint of a Corolla underneath. It corners with a light, planted feel that makes it genuinely fun on twisty roads, though the cabin noise picks up on the highway. Fold the rear seats and you get a long, flat load floor that owners have used to haul furniture, computers, and entire college dorm rooms. A few owners note peeling clear coat and radio buttons that stop working, though the mechanical bits tend to hold up well. The L is the base trim, with the 1.8L four-cylinder and front-wheel drive; stepping up to the S gets you a 2.4L and more power. Its 1.8L I4 makes 132 horsepower and pairs with a four-speed automatic, which is smooth around town but feels busy on the highway.
