Traded In FRS for Matrix
 

After some long thought, I traded in my 2015 FRS w/ 15k miles for a Matrix with 10k miles on it

It was between that, a Yaris, and a Prius

I really wanted to say, "gimmie the Prius", but I didn't want to be "that guy". Power feels sluggish but great gas mileage. I'm really enjoying the automatic 4 speed transmission and A/C

I suggested they lowered it but the sales lady laughed

So far I'm really unhappy with it. Can't wait to get my 86 back today after some warranty work. :dnftt:

I actually wouldn't mind trying out the Matrix XRS(?) The one with AWD, apparently they only come in auto though.

xrs had manual in the corolla..wonder about the matrix

Yeah, that's what I'm trying to remember. I talked to my dad about the various trim levels (he works at the plant where the Corolla and Matrix (well, before they killed it off) are made and I vaguely recall him saying the Matrix only came auto in that specific trim.

Hate to say it, but...




should have splurged for the Corolla ;)

Oh great, now Koa is just gonna show up all the time with the familiar "you guys all suck and should go to a Matrix 'cuz bruuuuuh these cup holders will blow your mind, and daaaaamn that regular gas is so sweet. It is sooooo much more powerful then the FRS and now I can kick some minivan ass. All the girlies are gathered around and I have to give them numbers for when it is their turn to ride with me. Should have done this a long time ago"

It has an OEM armrest ON the seat. STRAIGHT from the factory.

Nice! You've traded up! And it comes with factory Toyota badges, no need to rebadge.

Oh damn! Sweeeeeet!!! Got any pics? I just may have to change over myself. Do you know if there is a cricket mod I can do so that it sounds right? I would miss the little guys.

Why pay around 300 for an arm rest, when you can just buy an awesomer car that comes with one?

Personally I'd have picked the Pontiac Vibe :)

Pretty sweet Aztec down the road from me that I have been considering!

I would have waited for the Scion iM! You can get a 6-speed too.

Is this reality? :suicide:
