Are you sick of the big and bulky SUVs that guzzle all your gas with just a trip to the grocery store? The 2010 Toyota Matrix is a different kind of SUV that combines affordability with practicality and the space you need for your daily errands. Here are some of the things you can expect from the 2010 Toyota Matrix, a compact SUV that you will surely enjoy.

Under the Hood
If performance is what you are looking for, the 2010 Toyota Matrix is modest in that area. It has a 1.8-liter engine with four cylinders and 132 horsepower. That’s not an engine that is built for performance, but you can upgrade to the Matrix S or the Matrix XRS, both of which have a 2.4 liter engine with 158 horsepower. That’s enough to give you some “get up and go” without burning through your fuel too quickly. In fact, the Matrix gives you roughly 30 miles per gallon according to the EPA and the fuel economy dips only a tad if you choose the larger engine. With the 2010 Toyota Matrix, you can also choose between the five-speed manual transmission, which comes standard, or the four-speed automatic transmission, which is an option.

Interior
If you are looking for and “edgier” atmosphere in your compact SUV, you will find it in the 2010 Toyota Matrix. This model has a telescoping steering wheel as well as seating positions for all body sizes. Whether you are a petite soccer mom or a larger NASCAR dad, you will be comfortable sitting in the driver’s seat of the 2010 Toyota Matrix. The backseat is also perfect for children and adults with its spacious feeling and deep bench seat. You can also fold it down in sections if you have more cargo than you do passengers. The cargo area of the 2010 Matrix also includes tie-downs so you can keep your cargo in place when driving around. Behind the rear seats, you can get almost 20 cubic feet of luggage space and more than 61 cubic feet when the seats are folded flat. That’s a lot of luggage space!

Safety Features
The 2010 Toyota Matrix is not without proper safety features that you desire as a new car buyer. Features include antilock brakes, stability control, standard front airbags and side curtain airbags. The 2010 Matrix also received five stars in the government’s crash test ratings, making it a coveted vehicle on Toyota lots these days. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety also gave the 2010 Toyota Matrix a “Good” rating, which is the highest rating offered for frontal-offset and side impact crash ratings.

The 2010 Toyota Matrix is available at your PA Toyota dealers now. Check them out and take one for a test drive today!

If you have not taken the 2010 Toyota Tundra for a drive yet, you don’t know what you’re missing. This new pickup truck is sure to be a bestseller for the Japanese automaker.

One of the things that makes the 2010 Toyota Tundra such a popular truck is that it does not sacrifice power or towing capabilities despite the government’s new regulations on fuel efficiency and gas mileage. It keeps the V8 engine which has been known to be one of the best engines for hauling, towing and overall horsepower in a full-size pickup truck. But that doesn’t mean the 2010 Tundra is a gas-guzzler.

Toyota’s new 4.6-liter i-Force V8 engine is the solution. It is smaller than the 276-horsepower engine in the previous generation of the Tundra, but it is stronger, more efficient and even lighter. This helps the truck maintain its fuel efficiency. A new six-speed automatic transmission is also available. As such, you can expect to get about 20 miles to the gallon on the highway!
The new engine offers 310 horsepower combined with 327 pounds-feet of torque. The engine is just one of the appealing factors that are bringing truck lovers to dealer lots.

Of course, to experience the 2010 Toyota Tundra firsthand and see what else makes this truck so amazing, you will have to join the crowd and visit your Toyota dealer for a test drive. Once you get behind the wheel, you’ll never want another truck again.

SUVs have started to cater more to the about-town types, but the 2010 Toyota 4Runner SR5 stays true to the original drivers of the SUV – outdoor enthusiasts. Other SUVs might try to nod to those buyers with ads that feature their vehicle on top of a mountain, but with the new 2010 model, there’s really no reason to look elsewhere for an off-road vehicle. A new edgy exterior complements the solid off-road performance, with a superior rear axle that makes rocky terrain no problem. It comes with a four-speed automatic transmission and a 2.7-liter engine that puts out 157 hp and 178 lb-ft of torque, and it’s also not bad as SUVs go for fuel mileage, coming it at 18 mpg in the city and 23 on the highway. BROWSE INVENTORY.

At a time when SUVs are getting lampooned for being gas-guzzlers, the Toyota 4Runner SR5 continues on undeterred. If the engine size is the problem, well then they’ll put out a smaller V6 engine – one that can put out even more horsepower than the previous incarnation’s larger engine. Problem solved. Now we can get on with enjoying the roomy, powerful driving experience that SUVs are so well-loved for, without any of the guilt. It’s almost like finding out a diet cola really does taste identical to the real thing. Except better.

The new 4Runner features a 4.0-liter V6 engine that knocks out 270 hp – even more, as we’ve said, than the previous V8 engine that’s now been retired – and a hefty 278 lb-ft of torque. A five-speed automatic comes standard. The new engine changes the feel of the drive, making going up a hill feel just as easy, while taking corners actually feels a lot more solid than swinging around bends in a smaller car. The turn radius is about what you’d expect of an SUV, but there’s almost no sensation of leaning when taking a turn, which makes that drive up twisty trails a lot more pleasurable and secure-feeling.

Speaking of twisty trails, the 4Runner is still at heart an off-road vehicle. It was originally conceived as a trail SUV, and it’s still at its best when being challenged by steep uphill slopes, the bumps and snags of off-road terrain, and anything else the outdoors can think to throw at it. Outdoor enthusiasts should definitely consider the 4Runner as the faithful companion to their next adventure – and the ten after it.

Inside, the 4Runner is a nearly luxurious experience, to the point that you might actually consider knocking the mud from that hiking trail off your boots before climbing back in. The materials are much richer and more elegant than previous models, and the entire interior cab feels more modern. Controls are nicely placed and easy to use with radio, CD and MP3-ready audio system and auxiliary audio jacks, and the cloth bucket seats are comfortable and roomy. Throw in a tilt/telescopic steering wheel, multi-information display, and power controls, and you’re looking at an extremely stylish experience inside, even if your outside activities rough your 4Runner up.

The exterior speaks to the real purpose of the beast, with a more rugged exterior and a brawny frame that practically says “My SUV can beat your SUV in an arm-wrestling contest.” With 17-inch clearance, fog lamps, and mudguards, the mountain will welcome it home. It also makes for a powerful-looking about-town car once you’ve hosed the mud off and given it a quick shine to show off the rocker panels and back flared fenders, as well as the general accomplished feeling of the design.

Powerful, luxurious, and at home on the trail or outside the finest restaurant in town – what more could you want from an SUV? Check out our new model specials at Peruzzi Toyota today.

If you are a follower of this blog, you have read a lot about the 2010 Toyota Prius. But this new generation of the standard in hybrids is so great, it doesn’t hurt to talk about it even more.

The new Prius (which means “to go before”) has a “special powertrain that combines a gasoline-fueled internal combustion engine with an electric motor.” This gives the Prius its awesome gas mileage and reduces its emissions to make it a cleaner burning automobile.

Because of its long history in the hybrid segment, the Toyota Prius is one of the most trusted names when it comes to alternatively fueled vehicles. The 2010 Prius only solidifies the reputation that Toyota has in the hybrid industry with its increased fuel economy and other features that hybrid owners appreciate. The four-door hatchback allows plenty of room for passengers as it can seat five people comfortably and still allow room for loading cargo in the back.

The 2010 Prius also has nearly 100 horsepower. Under the hood there are two electric motors that help accomplish this power and a “special planetary gearset” functioning as a CVT gives the Prius even more power to bring it to a total of 134 horsepower.

Words cannot do the 2010 Prius justice. That’s why you should visit your Philadelphia area Toyota dealer today to see what the fuss is all about. You may just end up driving one home!
