All about the 2010 Toyota Matrix

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.
