my next car??, Matrix XRS 4X2 Options

[Valo666]

So im like 80% sure im gonna sell my celi soon. Its killin me on gas when i have to drive like 40 min across town to get to school. It takes about 1/8th of a tank each way and im gonna have to do that daily for the next 36 weeks or so. So im thinkin of gettin somethin a little better/newer. SO i went to the local toyota dealer today and was lookin through their used car lot. I was thinkin about gettin a 2dr echo hatch or somethin. The first thing that caught my eye was a 2003 Matrix XRS. So i was takin a look at it n this sales men comes up n tells me its got 20000km on it, only 1 owner who barely drove it. 6 speed, 4x2, 1.8L, all the options, JBL am/fm radio with 6 cd changer, bazooka tube, 17" rims, all season tires, full skirt package, optional bigger exhaust, 3 year warrenty. The sticker price was just over $20K, but he said the lowest it could be brought down to is around $16000 cuz i actually delt with the same guy when my gf's family was buyin their matrix XR. So im thinkin of gettin it if i do decide to sell the celi. Any one drivin one of these? Know how good they are? Any problems??

It looks exactly like this, but in black and with tinted windows all around

if ur looking to save gas... i think might as well get the echo... otherwise... the matrix is probably about the same as the celica

My Celi is runnin really rich, like i go through 1/8th of a tank of gas drivin from martingrove and 401 - warden and 401. And thats highway econo. My gf's matrix XR we drove from here (401 and martingrove) to napanee(like out by ottawa) on a lil more then 1/4 tank.

i doubt thats gonna get better mileage than your celi.  and if your gonna spend 16gk on a car, you could get somthing way nicer...  but really its up to you.

Theres nothing really nicer around here for $16000. Every thing is used and old. Also this is $16000 CND, not USD, cuz i know for like $16000 USD u can get a brand new TC or XA. If we had scion up here i would so go for a XA or a Tc.
