Well I traded my 2008 Lb for a 2010 Matrix today. My family has grown alot in three years from 1 kid to 3 now. I just couldn't do the 2 doors anymore. I know I never posted much but I read alot every week on here and will miss my yaris and mpg's alot. Thanks for all of the information I learned on here. I'll be posting some small stuff soon in the for sale section for cheap if anyone might be interested.THANKS

good luck with your new ride. Keep checking in, unless you'll be too busy over on the Matrix forums now!

How is the Matris compared to Yarix in terms of fun to drive and handling factors? ;)

Grandieri · 12-02-2010, 09:06 PM

I dont know too much about my Matrix's handling yet because we have more than a foot of snow where I live. But it doesn't matter too much because I have a Honda 600rr for that.

Thanks.

What did you get for a trade for your '08 YARIS 3 door ? Was it an automatic or stick ? Base or power package ? Hope I'm not being too intrusive . Let us know your gas mileage , etc. Thanks and good luck with your MATRIX .

Grandieri · 12-03-2010, 01:43 AM

It was a 5spd with 29k miles nothing besides a cd player and got $8200 on trade. For the past two years I got 39 mpg per fill up.Thanks.

Hershey · 12-03-2010, 12:50 PM

Keep us informed of the MATRIX gas mileage , etc.. We had a base model 2003 MATRIX with automatic . That got 33 m.p.g.. There's times we wish we didn't traded it in . Never had an issue with it up to the 59,000 plus mis. when trade it in . They gave us a trade of $10,000 . The TOYO dealer sold it that same day . Enjoy .

Grandieri · 12-03-2010, 04:25 PM

Thanks Hershey, the Matrix is a base model 5 speed.I hope I get good mpg's.

Hershey · 12-04-2010, 02:17 AM

We test drove a 2009 VIBE ( Matrix ) with the 5 speed manual and was very easy to shift along with smooth engaging clutch . They now use synthetic gear oil from the factory . I think it's GL-5 .

Love to see these types of farewells to the Egg...very respectful and it is nice to know that you followed often. Best of luck with your new ride and no reason to not stick around!
