| Price of the Toyota Matrix: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2005 | 4dr Hatch 123-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic AWD | The Matrix price represents good value for the features and quality. |
| 2004 | 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | Lease payments were very low. |
| 2004 | 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | In the summer of 2007, I bought this car from a Lincoln-Mercury dealership that had taken it in trade - for $8,995. The car was (and still is) in excellent condition. |
| 2003 | 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | It was pretty cheap to buy - $8000. |
| 2003 | 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD | Climate control & stereo system in base model. Rear wipers and defrost should be standard. Rear window becomes translucent with heavy rain or snow, which can be cleared easily by 1-3 wiper cycles. |
| 2003 | 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD | The Matrix was an affordable car. At the time, there were very few options under $20k that met all our needs. |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic AWD | Price was $3000 more than the Elantra after the options were added. |
| 2009 | 4dr Hatch 132-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | Price was a little higher than I wanted but i guess you pay more for quality. |

| Price of the Honda Ridgeline: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr SUT 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD | I got a good deal on my RTL/w Navigation 33265 was the out the door peice. |
| Price of the Honda Ridgeline: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD | $30K can probably buy a lot more truck utility and power in a different brand. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD | MSRP is way overpriced, and dealerships tend to haggle over prices. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD | a little pricey for not having more standard options a bigger motor. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD | It is an expensive vehicle when loaded, but then again, trucks can get quite expensive. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD | The price in Canada was too high,and I believe I was overcharged by the dealer, but this was in part compensated by the low interest rate of 1.9% for 36 months from Honda Canada Finance. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD | Initial cost of vehicle plus options is higher than comparable vehicles. |

| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Solid. Good workmanship. I also like the plastic floor in the cargo area, which is easy to clean after transporting a muddy dog. |
| 2003 | 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Feels solid and of a high quality |
| Materials and Workmanship of the Toyota Matrix: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Uninspired and the options when going from S to the XRS only seemed to focus on the musical components and tire profiles. |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
rattles, from the first day. quality of workmanship and assembly was so poor. car was vibrating on idle like an old tractor. tried to fix the rattles - it was impossible. the dealer was useless and helpless as well. miserable car. |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
low quality plastics. rattles from the first day of ownership. low quality material of steering wheel - becomes very cold during the winter. low quality fabric on chairs. very cheap and unsuitable OEM tires. car is shaking on neutral like crazy. :-( |
| 2006 | 4dr Hatch 118-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic AWD |
Cheap paint chips way too easy on front bumper and hood. |
| 2004 | 4dr Hatch 173-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Rattles galore on the interior. Car body was assembled incorrectly and resulted in a rubbing noise that required Toyota to cut out and replace entire A pillar from roof to rocker panel. Got rid of the car after as the warranty expired due to this issue. |
| 2003 | 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
The interior is lined by a softish plastic; easily scored, marred, and scratched. However, for the cheap material, the trim and fit is tight. |
| 2003 | 4dr Hatch 180-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
it was sloppily put together at the factory and was never a pleasant car to be in. Chrome bits on the dash were blinding. |

Knobs have good feel to them. Leather seating looks good with straight line stitching. Well thought out console design and materials |
| 2007 | 4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
Overall quality. |
