A very strange relationship between steering wheel, pedals, and seat. A telescoping wheel would have greatly helped, but it was not offered. see full Toyota Matrix review

6-speed manual FWD
It is really too small for adults for more than a couple of hours. No rear armrest either. Door panels were hard plastic. see full Toyota Matrix review

3rd row seat is full bench seat and individual side can not be raised or lowered independently. Access and available room much less than MDX. see full Toyota Highlander review
