I purchased this matrix brand new in cash. However I have had to purchase wheel covers over and over. Costing me nearly $60 a hubcap. I tried to reach out to Toyota and they said sorry they couldn't help me. There are tons of complaints about this. They were made very poorly and they should be fixed. I will be contacting BBB as well.

Car wears the inside tread of the tire prematurely (10% left after only 16,000 miles), revealed during the safety inspection. The wheel alignment is within the manufacturer's specification and the tires were rotated every 3,000-5,000 miles.
