CarComplaints.com Notes: The Toyota Matrix is the mechanical twin of the Pontiac Vibe.
Both models were a joint GM-Toyota venture, manufactured together at a NUMMI production facility in Fremont, CA. Only the heating & A/C systems are different.
I bought this car because it was supposed to be reliable... Well, even if the reviews were great and the reputation of the car was fair enough I always get small repairs that are extremely annoying, the exhaust broke, the evaporation system of the fuel line is broken, some rust spots appeared even tough I treat the car every single year with premium anti-rust treatment.
My next car is not gonna be a Toyota, but is there any good reliable car on the market? Everyone of them seemed to be made to fail after 5 years.
