Toyota Matrix - Road Review
Mon, Nov 17, 2008 by Joe
After a great week of partying with the Toyota crew down in Vegas, they spared us a brand new ‘09 Matrix to take through the Mojave Desert to LA.
Check out our FLICKR SET of the week here.
The ride handled really well and looks decent doing so. Being hungover and on 2 hours sleep, you want your car to be hassle-free with a smooth ride. We couldn’t have been happier as we cruised down the I-15 taking in the slightly surreal sights the Mojave has to offer. For a car in it’s price range it’s got some great features and our in-dash GPS nav helped us find the world’s tallest thermometer, and the sound system is superb as our mostly un-scientific tests showed, so it gets our seal of approval.
Also, if you haven’t checked out an ANTICS party yet, do so, they are wild…
Big thanks to our boys who showed us a great time in Vegas: Chad from Toyota and Marc, Charley, Mike and Evan from Leader!

The fact that I can easily find my favorite oversized landmarks without getting lost in a desert is what sold me!

Nice ride and I recommend the mad greek, not for the food though!

I think the Matrix offers more and has a better look.
Still, made jointly by Toyota and GM…
