Not the best looking car but quite basic to operate. Fuel consumption not bad when run in but town driving is higher. Plenty of space at the back and easy adjustable seats. For the older driver it's fine but not for the boy racer.

Never intended as a car to set the pulse racing but it has proved a model of reliability, is comfortable and practical and I have grown rather fond of it. Fuel economy is not the best but I only do about 7000 milea a year these days Has the basic creature comforts, Central locking, radio and CD player with several speakers, electric windows back and front and alloy wheels. Plenty of room for both front and rear seat passengers, and although the book isn't huge the seats split and fold so it can take a decent load when required. I would happily buy another if they still made them. It is a good second hand buy if you buy a late model. Really cheap for what you get

Extremely well built & very reliable but costly to run by way of mpg, VED & servicing, particularly if using a main agency.

I have owned the car for 3 years and it has performed faultlessly. An unpretentious car that isn't going to set the pulse racing but it is comfortable and reliable. Not overly frugal on fuel but these days I don't do a big mileage. Well enough equipped with Aircon, 4 electric windows a CD with 6 speakers , alloy wheels (including the spare) but not remote locking A good second hand buy if you can fine a low mileage one at the right price.

Previous owners described this 'green box' as not the best looking car, and confirmed it to be designed for tall people. So, at 5 feet nothing, and with a design degree, you'd be surprised at my purchasing said car. But, I can confidently say, I love my Hyundai Matrix. Bought from a friends dad, who was the 'one owner from new'. I paid the princley sum of £500, which following a period of unemployment and pretty bad luck all round, turned out to be the best £500 pounds I have ever spent. The car looks great, is extremely roomy, very reliable and with only 37,000 miles on the clock a gift! ;o)

This car was a reasonable price to buy but I have found that the running costs are not so good. It does not have lots of bells and buttons, it is just a basic car but it is quite comfortable and the driving position is good.
