Buyer Warning All Matrix years
Toyota Matrix Years to AvoidThe weakest years — and the one you should buy instead
We reviewed all 11 Toyota Matrix years and — unusually — found no years that meet our "avoid" criteria. The Matrix is one of the rare models where every generation earns at least a moderate KeepScore.
Good news
Every Matrix year we analyzed scores at least 70/100.
Your decision is less about "which to avoid" and more about "which is the absolute best buy." Start with the highest-scoring year below.
