Default Should i get this car??...


Sup all, my brother owns a 03 Toyota Matrix XRS. Hes only had it for a year, and i know he has taken care of it. Already has a TRD CAI, Greddy exhuast, Hyper Ground Wires, and dark tint. I will be keeping my 93 SL2 for the daily driver. Have any of you even heard of the XRS? Heres a pic....

Wow that's kinda nice, and I just looked at Toyota's website and found I could have gotten it for the same price as my Ion, oh well, I got extremely lucky on the financing on the Ion, probably would NOT have happened anywhere else.

No way man, the ION > the matrix, IMO.

Honestly I think the matixes suck ass. Even if it has 180 HP they're weak. I whooped a modded, yes modded with a catback exhaust, tint, and black wheels from what I could see, in a literally bone stock 93 SC2 AT with 2 other people in the car. It was on the interstate and this all black matrix comes buzzing by. I deecided to catch up and play along we got side by side for a little and he takes off again from around 75-80 MPH. It was over with when we took off, he got smoked bad. I walked it up to 110 MPH Afterwards, he flys by when I already slowed down. Just letting you know the 180 HP doesn't mean much doesn't mean too much when you get beat by a saturn with 2 other people besides me in a 124 HP car.
