Wife thinks they are cute, Id rather she buy one of those than a P/T Cruiser. Has to be a 5-6 speed, and cant get the AWD unless you get the auto. My choice is a Mazda 3, just a little bigger!

Its worth taking a look at the Subaru outback if you're in search for a small vehicle with AWD ;)

Great vehicle, Not "CUTE, SPORTY" enough! WRX is out of the price range.

No, you can always hope though! Found a brand new Mazda3 2005 left over at a dealer here, but its an automatic and that just wont do. Too bad though, could have got a great deal on it.

My wife has a friend that has one.<br /><br />Apparently, you cannot haul anything in the back of them. We tried to get her to deliver a piece of furniture, as a gift, to their mutual boss as the friend lives within a 1/4 mile, of the boss.<br /><br />She was concerned that her rear seat cushions would take a "set" if she folded the rear seat backs down and put something on top (load floor) :rolleyes: <br /><br />My lowly Ford Freestyle made the delivery-just fine. (20 miles out of our way). :rolleyes: :)

Are you serious?????? They do look somewhat the same, and I know that GM does have interest in Toyota.

Yea Matrix and Vibe are the same thing, both built by Toyota. Vibe is less expensive.
