Toyota Corolla 2006 Vs. Toyota Matrix 2005: Which Should I Buy by Loujay(m): 10:39pm On Apr 28, 2019
I am about to buy my first car with little or no experience of these two cars or cars in general. Leggedis Benz don tire me. Please car gurus, I need your candid advice on which of either Toyota Corolla 2006 or Toyota Matrix 2005 I should go for, having in mind issues of maintenance, fuel economy, design, etc. Also, backing up your advice with your experience with any of the two cars, if any, would be of invaluable help.

I will advice you go for Matrix, it’s more of a mini-SUV. Same maintenance with the Corolla but little peace of mind, and enough cargo space.

You are buying almost the same thing. The toyota corrola shares same suspension parts, engine and transmission parts. They use same a/c components.

the issues surrounding fuel economy maintenance and design. Only the design factor would come in.


let me give you an example.

This car https://www.nairaland.com/4986227/toks-2012-camry-s.e-4cyl shares same engine type, transmission, a/c and a few other components, and goes for same price as this car

https://www.nairaland.com/5142651/2009-toyota-highlander-front-wheel

both cars around same price, but use is different. The camry is more of an executive ride, while the Highlander is mostly used by family men

The matrix would carry more load and is more of a work tool, while the corrola is a little more executive (even though almost all Ehailing drivers use it). The matrix is also 100-200k cheaper in most cases.



Meanwhile those 2 clean rides are up for sale.

They are the same in terms of maintenance and cost. So go for the one that attracts you physically. The engine is the same.

For a first timer, I'll advice you get a Toyota corolla. Fuel consumption is moderate and maintenance is average.

If you buy Corolla be ready to face the sleepless night that comes with it

Car thieves and Corolla na 5 & 6

For me I view the matrix as a car designed by females to be used by females

They are both good cars though

Therefore you should buy .....
























Any of them grin

Toyota Corolla - very decent and not flamboyant; doesn't consume much fuel; same as matrix but comparatively, the body parts is more expensive than matrix.

Corolla is more preferable in terms of fuel economy and maintenance unlike the matrix which no second hand values. Although both have the same engine efficiency but in terms of comfort and durability, I will tell you to go for corolla. I have a friend that have used the corolla b4 and I can see the level of maintenance and durability.

I have both cars so let me give you some tips.

My matrix is 4wd so that is the one I can talk about not the single drive version.

The parts of my matrix are more expensive than the corrola. What i buy for 3500 in corrolla I buy for 12,000 in matrix.

The matrix is strong though but the corrolla is more fuel efficient
