The matrix is basically a corolla with a hatchback, the Camry is a mid size sedan, Reliability both vehicles are reliable if you get one that was well maintained by the previous owner(s) they can run forever, Resale value, I mean, they are Toyotas they have high resale value, just maintain it well, Maintenance cost, they are close but the Camry is more expensive a little, Handling, they are Toyotas from 05/06 they handle like crap don't expect any great handling performance, if you want a vehicle that handles well go for the Germans or get a recent TRD camry. You can't go wrong with either of the two (Camry or corolla matrix), they are reliable vehicles and can last forever.

Thanks for d insight.

From the review i read on d Toyota matrix, people complained that d front tyres wear very fast. Others complained of road noise wen driving.

For those that have used it, kindly confirm.

Thanks
