Hey house I’m a bit torn on which to purchase. I absolutely love the corolla just for the fuel efficiency as I have seen that you can get a whooping combined 30MPG driving in the highway and within the city. My only worry is the bad road it looks like the corolla is too low to the ground.

The matrix on the other hand has a slightly higher ground clearance but a lower MPG. And not to mention a bit slower because it’s heavier than the corolla and they share exact engine 1.8l 4 plugs.

The prices are relative the same with the matrix being slightly cheaper.

So my question, is there any way to complement the shortcomings of the corolla? Maybe getting bigger rims? Or should I just go for the matrix? Are there any other advantage I could be missing from the corolla aside what I just mentioned?

This is what I currently use but i raised it a little

Thanks @luckize any specific reason you didn’t choose the matrix??

am hearing this for the first time

Not really for women... It's far better for bad road area

I ended up choosing corolla over matrix. In terms of fuel efficiency, I m not regretting my decision. I may decide to go for uber or taxify soon too. I am aware you can't use hatchback cars like matrix for it. I use 09 corrolla sport edition. And the car is sweet to ride forget about its being low on the ground.
