1.8 or 2.4 engine ? by laserblue

Is there a really difference between the 1.8 and 2.4 engines?
  I do mostly city driving with short distance on the freeway and take 1 road trip (vacation) each year in summer, usually from Upper State N.Y. to Florida but next year we plan to go to Washington State so got to cross the Rockies.
  Will the 1.8 L be powerful enough to cross those mountains or I should go for the 2.4 L?

You may try disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it. This resets it and hopefully the problem will disappear.

My friend just bought a 2010 Matrix and she says that she'll need winter tires pretty soon. Her original 4 seasons are 205/55/16 does she have to stay with the same size on winter tires or can she buy other sizes. If yes, what sizes can she buy?

2003 Toyota Matrix Odometer by q_ball

I have a 2003 Toyota Matrix whose odometer is stuck at 299,999. You must pay to change the odometer and Toyota refuses to change this even though the vehicle is not near the end of its lifetime.

Lower grill block by circuitsmith

Since the engine doesn't need as much cooling in the winter I blocked the lower grill:
 

 

 
I made it with a 4x30" piece of black foam core and a couple of cable ties.
 
I hope I save a little gas by warming up the engine faster.

2005 Matrix Clutch/Transmissions OK? by andyinsb

I'm in the market for a used Matrix. A 2005 XRS (6-speed manual) has come up for sale in my area. Searching the forums here, it sounds like there were a lot of problems with the transmission and clutch on 2003 and 2004 manual-transmission Matrixes. Does anyone know if these problems also occur in the 2005 XRS?
 
Thanks!
Andy

Did Toyota tell you that 299,999 intentionally set at the factory as a maximum reading? It makes no sense, especially considering the Corolla commericals that brag about how many miles the vehicles have gone.

Winter tires by laserblue

My original tires are 205/55/16 all seasons.
  My friend told me that I can install 225/70/16 winter tires on the same rim.
  Is it possible or I need the exact size?
