Though the name is trendy, the Matrix is actually a very practical compact station wagon. Sporty styling helps dispel the notion that wagons must look utilitarian. A 126-bhp, 1.8L I-4 powers the Matrix. Transmission options include a 5-speed manual and a 4-speed automatic. Options include a JBL® 6-disc CD audio system, Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), and 17-inch alloy wheels.
