My wife and I just took delivery of a 2005 Matrix XR.

This will be our shared running around town/road trip car.

The car is an automatic and it has 76K miles on it.

What can you Matrix owners tell me about these cars?

What should I look out for?

Is there and MP3/iTunes plug-n-play port or mod for the factory head unit to allow this?


It's a neat little car and fun to drive :)

Thanks!

I had the dealer replace the serpentine belt & cabin filter and change the oil and filter today.
Everything checked out fine.

Does anyone have a chart for scheduled maintenance on these vehicles?
I would like to know when certain things (timing belt, transmission, etc...) need to be serviced .

Thanks
