2010 Toyota Matrix - Great car for the right person

I purchased this vehicle in 2010 for one of my daughters and paid it off quickly (by 2012). However, shortly around 2013, my daughter could not afford to keep making payments to me, so we "swapped cars" - and I ended up with this one! It's a great little car with many nice features: sunroof, cruise, CD player, "zippy" and it's a hatchback for easy storage for travel. I would have expected this car to get more mpg, though.

Story

Driving to my parent's home with the sunroof open and two of my children and me singing at the top of my lungs! It's a great car to drive with the windows open and music cranked!

Pros

Love the sunroof, it's small enough to easily park, I love the sound system in the car.

Cons

It's small. My middle daughter is 6'4" and cannot correctly or comfortably fit behind the wheel. I also have a 6'4" son. When I'm driving and both of them are in the backseat, it's horridly squished! (I'm 5'9" - so it's rather perfect for me; although I drive with the driver's seat all the way back.) The backseat is way small (legroom). I feel a lot of the bumps when I go over them in the car. The mpg is only about 18.
