Matrix XRS 0-60 is 8.5 seconds. You're smoking something if you think that is fast.

I like the Matrix, too. I was looking at Corollas. I am happy with the way this car is equipped and getting to meet the owner is always a plus! I know he has taken good care of it! He is an entamology professor at the university! He seems like quite the responsible adult!

Professors are the worst! They are really bad at maintenance and don't ever change their oil! You'd better check the engine block for oil spots and make sure there's no metal shavings in the oil.

"Matrix XRS 0-60 is 8.5 seconds"

when the engine is cold maybe and you can't rev past 7k.

take it to redline (8200) and see what happends. i'm not saying the XRS is a "Fast" car... but i'll definitely smoke a mazda protegé5.

protege5's 0-60 is 9.5 seconds

matrix XRS isn't on that page, but even the slower matrix XR is faster than the protege5

8.5 0-60 was the fastest test done. I could have quoted the test that did it in 9.2. It is a little faster than a Protege but you are still just comparing slow to slower. It is like saying I can smoke your rickshaw in my amish buggy.

Matrix XRS times -

"0-30 mph : 3.3 sec.
0-60 mph : 8.9 sec.
30-50 mph : 3.3 sec.
50-70 mph : 5.1 sec.
Quarter Mile : 16.6 sec. @ 85 mph "

My granny could run better 1/4 mile times in her wheelchair.

RE: Scion xA

that quarter mile time is from car and driver... they don't actually drive the cars on a quarter mile track. they use a computer program tha analyses gear ratios, redlines, and max hp numbers to calc the quarter mile time. i'm no racer and i've gotten faster than that stock. a couple people on the matrix forums have gotten a full second faster than that stock. a couple bolt-ons puts you down around 15 flat.
