havent owned one, but i worked on a friends when they first came out.
as you said, they grafted the matrix onto the corolla powertrain. which is a good thing. the corolla is a really dependable car and when stuff starts breaking right around 85k you wont have a problem finding parts for it.
of course with all of the benefits of driving a dressed up corolla you get the negatives. the ride is horrible, and 1.8 liter has no power on the highway. if just drive around town, its no problem, but driving at 75+ is rediculous...you have to downshift make it uphills without dropping to 50. go with the 180 XRS if you have the money.he has about 35k on his car right now and is still really happy with it.
