Goodbye 1zz, Hello 2zz!

Ah! An auto! It's way slower! Oh well.

should have gotten a manual, much faster

iam never going to buy an auto just not my style

Goodbye 1zz, Hello 2zz!

I just traded my 02 Corolla CE in for the fully loaded silver 03 Matrix XRS. The trix had only 10K on it and I couldn't pass it up. It's an auto (I'm to lazy to shift). I am very impressed with the power, the only thing that sucks is now I have to buy premium gas

I will post some pics later.

nice man u will enjoy it

Why is everyone getting rid of there rollas this year.
Nice Car, Nice Buy

hahaha, that's the same reason my dad can never buy another manual no matter how bad he wants one

LOL, my parnets hate manuals, thats the only reason why I had to get a auto
If I got a manual I would have to park it outside of my parnets neighboorhood and walk home. I just wish I got the car after I moved out

that makes no sense at all

It still is a rolla

so you got it! no offense but I would have went with the xb anyway talk to me about the parts

yeah yeah guys, lol, they didn't have a manual used for the price I paid. The deal I got was a once in a lifetime buy.

Umm... I thought the Matrix XRS only came with a 6-speed manual...

the 04 plus ones only come with the 6 speed. the 03 was available with an auto

I would have got a Matrix XR with the 1ZZ engine since the 2ZZ GE engine in Matrix is not that useful because of the heavy weight and the auto transmission does not make things better. That is the reason auto tranny has been discontinued from the Matrix XRS since it did not torque the engine enough to make good use of the high rev power. Otherwise, a good alternative to Celica GT-S and to get a practical car that you can use for everyday driving and good fuel economy, but lots of on-demand power, Corolla XRS with a 6 speed manual transmission fits the bill perfectly since it weighs only 2600 lbs a tad more than an automatic Corolla S and over 200 lbs less than the Matrix XRS.

sounds to me that your too scared of the 6 spd so u got an auto. Theres no such thing as a good deal that u cant pass up. There will alwats be a better deal.

I still don't understand how why Toyota put a auto tranny onto the 2ZZ. Eww.

cuz they kno lazy bums hate stick

lol, good point. Should explain why Toyota made the Supra TT in auto as well.

Toyota's market is lazy, fat, kids, soccer moms, and family people who don't care for making the A to B trip any more difficult than it already is...like puttin the car in 1st every time you gotta go again...

Lazy and fat. That's me.

i dont mind the shifting....its the damn clutch. I dont mind stick at all if 1. Im racing 2. need to save gas 3. have someone in the car to keep my mind off the clutch foot work. The only way ill ever buy auto again is if my wife bitches me to get a family car cuz im pussy whipped.

Heh..both my parents like sporty cars with manual transmissions...maybe I'm lucky.

Now just if we *had* a sporty car with a manual transmission..haha

my manual keeps me awake during those long trips

but the xB is kool

That's because theres a lot of buyers over here that prefer auto.

LEKZ what makes no sense, my post about my parnets.

If that is it, my parnets are strange, and control freaks. SO if I bought the car a manual my first where going to hate for it and make me pay.
Its a long story man

ok now it makes sense

I know its fucked up and weird.

they only automatic i think i will ever buy is like a mini van or suv. other than that it will all be sticks. everyone should own one or at least be able to drive on. it can come in handy more times than you think. but the auto is much slower than the manual.
