Wagon, under $23,000
Toyota Matrix
|
| Although sister vehicles the Toyota Matrix and the Pontiac Vibe may have been separated at birth, they were joined at the hip in the Wagon, under $23,000 segment. However, despite the closeness, the Matrix had cost-of-ownership that measured over 10% lower than expected, outpacing the Vibe and winning Vincentric’s Best Value in America award for the second year in a row. |
