If so, wondering what your thoughts are about it. How is it to drive on a daily basis? How's the room with the rear seats folded up? With them folded down?
TIA.
TIA.
anyone have a Toyota Matrix as a bike hauler?

A fellow coworker had one, he had his road bike in it most of the time.
My wife has a 2004 Celica and she can haul 2 MTB's inside the car with the seats folded down and the bikes on their sides... not to mention she gets about 33-35 mpg
Friend of mine has one. Thule super g racks.. works well..... Bikes tend to sway a bit But works well
I have a Pontiac Vibe - essentially the same vehicle. Same engine, and basically same chassis. I love it. I can put the entire bike in the back with the seats folded down if I need to. However, I have a Sportworks T2 rack that allows me to carry 2 DH bikes easily.
These cars take a class 1 or 2 hitch, which means 1-1/4" receiver.
Got my hitch online and installed it myself (the husband wasn't home and I'm the impatient type). 19mm deep sock, I think.
I got the 6 speed. 28-30 mpg on the highway. Great vehicle.
