The Matrix was first introduced in the 2003 model year and based on the Toyota Corolla platform. Relatively unchanged in 2004, a facelift for 2005 brought minor revisions to the exterior - mainly revised styling to the front fascia due to complaints of rubbing the ground on the previous incarnation and adding clear lenses to the taillamps. Also, the center instrument panel was slightly redesigned and featured a Toyota [[head unit]] in place of the previous [[General Motors|GM]]-sourced radio.


The song Smile was first performed at Gilmour's 2001 and 2002 live shows (and also on the accompanying DVD). It was eventually recorded at his houseboat studio for the 2006 album ''[[On An Island]]''.
Two 1.8&nbsp;L [[Internal combustion engine|engines]] were offered in the Matrix: the [[Toyota ZZ engine|1ZZ-FE]] used in the Corolla, which originally made {{Convert|130|hp|kW}} in 2003 and 2004 models, but was reduced to {{Convert|127|hp|kW}} in 2005, and the performance-oriented 2ZZ-GE taken from the [[Toyota Celica]] GT-S,<ref name="MT-NBW"/> which produced {{convert|164|hp|kW}} (previously {{Convert|180|hp|kW}} in 2003, {{Convert|173|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} in 2004, and {{Convert|170|hp|kW}} in 2005).


Island Jam was initially available via Gilmour's website before being made more widely available.
In late 2006, Toyota discontinued use of the [[Toyota_ZZ_engine#2ZZ-GE|2ZZ-GE]] engine and dropped the XRS from the Matrix lineup to be temporarily replaced by the M-Theory edition. Like each year of the XRS model, the M-Theory was a limited production run of 2500 cars.<ref name="CC-07TM">{{citeweb|title=2007 Toyota Matrix Review|author=Peters, Eric|url=http://www.thecarconnection.com/fullreview/toyota_matrix_2007|publisher=''[[The Car Connection]]''|accessdate=2008-07-24}}</ref> Up until the 2007 model year, the Matrix was available in [[all wheel drive]] with the 1ZZ engine, but the drivetrain was dropped for the first generation's last year of production.<ref name="CC-07TM"/>

{{2000s-single-stub}}
====Standard====
{{David Gilmour}}
Starting out at $14,670 in 2003, the no frills base model came with few options. While it did come with air conditioning, it left out such niceties as color-keyed mirrors and door handles, blacked out window frames, and power windows, locks, and mirrors. [[Ground effects]], a rear window riper, and alloy wheels were also stricken from the options list by Toyota, forcing buyers to go with an XR or XRS model if they wished to have features like six-way adjustable seats and variable intermittent windshield wipers. However, one option the base model could be had with was AWD for an additional $1465 (although the actual increase was $2445, since AWD only came with an automatic transmission). Adding AWD brought the car's curb weight of {{Auto lb|2679}} up to {{Auto lb|2943}} and decreased power by {{Convert|7|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} and {{Auto lbft|7}}.<ref>http://autos.aol.com/cars-compare?cur_page=details&v1=USB30TOC171A0&v2=USB30TOC172A0&v3=USB30TOC171B0&v4=USB30TOC172B0&v5=USB30TOC171C0 AOL Autos Compare Cars</ref><ref>http://autos.aol.com/cars-Toyota-Matrix-2003/expert-review 2003 Toyota Matrix Complete Review

[[Category:2006 singles]]
====XR====
The mid-grade trim level, the XR was designed to combine the cheapness of the base model with the looks of the XRS. By checking this option on the order sheet, customers got standard features like color-matched mirrors and door handles, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a panic button on the [[key fob]]. Options not available on the base included a [[sunroof]], ground effects, and 16" alloy wheels. In 2007, the previously XRS-exclusive 17" wheels became an option on the XR when the XRS was discontinued. A 2003 XR started at $16,180 and {{Auto lb|2701}}, but when equipped with AWD cost at least $18,445 and weighed in at {{Auto lb|2965}} - only $305 less than an XRS. Like the base model, the AWD engine was detuned.
====XRS====
The top-of-the-line model, the XRS came standard with four-wheel disc brakes and six speakers (the two extra speakers were [[tweeter]]s) - extras not available on the other trim levels. Also included on all XRSes were [[anti-lock brakes]] with electronic distribution, [[cruise control]], and 16" alloy wheels. In 2003, 17" wheels could be had, but only on cars without a sunroof. An option combining 17" wheels and a sunroof became available the second year of production.

The [[pièce de résistance]], however, was Toyota's high-tech [[2ZZ-GE]] engine. Displacing {{Auto cc|1796}}, or 109.6 cubic inches, it produced {{Convert|180|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} and {{Auto lbft|130}} - an incredible 100&nbsp;horsepower-per-liter. While its 11.5:1 [[compression ratio]] was a large factor in its performance, what set the engine apart was its ability to alter timing and valve lift through Toyota's [[VVTL-i]].

A testament to Toyota's engineering, during testing by [[Motor Trend]] and [[Sport Compact Car]], the Matrix was able to come to a full stop from 60&nbsp;mph in only 114 feet.<ref name="MT-NBW"/> On a [[skidpad]], the car achieved .83&nbsp;[[g-force|g]],<ref>{{citeweb|title=Toyota Matrix XRS|url=http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/comparison_test/station_wagons/chrysler_pt_cruiser_vs_ford_focus_pontiac_vibe_mazda_protege5_suzuki_aerio_toyota_matrix_comparison_test+page-5.html|publisher=''[[Car and Driver]]''|accessdate=2008-10-12}}</ref> only .03&nbsp;g less than the [[Toyota_Celica#Seventh_generation_.2F_T230_series_.282000-2005.29|Celica GTS]].<ref>{{citeweb|title=Toyota Thunder: TRD Celica GT-S - Road Test|url=http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/hot_lists/high_performance/japanese_performance/toyota_thunder_trd_celica_gt_s_road_test|publisher=''[[Car and Driver]]''|accessdate=2008-10-12}}</ref> Unfortunately, due to being [[front wheel drive]], the Matrix has a [[weight distribution]] of 59/41.<ref name="MT-NBW"/><ref>http://autos.aol.com/cars-compare?cur_page=details&v1=USB30TOC171B0&v2=USB30TOC172B0&v3=USB30TOC171C0&v4=USB30TOC171A0</ref>

===Recalls===
In May 2008, Toyota issued a [[Product recall|recall]] for 2003 and 2004 model year Corollas and Matrixes. The recall notice cites two window bolts in each of the front doors as potentially causing either front window to come off the track and break. This recall only applies to models equipped with power windows.<ref>Toyota Recall Notice - SSC 80A - "2003 through 2004 Model Year Corolla and Corolla Matrix front door glass bolts safety recall notice"</ref> General Motors soon after issued a recall for the same issue present on Toyota's counterpart vehicle 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe vehicles with power windows.
