Following the introduction of the new-generation Matrix for 2009, not much changed for 2010 Toyota Matrix. The biggest news was that all trim levels of the Matrix received stability control and traction control as standard equipment. Otherwise, the same engines and trim levels return: 132-horsepower, 1.8-liter four with a manual or automatic, or 158-horsepower, 2.4-liter four with a choice of three transmissions.

The new styling of the Matrix is more aggressive than the previous generation, but it's still clearly a Matrix. Sixteen-inch wheels are standard on the base model and S, 18-inch wheels are standard on the XRS.

Air conditioning with filter and 12-volt power port are standard across the 2010 Toyota Matrix lineup. Matrix S models add power door locks and windows; XRS adds unique sport fabric, upgraded audio, XM-ready antenna, and aux jack.

We recently tested the Toyota Matrix XRS with the five-speed manual and 2.4-liter four cylinder engine and it went from 0 to 60 in an impressive 7.3 seconds. In addition, it completed the quarter mile in 15.7 seconds at 88.4 mph. However, the engine is unrefined and buzzy and the overall driving experience is somewhat unengaging. Braking numbers were good -- the Matrix stopped from 60 mph in 128 feet.

Dual front airbags, dual front side airbags, and side curtain airbags are standard on the Toyota Matrix. So are stability control, traction control, anti-lock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist, and tire-pressure monitoring.
