Got rolled on by a Toyota Matrix the other day...
1/2 mile down, light just turned red, i'm in right lane, matrix in middle. there is nobody on the line ahead of me, but there is a guy waiting at the red in front of the matrix.
i'm cruising in 4th OD, matrix is on my left just about 1/4 car along side me. he punches it obviously to try to get ahead of me in low gear, he starts pulling some.
I think, "i'm not having that BS", and I punch it. matrix pulls about 2' ahead of me before we slow down, maybe about 1/4 mile later and at about 55mph.
i still got my start spot, i guess.
but damn these old 400s are slow
i blame the transmission. took about 2/3s to decide to downshift

There are 2 different engines used in the matrix. The standard slow 1zz which is also used in the corolla and the matrix. Then there is the faster and more mod friendly 2zz which is used in the XRS models. The 2zz is also used in the Lotus Elise and exige (supercharged).
