The HYUNDAI MATRIX (2008-10) 5DR MPV 1.6 102 CLASSIC AUTO4 is a compact, five-door people carrier, sitting between a small hatchback and a larger family MPV in the UK used-car market. Its upright shape prioritises a roomy-feeling cabin and easy access over sporty looks, making it a practical alternative to conventional small hatchbacks. It suits small families, older drivers or commuters who value a higher seating position and the convenience of an automatic gearbox for town journeys. In 12 mycarcheck.com look-ups covering 10 distinct cars, recorded mileage averaged 65,000 miles and annual use 4,000 miles; these figures describe this checked sample, not every Matrix. Checks also show an average private-sale valuation of £1,300 and around 3.3 previous keepers. Against rivals such as the Honda Jazz and Vauxhall Meriva, the Matrix is a less familiar, value-focused choice; its tall, flexible cabin and simple, easygoing character are its main attractions for buyers.
