Lexus Rx 350 2010 Or Toyota Venza 2010 / What Used Car To Buy In Nigeria With 1.2m Either Lexus Or Toyota Or Honda Evil S / Toyota Corolla 2006 Vs. Toyota Matrix 2005: Which Should I Buy (2) (3) (4)
Toyota Ascent Or Toyota Matrix by Damolux01(m): 11:22am On Sep 08, 2019 |
Which would you go for? Would appreciate succinct analysis from the auto gurus here. I would have gone for a 2005/06 Corolla instead, but just detest the fact that it's too common. But I'm equally being meticulous not choose wrong from the choices of Pontiac vibe, Toyota Matrix and Toyota Corolla Ascent. Attached here is a pix for the Toyota Ascent for those that really do not know it that well.

I no know say this is corolla na ascent. I love it like mad. If it is fuel efficient, rugged, available cheap parts and cheap to the pure water corolla go for it. |

suco01:Same here. Really love the shape. Just don't know if it's as good as our pure water Corolla. Lol, let the gurus aid us. |
Re: Toyota Ascent Or Toyota Matrix by Damolux01(m): 1:03pm On Sep 08, 2019 |
EgunMogaji2:Help me with some factual fact pls. Why do you prefer it to Ascent? |
Re: Toyota Ascent Or Toyota Matrix by kingreign(m): 1:08pm On Sep 08, 2019 |
Damolux01: Do you love speed and performance or you're all about economy? Let's answer this first then I'd go ahead to tell you what's your best choice. |
Re: Toyota Ascent Or Toyota Matrix by Damolux01(m): 2:37pm On Sep 08, 2019 |
kingreign:Speed and Performance is 1st choice. Economy is 2nd choice. |
Re: Toyota Ascent Or Toyota Matrix by EgunMogaji2: 2:41pm On Sep 08, 2019 |
Damolux01: The Matrix/Corolla is the bread and butter of Toyota in the USA. The rest is just personal preferences. |
Re: Toyota Ascent Or Toyota Matrix by kingreign(m): 3:13pm On Sep 08, 2019 |
Damolux01: Get the corolla hatchback called T-sports Kompressor. Its an EU (German Specs with 224hp) it'd kill most sedans, but its a Manual transmission most times. 1 Like |

kingreign:German specs again.

Re: Toyota Ascent Or Toyota Matrix by Damolux01(m): 7:58pm On Sep 08, 2019 |
kingreign:It has to be Auto Transmission bro. BTW...what model is the T-sport Kompressor. Same price range with the Ascent, Corolla and Matrix? |

kingreign:I heard they are collectors item. |
Re: Toyota Ascent Or Toyota Matrix by kingreign(m): 8:58pm On Sep 08, 2019 |
AutoMoTech: They're gonna be the next best sleeper cars. |
Re: Toyota Ascent Or Toyota Matrix by AutoMoTech(m): 10:51pm On Sep 08, 2019 |
kingreign:But sadly they wont be available. Biys go soon start dey add tripple boost to that engine |
Re: Toyota Ascent Or Toyota Matrix by Damolux01(m): 11:30pm On Sep 08, 2019 |
kingreign:Thanks bro...Just read about it. Nice ride, I really have no problem with it being a Manual. But wait o, are the cars all right-hand drive? The VVTL i4 engine would be a beast on the road. |
Re: Toyota Ascent Or Toyota Matrix by kingreign(m): 7:28am On Sep 09, 2019 |
Damolux01: Left hand drove exists. |
Re: Toyota Ascent Or Toyota Matrix by Damolux01(m): 9:07am On Sep 09, 2019 |
kingreign:I'm having problems checking out the prices online, not even one seen here as well. If you're to sell a 2006 model to me...How much would be your last price? Since the ride isn't that common bro, hope maintenance won't be on the high side? Availability of spare parts, Experienced mechanics etc |
Re: Toyota Ascent Or Toyota Matrix by AutoMoTech(m): 10:47am On Sep 09, 2019 |
Damolux01:Bros.. i will advice you to just carry mind from that ride. Its a hard find. Even d corolla xrs dt is a little rare we still dey see am. Talkless of this little beast that is turbo'ed. Americans love anything turbo. So any one they see available dey will snap it up like immediately. U no go even see am... A video review i saw, the guy in UK admitted that in d present moment dt ride is a collectors item |
Re: Toyota Ascent Or Toyota Matrix by AutoMoTech(m): 10:48am On Sep 09, 2019 |
@kingreign what do you think about the corolla XRS. That's easier to find na compared to this Ascent |
Re: Toyota Ascent Or Toyota Matrix by kingreign(m): 11:20am On Sep 09, 2019 |
Damolux01:If 2.5m minimum no drop, I no sell that Corolla T-sports kompressor. |
Re: Toyota Ascent Or Toyota Matrix by Damolux01(m): 12:05am On Sep 10, 2019 |
AutoMoTech:As in...I tried searching to on Copart and Iaai...not much of a go. Now, I detest the fact that Corolla is too common, Matrix is being labelled ladies car...T sport no go area too...Civic has a very bad shape. What other good ride would you suggest in the range of 1.5m to 1.6m? |
Re: Toyota Ascent Or Toyota Matrix by Damolux01(m): 12:08am On Sep 10, 2019 |
kingreign:That's on a very high side. Was thinking the car falls in the range of the price of Matrix and Corolla, If I'm to spend 2.5m know a ride, I'll prefer a Muscle Camry or Es 330. |
Re: Toyota Ascent Or Toyota Matrix by kingreign(m): 11:32am On Sep 10, 2019 |
Damolux01: That's not an ordinary corolla. Its a sleeper. Faster than a Camry or ES. |
Re: Toyota Ascent Or Toyota Matrix by autosina: 7:55pm On Sep 10, 2019 |
You can consider a scion tc, if you wont mind a 3doors car.note you scion is a subsidiary of Toyota so you are still getting same Toyota engine; a Mazda 3 hatchback or; the iconic Lexus is300 (2000-2004) aka bullet proof engine, it's a 3.0 liter performance 6plug engine and a rear wheel drive sport sedan in its league. |
Re: Toyota Ascent Or Toyota Matrix by Damolux01(m): 11:47pm On Sep 10, 2019 |
kingreign:Hmmm... |
Re: Toyota Ascent Or Toyota Matrix by Damolux01(m): 11:49pm On Sep 10, 2019 |
autosina:No...I'm not sure I want this. That 3.0 V6 scares me bro. What's your take on Pontiac Vibe 06 model? |
Re: Toyota Ascent Or Toyota Matrix by Damolux01(m): 11:49pm On Sep 10, 2019 |
kingreign:What your take on a Pontiac Vibe 06 model? |
Re: Toyota Ascent Or Toyota Matrix by seanfer(m): 12:13am On Sep 11, 2019 |
Damolux01: Pontiac Vibe is Toyota Matrix in another body. The only difference is that Pontiac Vibes body parts are so expensive. Go for Matrix. 1 Like |

Damolux01: Buy the Matrix. The Toyota Matrix is an "improved" Corolla. You get ALL the benefits of a Corolla (they use the same engine, and share most of their parts in common) plus a bigger trunk/boot, 4WD option (Corolla is 2WD), and a higher profile on the road (Matrix looks like a baby SUV). On top of all that, the Matrix is much less common on the road, and in 2019, where nearly all Corollas on the road are Uber / Bolt cars, people won't think you're an Uber driver! ![]() Only downside is that the Matrix is SLIGHTLY costlier than the Corolla. Only slightly. Check prices and compare. Fun Fact: The official name for the Matrix (in Toyota's books) was actually Toyota Corolla Matrix, a pointer to the fact that the Matrix was a direct derivation of the Corolla. The Matrix was discontinued in 2014, but continues to hold very strong resale value. Buy the Matrix! 3 Likes |
