He is a good 17 year old kid. Does what hes told, does good in school, and is a good, safe driver. His birthday is coming up and i was thinking of buying him a brand new 2008 Toyota Matrix XR. Is this a good car for a teen? Do you think, he'll like it?

Q: I have a 2003 Toyota Matrix that i need help with a fog light installation!?
2003 Toyota Matrix-Basic Model with no fog lights or factory switch. I purchased lights with wiring and a switch off of ebay to match my car. I bought a factory switch as well because i want it to look professional. How do i get the wires from the old switch to the factory switch...if i splice it...it looks like i have 7 different wires to my 3 prong connection of the switch? Any ideas?
A: most cars with factory fog lights will turn off when the high beams are turned on and most aftermarket light kits have a relay so not much amperage goes through the switch so you have a little of everything so I suggest that you wire it up like an aftermarket kit and use an ohm meter to find what teminals on the factory switch will be closed[on] or open[off] and connect the wires like it says in the aftermarket kit but using the factory switch

What type of tires come stock in a Toyota Matrix, XR, 2005, Four Door, FWD?
I'm looking to replace tires, and want to match. If you know speed rating, heat rating, and estimated tire life, that would help as well. Car is not here with me, and I'm shopping online. I couldn't find the tires brand/model/ratings that came with original car. I do know the size is P205/55R16
A: Brands are mixed. toyota has their tires made for Toyotas although can be matched with any other tire, same size. Tires are zr rated. they use Toyo, Michelin, Bridgestone, Firestone,and Goodyear. I do not know how they decide which brand and how they choose which brand goes on each car.

Q: Where can I find a 2005 Toyota Matrix AWD owners manual?

Q: Can I pull a tent trailer with a 2005 Toyota Matrix base model?
We're looking to travel the prairies this summer and are wondering if a Matrix has enough punch to haul a trailer on relatively flat roads.
A: You don't have enough information. You didn't specify the weight of the trailer. On the inside of your door frame, you should see the weight rating of your truck. It should list how much weight you can put on the tongue, how much you can pull, how much the overall weight of the truck and trailer can be. If you have your manual, check that as well. Otherwise, I would also go online to Toyota's site and double-check the vehicles weight ratings.
Tent trailers usually don't weigh that much. We pulled a 2000 lb. popup with a 6 cylinder minivan. However, don't just guess that you can pull it. Know for sure.
Q: Toyota Matrix Air Conditioner Fan making noise?
I have a 2005 Toyota Matrix XR with 70,000 miles on it. Today, I turned the AC full blast since it was super hot and I heard a whirring sound for a bit and than a big pop with dust coming out of the vents. After that, I always hear a ticking sound when I turn on the fan whether in AC mode, without or in heating mode. It sounds like something is obstructing the fan.....I hear Tut Tut Tut. Anyone have any ideas what it could be?
Any help would be appreciated.
A: sounds like something has come loose and is hitting the fan you need to pull the fan motor out to check it
Q: What does the xR stand for in the Toyota Matrix?
Ive always wondered what the xR stood for on my matrix. To date, ive thought it ment experimental rally, beacause if that was so then the xRS would stand for Experimental Rally Sport and that seems to make sense. But a part of me still does not believe this is really what it means. Anyone know for sure??
A: Why are all the answers here stupid? Were supposed to answer peoples questions.
You're right. It mean experimental racing.
