No respect, no respect at all for these cars that get no notice.

I can't figure out why they stay in North American with a plant that makes 50,000 vehicles a year. It's got to exist solely for the purpose of being a tax write-off.The Mitsubishi bit made me laugh.
I sold a 2001 Matrix to buy my JSW. Car was not comfortable to drive for a long time (at least for me) but did have alot of storage. All the power was in the upper RPM range so had little pick-up.I used to have a Matrix, the JSW replaced it. Other than being a bit noisy and having a quaint 4 speed automatic, it was a very practical vehicle for $17,000.00 in 2005. If they would put in a 1.6 liter diesel and a 6 speed manual (and undercut the JSW prices) they would sell like hot cakes. In 114,000 miles, I: changed the plugs, put one set of ceramic brake pads on, replaced one headlight bulb, changed the fluids on schedule, went through the original and 1 replacement set of tires, replaced the battery. My niece is now driving it.
There is a reason the other cars aren't advertised, their companies are embarassed about them.
Yep they are econo commuter cars that can carry 3 bales of insulation or an 8 foot 2x4 inside. No luxury and a good bit of road noise. They were $17,000.00 though with cast iron reliability and reasonable mpg for the year. It suited the job at the time.I sold a 2001 Matrix to buy my JSW.
