I’d just like to point out one bit of info that was kind of left out in the article.
Unlike the base Vibe, which offers both traction and stability control for 15995$, you have to buy at least a matrix XR with option group B for 21190$ to get those lifesaving devices.
As a father, I don’t get the point of Toyota, and I think more people should know that gm sells a safer version of the matrix for less $$$.
Btw, I don’t work for gm and I’m the owner of a Toyota Avalon 2003, with ESC and Traction control. IMO, those ‘options’, paired with snow tires, are a must in winter.
Thanks for your time, and please spread the message…Stability control is less glamorous than leather seats, but much more useful.
