Anyway the 5-mph bumper did it's job, but due to the angle of impact the Front Left-Hand Fender was Twisted and damaged! The damage is purely sheet/metal/cosmetic and the Care Still Drives Straight and goes down the road just fine! Structure this car goes down the road as straight as an arrow and on it's most recent Front End Alignment the was no deviation from it's previous 18 month alignment. Most people shopping for a Toyota Matrix know of the high acclaim given to this particular 1.8 liter 1ZZ-FE, VVT-i 16-Valve engine series. The main Reason in Dependability, Durability and Reduced Maintenance due to it's Excellent Engineering Design and Reputation. One feature that is well appreciated is it's long wearing internal Timing Gears, Tensioners and Chain. Unlike many Honda's, Fords's, Mazda's and Volkswagen's which have rubber timing belts (many interference type) that need service and replacement with water pumps and a whole host of other related accessories ever 40-60,000 miles at cost exceeding a $800-$1,200.00 in many cases, this engine just quietly and dependably goes on and on and costs Nothing!

Many of the over $6,000.00 plus (having invoices for all and definately lost two or more and includes the $595.00 Python REMOTE Start and Security System) spent on this car was pro-active type preventive repairs prior to their needs! For example both FWD C.V. Axles, Front Suspension Bushings and Wheel Bearings were replaced in 2015 when a a couple torn rubber/leaking boots were discovered!
