The Matrix is a various of the E12-family witch is sold in USA:  http://www.toyota.com/matrix/index.html

Bu it´s avaible with two different 1.8liter-engines, 1ZZ-FE and 2ZZ-GE, I think.

Regards, Eric

exactly. the 'trix is made in canada and comes in 3 trim levels. the base and XR come the 1zz-fe motor and are available with the following drivetrains:

FWD 5sp MT or 4sp AT

AWD 4sp AT

the XRS has the 2zz-ge motor coupled with a 6 speed manual gearbox. (same as the celica GT-S, Corolla XRS, and pontiac Vibe GT)

the 2zz engine's second cam lobe provides a longer lift interval on both the intake and exhaust stroke. this means you get more fuel/air into the cylinder for an extra boost in power at higher RPMs

i do so love my Matrix XRS

Matrix XR has the same engine and transmission.

Matrix XRS has 50 more horsepower and a 6 speed, both courtesy of Celica bits.

Think of the Matrix XRS as the lovechild of a Corolla Verso and a Celica 180 hp
