Are you tall? If so go with the toyota. You should think about a different style of car though. I was looking at those two and got the carolla matrix by toyota. I'm so glad I did. Another way to get a matrix is to buy a pontiac vibe because it is the same car as the matrix. The two companies cooperate. In that syle you have the Chevy HHR, Vibe, Matrix, Dodge Caliber, Ford Focus wagon. These are economy cars that are more in style.
