Quick summary
Total: 598 cars
The 2007 Hyundai Matrix has an overall defect rate of 371 per 100 vehicles, which is slightly higher than the yearly average of 352 per 100, representing a 5% increase. Notably, while tyre wear is common across many vehicles, this model stands out in the category of "Other" defects, performing better than average. However, it shows significant weaknesses in "Steering," "Body/Structure," and "Equipment" categories, with defect rates notably exceeding the average rates for these issues. Additionally, as mileage increases, the defect rate climbs sharply, particularly for vehicles over 124,000 miles, highlighting potential long-term reliability concerns.
