Here are some more information for Matrix Xrs:
Fans of the Pontiac Vibe will have to go to its cousin, the Toyota Matrix, now that Pontiac has been phased out by GM. Both have used the same Toyota engine, but were made at different plants; the Matrix is made in Ontario while the Vibe was made at the GM-Toyota NUMMI plant in California.
The Matrix has two four-cylinder engine options in the 2010 version, a 1.8-liter engine that gets 28 MPG or a 2.4-liter engine that gets 24 MPG. Neither engine appears to have been changed from the 2009 version.
The 2ZR-FE 1.8-liter engine is available only on the basic model of the Matrix, which is rated at 132 horsepower at 6000 RPMS and delivers 128 pound-feet of torque. The Corolla also uses the 2ZR-FE engine and a variant of that engine, the 2ZR-FXE, is used on the Prius.
The larger 2.4 engine, which is required for the S and XRS versions, packs 158 horses and 162 pounds of torque. It also shares the 2AZ-FE engine with the Corolla.
The smaller engine has a 80.5 millimeter bore and a stroke of 88.4 millimeters. The 2.4 liter has a 88.4 mm bore, and a 96.0 mm stroke. Both run on standard 87 octane gas, have double overhead cams and variable valve timing.
The 2.4 liter has a little more oomph to it, but you're probably not buying the Matrix as a muscle car. Thus, the 1.8 liter option seems to be the better of the two options, unless you want the more stylish S and XRS versions of the car.

Check Out The Sporty 2010 Scion Tc
As in previous years, Scion's sporty tC coupe offers only one engine for 2010: Toyota's 2.4-liter 2AZ-FE engine, shared with the Toyota Corolla XRS, Matrix XRS, and Scion xB.
The 2AZ-FE is unchanged for 2010. As before, it is a 16-valve inline four with an aluminum block and head, cast-iron cylinder liners, and chain-driven dual overhead camshafts, with Toyota's VVT-i variable valve timing on the intake cam. It has a total displacement of 2,362 cc, with twin counter-rotating balance shafts for smoothness. In the tC, it is rated at 161 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque.
Despite the tC's sporty mission, torque is the 2AZ-FE's real raison d'être -- no surprise, since versions of this engine have also been used in the four-cylinder Camry, Highlander, and RAV4, as well as Japanese- and European-market Toyota minivans. Many smaller engines can match the 2AZ-FE's 161 horsepower, but not its mid-range muscle. With twin balance shafts, the 2AZ-FE is also very smooth for a big four-cylinder engine. The penalty is fuel economy; the tC's EPA combined rating is only 23 mpg with manual transmission, 24 mpg with automatic. That is slightly worse than Honda's 197-hp Civic Si coupe, although unlike the Civic Si, the tC does not require premium fuel.
In past years, Toyota Racing Development (TRD) offered a dealer-installed supercharger kit for the tC, boosting it to around 200 horsepower, but TRD's catalog does not list kits for 2009 or 2010 models. That may be because Toyota is phasing out the 2AZ-FE in favor of the 2.5-liter 2AR-FE engine, currently used in the RAV4 and Camry.
The current tC dates back to 2004, and there are rumors that Toyota will replace it in 2011 with a new rear-drive coupe, powered by a Subaru-designed 2.0-liter flat four with about 200 horsepower.
