Fun car I have a 2006 Manuel 6 speed.

U got conned it automatic xrs should be manual it a racing engine

I also managed to find a set of 4x Nordman solstice tires off of facebook market for $265. The manufacturing date on it is 0622 (Feb 2022). The original owner said his 2002 civic died so he ended up junking the car and salvaging the tires that he was only able to use for less than 6 months. I basically hit the jackpot and got nearly brand new tires for 1/3 of msrp and it came with rims for a Honda civic that I'll probably end up selling to recoup the costs lol. The tires will end up going on to my toyota prius prime for next year's winter since this year's snow is most likely over.

Thanks for the review Vancouverite also. How does your brother liking them. Think I might get them also for myself

From my understanding, the GT trims from 2000 to 2002 could potentially burn oil, but the GTS trim didn't have that issue? Or am I wrong?

Thank God you covered the plate

It should have electric remote control locking key.

the butt quite spacious

Now I can finally see how the M-Mode is supposed to work. I just recently bought a used 2000 GT-S, though the only difference is the automatic shifter gate does not have the indent to the left of the stick. Also feels like the stick does not shift over to the left, and I'm not entirely sure why. If anyone knows how to fix this, or what may be wrong, please respond.

I didnt even know they made these in auto that's crazy

I had the Wr’s and was very happy . Kal tires told me they didn’t have them any more and I had to get the Solstice. I am not as happy with them . They are loud. , but they are good in snow.

So why this car over a corolla? Do you need the space in back? These are same price as corolla but corolla has better gas mileage and all around better car.

very helpful! are you at mountainwood? your storage looks exactly like mountainwood's!

nice test! i just put on a set of nordman solstice all weather tires on my suv, i will see how well they do in the upcoming winter, your matrix did very well considering the road conditions

Love mine

Here is what I have learned about All-Weather tires: They are supposed to be used for people who live in areas that usually have green grass on their lawns MOST of the winter, and only occasionally get some snowfall on the roads. If you live in an area where your grass is covered with snow during the winter months then All-Weather tires are not for you and you need to get Winter tires instead. Vancouver usually has green grass in the winter, so All-weather tires are perfect for Vancouver.

If you live in an apartment, and you only have one small little storage cubicle like those shown in this video, you either buy 'all-weather' tires for your car, or you keep the second set of winter tires on the balcony of the apartment.

Ur car did pretty well , had u had awd i imagine id be alot better.. Also studs on dedicated winter is not a fair comparison to all weather tires. Id say all weather is a good all round tire like grade b for every condition while a snow tire with studs is a a+ for snow /ice and a f for just about every other type of weather.

Dear brother, the spare parts of RXS are same as XR and Base ? thanks

Can you do a video driving it? An acceleration video? Do you ever use lift in the Matrix? Ever go over 6000 rpm in it? There are NO videos of the 2ZZ automatic XRS driving, no reviews on it, no official 0-60 times on it, nothing!

I like your Doraemon :)

@thomasnetworld - A couple of comments mention WR G2 and WR G4. Are they different than the Nordman WR All weather that you bought? I was hoping to get Nordman Soltice (apparently the updated WR, but I can only find them in stock in at Kal Tires Kingston. I'm looking for Toronto).

If you're attempting to provide a good review of these tires, you probably shouldn't be using the word, "infamous", which means that something (or someone) is well-known for bad qualities or behavior. Maybe check your vocabulary.

thank you for the information, but please stop slapping your knee.

why are they so-called "infamous"?

Nordman WR same as Nordman Solstice?

I love this car trust me

Ребята. Все. Эти. Липучки. 2. Сезона. Ещё. Держатся. А. Потом. На. Них. Как. На. Лыжах

supreme gaz?? never done that into mine, 330 000km and counting x)

I have the exact same car. Wish it was a stick.

Wrong, I have a 2005 and it has the lip and rear diffuser. And the xrs didn't only come in automatic in 2003.

Great video.

Is it a good car

You can use the boot if you pull it out ( not inverted but expanded ). I'm going to try putting this on as my low beams and the 18000lm as my high beams

I just drove through 6 inches of snow in Ottawa the other day on a set of 5year old X ice 3 tires,. no problem at all. Have also driven in some really bad freezing rain as well with no issues. good tires!

EDIT: 3:45: When comparing the LEDs vs Halogens beam pattern, my brother accidentally had the high beams turned ON, when running the DRLs. Therefore the beam was much higher than the low beams.

Beamtech led is not useful in moonsoon or winter, you need halogen bulb only

Not one actual test 😂

@thomasnetworld how many season did he have them tucked away, tire safety degrades after 6 years of age sitting or not

Interesting vid, thanks! I find myself in the same position and this helped make the decision.

They are Nokian. It's not a copy. They are the old WR G2.

Not the best tires for summer driving but in return don't have to keep 2 sets of tires. Can get away in winter in Toronto but if you drive in Alberta or Saskatchewan better have proper winter tires.

Does anyone’s get hot under the steering wheel when driving?

Very informative.

Do celica aut gts come turbo ?

Generally, I'm a GM person, most likely I'm a Chevy person, but I think buying a 2001 Toyota Celica is ok. Also, driving the 2001 Toyota Celica is like driving a Japanese Ford Mustang.

I have a 2004 base model Matrix with the 5spd myself, and I think that the Matrix / Vibe was the best hatchback car ever built. More interior space and more reliable than basically any other hatch made in that era. :D

I bought a 00 Celica gts auto. It has no sunroof :( but it has 140k miles. Got it for 1700$.

I'm thinking of getting the XR '03. I'm kinda worried about how it would deal with all the potholes from the winter time in my area being that it's so low.

Is it faster than a stick xrs?
