We had looked at the Matrix and Vibe a few years ago - was a great car. we had no issue with the seats or anything. Very flexable cargo area - good visiability.
(Althought we actually had the Toyota Dealer tell us the Pontiac Vibe was "Garbage" - I did not realize at the time they were the SAME CAR - i would have called him on that had i known..)

We chose the PT Cruiser - as flexable with the cargo area ( the back seats can actually be removed like the minivans) and we got a really good deal on it.
(besides my wife liked the "Cute" factor of the Crusier)

Had the deals been equal - I think we would have ended up with the Vibe/Matrix
