2008 2009 Toyota Matrix review
Protecting your new 2008 2009 Toyota Matrix is easy. Remember every 20 seconds someone steals a vehicle in the US. Don't let one of them get your new Toyota Matrix. Here's how you can cut the chances of being a victim of auto theft:
Have the Toyota dealership install an upgraded alarm preferably one with a kill switch.
If you are buying a new 2008 2009 Toyota, look for one with an electric key system, which also has a built in car alarm and automatic anti-theft system.
Never leave your wallet or anything else in your Matrix that might entice a thief.
When using a valet service, give them only the ignition key. And never use a "hide-a-key."
