A traditional wall-style power outlet helps turn the Toyota Matrix into a roving office.
The Matrix Outlet
Get the right Toyota Matrix and it comes equipped with a familiar-looking 115V wall-style outlet, great for charging phones or cameras or anything else, without oddball attachments. With the front passenger seat folded down, it's flat plastic back becomes miniature desk for use from the back seat—making it easy to charge your laptop on the go, download photos while you're still traveling, and if you're parked outside a place with free WiFi, even upload your photos to Everywhere.

The Matrix becomes a traveling office. We picked this car back when we were making regular drives from Minneapolis to Chicago. On long road trips, I'd type up blog entries (much easier than writing by hand in the car), watch DVDs, manage the iPod, and plan out the day at our destination, all without draining the battery. Essential? Maybe not. But I'd sure hate to be without it.
