| Description of the problem | The front spoiler on the matrix is constantly getting scraped up on driveways. It is too low. The only way to fix the problem is to put a whole new bumper on the car, at my cost. The spoilers are listed as a option, but where i am from it is impossible to find a xr without them installed. The car is less then a year old, and already looks bad. Who would think they would design a car that would constantly get all scraped up. It would be nice if this "option" was truly a option.*ak |
