Replying to: franbo (Feb 15, 2007 3:52 pm) All the Honda vehicles I have owned were well suited to my height, although my last Accord (EX, so it had the sunroof) was a little tight on headroom unless I left the sunshade open. I prefer to sit with my back more upright than most drivers I know and that doesn't help matters. Anyway, my '06 Mazda3 5-door has plenty of headroom although I specifically chose one WITHOUT the sunroof. I am unsure how much headroom you lose with that option. I'd suggest at least sitting in one with a sunroof if you are interested in that feature. If you aren't, the car is a great size for us taller guys. Another great feature for the taller guys is the adjustable steering column that both tilts and telescopes. It allows you to position it perfectly in relation to the seatback angle and to accomodate your arm length. I love the feature. Also, the seat has a height adjustment but I just leave it at its lowest setting. Good luck. |

Anyone have any experience with the new system (skid/traction control) on 2007 models? I'm thinking about buying a 3, but if I want DSC/TSC, then it's going to have to be a 2007 model.

Replying to: chiefjojo (Mar 13, 2007 9:36 am) It comes on a lot in the snow. The tires on this car are absolutely worthless in the snow. Even feathering the clutch to let the car idle to start out it will still often spin. Without the DSC, I can only imagine how bad it would be. The el-cheapo walmart tires I had on my old Cavi tore through snow like nothing. I don't know what's up with these tires mazda uses. If you live in an area that gets decent snowfall in the winter, the DSC will help a little, but you really need better tires, preferably snow tires. I have also had the DSC kick in on dry pavement during spirited driving. Going around some right angle turns at a fairly rapid speed, it kicked in to keep the car from sliding, which is good from a safety stand point for accidental slippage, but I was anticipating the loss, at least it can be turned off. |

Replying to: moparbad (Apr 18, 2007 9:16 am)  Right about that. I bought myself a sweet Garmin street pilot for $299.99 with lifetime upgrades on software and firm ware. I can take this from car to car.
