Tiring talk [marscat] by autonomous

Driving in a city full of potholes, I regret having my low profile touring tires.
 
I was thinking of this as I walked by a stunning VW Golf GT with what looked like 40's. The car may be superb and the tires may provide great control but, oh, the pain when hitting one of those cracks/crevices/canyons in the road after the ravages of winter. The nature of our roads is a limitation on automobile design/set-up; sports (or, sporty) cars need great roads (or, better still, race tracks).

Does anyone knows where I could find ALL of the engine compartment/bay hoses diameter for my 04 MZ3 H/B, 2/3L automatic (i.e. radiator, fuel lines, vacum, etc.) ?
Will like to replace them all with aftermarket ones.
 
Thanks!

I had a Rabbit - and while I'm sure the times have changed since then, it was enough to make me not even consider another VeeDub. I drove my friend's Passat (after spending 15 minutes figuring out where all the controls are) and really liked it - it's too bad he doesn't get to drive it more often due to all the shop time it requires.
 
But just out of curiosity, in what areas does CR claim the Rabbit is better?

The Volkswagen Rabbit got top marks from the notoriously picky Consumer Reports, which praised the hatchback's "agile handling" and "versatile, well-finished interior."
Here's the link to the article in Edmunds: http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=126106

My 56 cm bike fits easily without taking off the front wheel.
Takes out the cargo cover and fold down the seats.
Put the bike in back wheel 1st.
Turn the handle bars so the front wheel is vertical and there you have it.

Key lock on manual transmission by peddler3

I'm in the market for a new car and I've been looking at the Mazda 3 hatch, manual trans. What's up with the key removal button? That is really irritating. Is there anyway around this thing? I hope the 2010 doesnt have it.
 
Also, is there any aftermarket replacement for the cargo cover that is smaller than the stock and easier to stow away than the big plastic monster that comes stock?
 
Thanks

Where can I get a black rubber or plastic dead pedal? I 'll have a hole in the cheap carpeting soon.

The Mazdaspeed3 has a stainless one but it would cost about $130 for all the parts to install it in your Mazda3.

Has anyone tried one of the fuel savers chip with an positive results? Also, how can it be determined if my '08 hatch has traction/stability control? I've misplaced the window sticker.
