Replying to: shipo (Nov 25, 2008 10:23 am) Of late, I've become a fan of Bridgestone tires, especially considering how well they perform in wet situations (I've only driven them in one marginally wintry mix, less than an inch of snow on the ground). I have the Potenza G009 tires on my old Accord and they are wearing very well; no complaints on the wear of my Michelin tires on my 06 Accord either, although I won't replace them with the same tire most likely. I want something a little more comfortable and quiet than these hard-compoud, low-rolling resistance ones. I've drug us off topic I'm afraid... I'm sorry! If you haven't seen photos of the 2010 Mazda 3 hatchback, they're now available. Check em out. I'm not sure since I haven't seen it in person yet, but it seems a little cartoony. The current model doesn't look dated to me, and I much prefer it based on the limited amount of photos I've seen.

Replying to: thegraduate (Nov 25, 2008 10:27 am) I have to agree, the 2010 model looks like the ugly offspring of a Mitsubishi Galant and a Cadillac CTS. Urrg, no thanks, I much prefer the graceful lines of the current Mazda3.  Best regards, Shipo |

  Note the sculpted sides as it approaches the rear-doors, the swoopy new rear- bumper, as well as the front-fender design.

This is what our '05 3s feels like now compared to my '06 Civic LX, which is a quieter car. So everyone has a different opinion of these cars...We still like them both and I must admit the 3s is a looker with the 16" alloys. Mechanically it's been pretty reliable with 53k on the clock and guess we'll be keeping it another couple of years at this point. We just spent over $15k for very nice Hyundai Accent for my middle girl and will probably be getting her older sister an Elantra before the holidays if they raise the rebate. So it looks like the wife and I will be out of the new car buying game for a couple of years...I'm all tapped out  . The Sandman
