Replying to: blane (Dec 05, 2007 3:11 pm) I was unaware that the 2008 Civic has leather. My apologies. The 2008 Mazda3's are soon to have a power seat as well, something Civic does not have. I don't believe the Civic has stability control or traction control either.   The headlamps are Halogen, less likely to blind an oncoming driver than Xenon   Xenons are also the closest thing to natural light that man can produce. On back roads it makes night driving very easy.   My point was that even in it's 5th year of production, the Mazda3 is a no where near obsolete. Usually models that late into their run are in dire need of a makeover, for example the current Mazda6.

I prefer the 3i. It rides a lot more like the Civic, which is a good compromise to me.

Replying to: thegraduate (Dec 06, 2007 12:28 pm) Yeah, the 3s's have a stiffer ride. Some like it, some don't. Do the 17's really perform better? I don't think it matters too much. I think they look nicer, but, the tires are more money to replace.   I'm surprised it took this long to offer leather in the Civic. Most every car in this class has it now, i think.

Replying to: aviboy97 (Dec 06, 2007 12:30 pm) If you think about though, it really shouldn't be too surprising. Honda didn't even offer leather on the Odyssey van until 2002.   Here in Alabama, I'd never have leather as my first choice since it gets so hot. I do understand others wanting it though. (From what I understand, some of the leather in vehicles like Corolla and Cobalt can feel like little more than glorified vinyl, although I have no first-hand experience to confirm this).

Cobalt, not very nice. The Focus had cheesy leather too.
