Replying to: aviboy97 (Dec 06, 2007 12:23 pm) I've got nothing against the 3, but its road noise is pretty horrendous on the interstate with the uplevel wheels; you feel every piece of the road in your butt, too.   I have two friends with these cars; one has a 3S and I don't like riding in it. 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.
