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.

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).

I can't say I's disagree with you there, however, I have not seen the leather in the Corolla. Cobalt, not very nice. The Focus had cheesy leather too.

Mazda 3 or mazda 6
 
GENERAL IDEA
Civic compete with Mazda 3
Accord compete with Mazda 6
 
Accord have rough shifting and
transmitions can be unreliable
