We had a Mazda 6 (MY2006 GG1032) and I agree about the noise levels. The handling was better than the Kizashi - until you hit any bumps or rough patches and discovered the shock absorbers weren't set up too well. I've just added the upgraded rear sway bar and the handling is now at least match for the 6 but it still retains the Kizashi noise/ comfort levels. :)

All I need now is some decent tyres!

I've discovered some places selling Michelin Pilot Sport 2, Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric and Pirelli PZero Assymetric locally in 235/50R17 - but of course they're not cheap!

PZero Assimetricos in 235/50R17 won - due to availability and price. I'll post up my thoughts once they're on.

When the time comes to replace the tyres, I definitely wont go with the Yokohama's.
Have you replaced the tyres? How do the new compare? Interested in your opinion.
