Tires make more difference than anything. I too bought at used Mazda 3, and thought: "Oooh, this is dodgy in the rain . . ."
Then I got better tires (summers and winters) and realized: "Ohhh, I just had terrible tires."
Pros: better tires, improved handling
Cons: terrible tires, dodgy handling

I recently replaced mine with Rain X wipers and I'm in love with them. It's been raining a lot here in California, but I can see perfectly!
Pros: perfect visibility, love them

I went with the G-Force Comp-2 A/S and paid something like $703 after installation, which also included a road hazard warranty. I found a really good deal and could have gotten some alternatives even cheaper, but the tire was the highest ranked in its category on TireRack. No regrets with the purchase, as these tires significantly outperform the Continental OEMs.
Pros: significantly outperform Continental OEMs

At 100,000km I did Koni STR.T shocks, Eibach springs and a Progress rear sway bar. It's a riot to drive with decent tires now however I'm not overly impressed with the Konis, they don't have the best small-bump feel but the car feels ridiculously planted 100% of the time and stays flat through corners.
Pros: car feels ridiculously planted
Cons: not the best small-bump

Mileage: 100000 km
I have been using Bosch. mine quickly leave streaks.
Cons: quickly leave streaks

Falken Ziex 512s ( I don't think they are available anymore) are the most trash tires I've had. Terrible grip, terrible life.
Cons: terrible grip, terrible life
