I've had 509s (on a VW Jetta, however) and agree with this overall assessment. 
Good tires ("all season" for us Californians).  I am considering going to a
stickier tire such as the Bridgestone RE-71 on our new 323iC (to replace
all-seasons it came with).  The 509s are a reasonable choice as well.  Does
anyone have comparisons among these classes of tires?
