New to Honda... 4 Mazda's behind me (Precidia, 3Gt, 6 and CX-5)

I've signed for a manual Hatchback Sport (Canadian model) in Quebec, almost 2 weeks ago and all they can find for me is a white model... My favorite colors are in order: 1-Blue Aegan, 2-Rally Red, and maybe... Polished metal.

They say that blue ones will not be available before July and no manual Sport Rally Red have been delivered in my province until now...

Dang! This waiting is killing me!

Hello Speed17! All my Mazda's delivered flawlessly on the reliability and fun to drive side so far, even the dreaded Mazda3 (rusty first gen.). I hope that this new turbo fully loaded with electronic will match the Honda legendary reliability.

This Spring I was on the market for a VW Golf Sportswagen Comfortline, but the 5 speed manual (even if nice reviewed) and the rush of every TDI customers waiting in line to change their cars turned me off. Now I'm also sitting and waiting for my Honda Hatch to arrive, even if the model is available since last november.

I may fall in love with the Polished grey metal if they can get me one soon... but not the white one. My actual CX-5 is white, and even if it's still looking good, I want something else! :)

I waited three months for my local Honda dealer to get my car. After three months, I gave up and found one online, a thousand miles away. Bought it on the phone and got an airline ticket to go pick it up

It's getting harder and harder to get a good manual transmission choice in North America

I could get the color I want tomorrow if I choose the CVT, but no way! I'm 50-year old and I never rided an automatic except my parents car. Hell! Even my girlfriend own a manual hatch!! :)

Harder yes, but not impossible yet. I do not do CVT's. Period! But if the day comes there is no manual trans new car B.B.

There was a blue 6 speed Sport hatch in North Bay a couple weeks ago. Might still be there if you want to go for a bit of a drive. Can't remember if it was the touring though.

I don't know how it work in Ontario, but here, for insurance reasons, only the dealer can go and get the car to destination when the deal is signed... by driving it (too far, I'm buying a new car, dammit!!) or by putting it on a truck (Cost too much for them... they would rather absorb the devaluation of my exchange Mazda and keep me waiting for a couple of month than pay for that kind of transfer from an other province)

My third and last choice would be the Polish Metal one. They are searching for it now. I would rather wait 2-3 months then having a black or white one (no offense mean to any owner here).

CVT is not an option I can assure you. :)
