Hello everyone,
I have been reading all of the information here and finally decided to join.
I live in North Idaho where all of the new HR-V's are only available as All Wheel Drive. I personally do not feel the need for this option after having driven 2wd cars (all Hondas btw) in this region for over 30 years. When I began my planned purchase of a 2 wheel drive HR-V, I was met with a lot of resistance from the dealer in my area. There are no 2WD models anywhere north of the Bay area of California (see cars.com, a great search resource).
Last weekend I finally test drove an EX model and it affirmed my thoughts that this is the next car for me. Since I am unable to find the elusive 2WD unless I fly down to San Jose CA (the closest one to me), I bit the bullet & went ahead & placed a factory order with the dealer for the car I want.
This is a new thread to encourage people who don't need AWD but feel like they don't have the 2WD choice available to them to consider going with the "special order" option. I am told it will take "up to 110 days" for my car of choice to come in. I am fine waiting and look forward to a fresh off the line car that fits my needs perfectly.
