Like so many, I am eagerly waiting for the HR-V. I have owned two Mazda's, the last one is 18 years old and won't last another winter. I am the main driver of my sister's Fit. The HR-V is my dream come true - a Fit with AWD, a bit bigger, quieter and as reliable.
In case the HR-V is delayed I might be forced into alternatives. All have shortcomings (for me). The Juke is too weird. The Impreza's seat are far too low for old bones. The Crosstrek roof requires bending the head excessively. The Tucson and Sportage have seats and stills too high. The X1 is the right height but I don't want run-flats and no spare.
The Tiguan, Q3 or GLA might be my next choice, but I am concerned about their reliability. The CR-V, CX-5 and Forester are too long, I live downtown and parallel park all the time.
So it is back to the HR-V. I am following the Fit forum and I am delighted that the first owners of the 2015 Fit are quite satisfied. May be the Celaya plant can produce quality cars despite being so new.
