I'm in Canada and the latest I've read is that the HRV will be arriving in July.
I've been looking at small SUVs and have driven the Crosstrek, the RVR, the Trax, the Encore, the Juke and just the other day, the CX3. All had pros and cons. Came close to buying a Crosstrek but oil-use issues are a concern. The Juke didn't do much for me. The CX3? Lovely smooth ride and handling, but that side mirror blocks my view to the left. The Trax is another contender. However, I'm somewhat vertically challenged and find it hard to get into. I also have a very small foot (size 5) and it slips off gas pedals of many vehicles. The Mazda pedals scored big points with me.
Also drove the RAV 4, the CR-V, the Equinox, the Forrester and (my favourite of the bigger bunch) the Mazda CX5. I've visited a lot of dealers and had a lot of fun, but really want to try the HR-V. Looks like I'll be making a trip to Syracuse to find one to sit in (if the dealer doesn't mind that I won't be buying there) to see if it is a good fit and worth the wait.
I'm enjoying reading everyone's experiences with the HR-V.
