Big price range - time to test drive some options?
The price range is about what I would expect. It it $5750, which is only $50 more thaan the price range of the CR-V (with same transmission and drive type).Prices definitely look steep! 24k for a HRV does seem pricey. However, if your looking into the Renegade the price can increase above 30k depending on what upgrades and model you choose. Personally, if I'm going to pay over 24k I would go for the Renegade Diesel!
I am happy with the price range provided the options I want are available. Years ago, I kept a car three years or so, but that has changed to ten years for my current vehicle, which is a commitment. This is the first crossover option announced that hints of offering a manual transmission across trim levels. I am willing to pay a bit for that, considering how long I plan to own the vehicle.
I wish other manufacturers would get the hint. Not all of us manual drivers are bottom-feeders, we just prefer involved driving.
I would like an HR-V Si, like the Civic. Complete with 200HP, manual only.Maybe the option should be manuals could come in a more expensive sport level , packaged with other desirable options and special distinctive trim?
Anyway, I am glad Honda took the risk. I really want a manual myself. I wouldn't put off purchasing to the second year for that reason.
I think that would be an excellent solution to keep the manual option available into the future.I would like an HR-V Si, like the Civic. Complete with 200HP, manual only.
Exactly! Early on, I was actually thinking the CX-3 would fulfill my need for a more highly-optioned CUV as opposed to the stripped CX-5. The fact that Mazda did not offer it is telling of their direction. My guess is that the CX-5 MT-6 will get chopped at the next major revision.I think that would be an excellent solution to keep the manual option available into the future.
I think the CX-3 really missed the boat not offering a manual. I believe it will be the sportier of the two, but it loses cred with only a CVT.

If you move to Japan, you can purchase one with a manual! Yeah, would be nice if they offered that transmission here...Mazda is one of the last brands we could have depended on for a manual, too bad they gave up on us with the CX-3! Unless they might have plans for it with the 2nd year model version. It's still early in the process anyways.
