Bought mine in April, but
Bought mine in April, but didn't receive it until mid-August. The problem was I wanted that manual transmission. I also hear people are having long waits for some of the colors. Some of that is the great demand, and some of that is the problems in the new plant.
But the car itself is incredible. Put a stick with that i-VTEC and you can do about anything you want with that car. Rev it up and get the power or keep it under 2000 rpms and kill the EPA numbers. In the summer I was averaging about 40 mpg, cold weather has brought me down closer to the advertised numbers. I suspect over the course of a year I'll average somewhere in the 37 mpg range overall, but that takes knowing the engine and knowing how to drive a stick. My one complaint is they did not really add a 6th gear, they added a 4 1/2. A real 6th gear like in the CVT would have put highway miles way up into the 40's. The only possible reason I can conceive for not putting a legitimate 6th into a stick is blowing up the cruise control on a steep freeway hill.
But beyond that the car itself is incredible. If I get tired of it, I merely change the configuration and have a completely different car. Seats down, seats up, some down some up, there must be about 30 different ways to configure it, to haul anything you can imagine. And I've actually gotten one of those lift chair recliners in the back end of it. Best bang for the buck on the market and I expect it'll have traditional Honda reliability.
