Have mine on order...no FWD in the Northeast at all. I live in New York and checked the Tri state area for a FWD car and came up with zip. I had to special order one. I think all the FWD cars are being shipped to the south, midwest and westcoast. There might be some coming in now but as of a couple of weeks ago there wasn't a thing available. I was told that Mazda was really pushing the AWD and it makes sense especially in the Northeast where winter is coming.
Very much appreciate the advice Banana....did exactly what you suggested but no luck. The two dealers closest to me won't even respond to emails regarding a FWD GT! As suggested earlier in the posts I think Mazda wants to capitalize on the bad winters we have in the NJ/PA area and sell as many as possible AWD versions.....and not hurt mazda 3 hatchback sales too.
I even asked both dealers if they would special order it.....not even a response. The one dealer has 31 CX-3's in stock right now. I'm going to try closer to Christmas and hope that Mazda starts shipping some to the Northeast States. In the meantime let us know how you like your FWD version! What type of MPG's you averaging?
And a thank you for member who welcomed me to Forum too!
If you are near the Jersey area I just special ordered mine from Ramsey Mazda. It's gonna take at least 3 months though to get to you. I placed mine in Sept and the guy said I might get it by Christmas. We'll see. Plus he gave me a good deal.
Also Garden City Mazda said they could special order one too for me. They are located in Long Island New York. I only went with Ramsey cause he offered me deal right away. Hope this helps.
1138 I'm going to take your info and see if I can special order from Maple Shade Mazda in South Jersey (where I live). Can you share if Ramsey took anything off of MSRP? Dealers I'm dealing with here are not dealing at all yet....maybe soon since the inventories are growing. Appreciate all your help!
Oh and too the member who said there's 625 FWD CX-3's....I'm sure you're correct nationally but the Grand Touring FWD's are no where to be found here in the NorthEast.
DJ I agree that there are hundreds of FWD CX-3's but to clarify if you want a Grand Touring version with FWD that's where, dependent on geography, you're screwed. Dealers north of VA have none. January is the company line that all of them are saying is when Mazda will begin shipping FWD versions to these areas.
I'll second that! Have mine on order and probably won't get mine till January...December if I'm lucky. I live in New York BTW and nothing in the Tri-State area!
