when (and if...) I get my Type R, I might try the Tuxmats. Apparently cover great, but there are some concerns that they interfere with the clutch travel. Will need to investigate further once I know one is coming with my name on it.

Thanks! The rug mats are in the trunk because we bought Husky all weather liners for the car, but we're not impressed. They are thinner and dont hold their shape like weather tech. (gaps on the edges and dirt/sand easily gets through...

I am almost always in the Type R forum, apparently up next to get my allocation. I am from Winnipeg MB CDA, and we are only getting 500 or so for the entire 3 year run. Why I'm in the review section is that my daughter and I started a YouTube channel late last year. Its called Cool Car Crap Car...

Salesperson at a dealer in Winnipeg told me that they delivered one this month, and I'm supposed to be next but their guess on when the next one will come, is Fall. Maybe I'll try to find a deal on late model mx5 to tide me over and sell it next spring. I've been without a fun car for over 4...

Isn't that the dealer that will only sell locally? I might have it mixed up with another in BC.

Apparently our Acura dealer in Wpg. (only one) only is getting 2 ITS a year for 3 yrs. The other cars are still great, but not as unique as the type R. I think I"d get a used mx-5 with the brembo/ recaro seat option, and save a bunch of money and still have fun. I also was looking at a used...

Yes, apparently one of biggest in Western canada. They were bragging about that when I was talking deposits back when it was announced.

Good idea. The one I have here is an MSRP + $800 extras that they apparently put on all cars like block heater, mats, tire insurance.

So had my 3 month drop-in-day at my dealer in Winnipeg. I cant get a reply from anyone there with emails.... They were promised 9 over 3 years but have only delivered one white one last Spring. They now have their doubts about 9. I'm the 4th on the original list (thought I was 3rd but they had...

It's in town in Manitoba. Although it seems like a lot of these dealers are playing games. It seems like financing is harder to get these days, so perhaps I'll get a call next week saying the other guy had to walk away. You never know.

It seems like whatever salesperson could flush out of a customer, was who was getting the car. It's a really tiny dealership, who hadn't even expected to get an R, so thats a weird one. I did not have a deposit with them, had just expressed interest when I had facilitated them selling a civic...

So looks like the dealer was more like, shopping the car around and a co worker had a guy who wanted financing, all the protection packages and extra parts and accessories. Looks like they’ll make a lot of $ on the car from That guy. However financing often falls through. We will see. I’m...

Thanks for the insight. I was worried that driving with it in a cold trailer, then driving it out into my garage might be enough to hurt the tires. With regards to your link; are you suggesting a) getting the roll around wheel dollys or the cover or both? I have a generic cover but I also a...

So if I get my Type R in Dec, as rumoured. I am actually nervous because it will be cold and even with trailering it to my house, the tires will be very cold. So there is my first dilemma. SEcond dilemma. If I get it into my garage, which can get about -10c in the winter as coldest. the...

I will see if I can trade out for window tint, ceramic paint protection, and some PPF on front parts and wear areas. Don’t want rust proofing and under coating . Not driving it winter. Speaking of winter. I have a spot in my heated garage, probably goes to -10c in January. Can I leave the...

Got an email from sales rep saying they're getting a Type R in Dec. Must have been some on that boat in Vancouver early Nov. I have a deposit at another dealer and one person ahead of me, only $800 tire wheel protection package, where this other dealer (bought another car from them before)...

Update: So I had to actually go to the dealership to talk to the General Sales manager ( no email or voice email return calls from him ) of the Winnipeg dealership where I have a deposit. So I asked some tough questions and he basically told me that they were promised 9 in the beginning but is a...

Interesting. Wpg dealer was supposed to get 3 a year, and only has received one so far. I also wonder if any suspension tuning might be in the works for MY24 or later, based on the only criticism that seems to be out there regarding it being a bit too stiff... or maybe an upgraded exhaust or a...

Update from Winnipeg. So the largest Honda dealer in province was told 9 vehicles over 3 years. They only received their first one about a month ago though 3 incoming was on their computer. There was at least one, maybe 2 delivered to different dealers last fall. Maybe dock strike affecting...

I just asked them to call me when they arrived. They didnt have any other info other than they were on route from Vancouver. (told to me Saturday) EDIT: And apparently all 3 are white. Of all teh 9 they're supposed to get , 8 people ordered white and one red. I"m hoping some other colour shows...
