Hi All,

I had my first test drive today. Car was Hi-power velocity red with red/black leather and satnav. You don't need me to tell you how good its was! So my mind is made up and options just depend on the trade-in value of my A2 1.6 FSi Sport and delivery time. Definately Hi-Power, almost certainly Titanium grey (though the red and Winning blue are tempting), possibly with satnav and/or sunroof.

The dealer (Leamington Spa) has previously told me that delivery is March/April if its a factory order but possibly as soon as December if they manage to source a car from stock.

So my question is this: What options will definately cause a delay in delivery time?. I'm guessing (from what members of this forum have had delivered to date) that red, black, silver and grey, leather and satnav are not a problem. Other colours and sunroofs will be later - but how much?

Apologies if this has already been answered, but after todays test drive I am more than a little eager - I know that those of you who have been waiting 11months+ will understand!

Late breaker.

 

Hmmm. Not sure at all where this Nugs moniker came from??!! I've always posted as Late Breaker before. It could be me, but I suspect IT gremlins...

late Breaker.

 

We appear to be seeing a few gremlins with usernames at the moment. PLease let me know if anyone else has this happen to them. Try clearing out your cookies and log back in.

 

Winning Blue with leather was available to me ex the increased allocation, ordered last Tuesday, expected in UK docks 5th. December. After PDI etc, gift wrapping and with a bow on top will be in my stocking for Christmas. Please!!!!!!!

 

Just why did we pre-order hwne people (no offence to you Harrizone) can order and get in 4 weeks????

Mazda you are p*ssing me off.

 

So is the consenus that specifying a sunroof will mean a lengthy delay?

BTW, my moniker on this forum has been Bulkhead (not Late Breaker). My mistake - so many forums (or is that forii), so little time. Anyway, deleting the cookies has sorted it out

 

It seems that the direction the wind was blowing on the day you ordered, the colour of your eyes or your shoe size possibly constitutes a delay in Mazdas wonderful ordering system.

Ignore me, I'm just cheesed off at the lack of info from my dealer, and I only ordered in September, so I really have no right to be!

 

Ordered APRIL and still no news. Patience is a virtue I don't seem to have!

 

I'm not sure if any of the cars picked up yet have sunroofs, but I am picking up my black hi power on Wednesday and I ordered leather and sunroof.

Of course, it wouldn't be a total surprise to get there Weds pm and find it doesn't have the sunroof...

 

Dont think so Mike - maybe its the roofs thats slowing them down?

 

I've ordered my Titanium Grey with a sunroof - estimated date of 5th Dec - but was told it was sourced from the extra 200 stock that Mazda were importing this year. Guess it depends on what config / colour and what they guessed people would want.

 

Now looks like my Titanium Grey, leather with sunroof, will be arriving at the dealers on the 16th of November, :D

 

Good News Carl, hopefully you'll have it for the 20th
