Hey guys,

anyone miss the ability to configure a 2017 Mazda 6 GT with a manual transmission? I sure do... And am thinking of just getting one from Canada. Even though it is not perfectly the equivalent to a GT here in the states. But the outside looks are the same. And the Touring/Sport just lack the looks of the GT. But I am open to suggestions...
Anyone ever try this? I'd like to see if this is too much or if this was feasible at all. Any comments? Advice?

I'd do that in a heartbeat if I wanted a Mazda6; years ago I bought a Gen 1 BMW 320i (E21) from a Canadian dealer and the only issue was the warranty which had a different mileage and time limit compared to the U.S. models.

 

Seriously? I contacted a Canada dealer and they "kinda" indicated that unless I'm a Canadian, or have someone in Canada who could buy it for me, I have no choice.
Luckily I DO have someone there who is willing to help. But wanted to do it without having to involve anyone.
I wouldn't care about the warranty too much. These cars are good (even thought you never know).
