Let me start by saying I've owned several new cars that were brand new model introductions or major revamps to include:
Ford Sport Trac- rough ride but no issues.
Inifiniti G35- great car right out of the chute.
BMW 545- stellar performance but hi $ maintenance out of warranty
Acura MDX- top notch on everything
I really do love my first Honda, the CT...the ride, the utility and looks, all of it. That said, I've never owned a car that had so many 'issues' from the get go. All the problems forum members have pointed out so far and what I've encountered in my ride:
1) Door Handle sticking = yup...driver's door often fails to open on the first pull. WTH? Kind of embarrasing when a passenger sees you struggling with the door of your brand new ride.
2) Spoiler rub marks = yup...thank goodness I got black, a Sharpie has me covered for now...we'll see.
3) Glove box sag = not yet but a slight tug on the shows that it won't take much more weight to get there.
4) Axle/rear end noise = not on mine but others have mentioned it.
5) Engine Leak = not on mine, could be an isolated incident but has been mentioned.
I think I've covered all forum issues so far...nevermind the technical misses like no power gate, blind spots or temp gauge as I knew that going in. Honda/Acura's reputation for worry free cars made the Corsstour a no brainer but for the first time I'm thinking I might've been better off waiting for the 2011 Crosstour with all the bugs worked out...am I the only one thinking this? OK rant over...
