Name: Mike
1. Replaced windshield cowl (peeling).
2. Replaced driver's side wiper arm (chipped down to bare metal).
3. My seats are wearing and discoloring.
4. My arm rests are discoloring to white and showing wear.
5. My driver's seat and center console squeak like an old rocking chair.
6. Re insulated sunroof due to rattle.
7. Insulated C pillar on driver's and passenger side due to squeaking.
8. Replaced steering wheel plastic trim (coming apart and creaking).
9. New Subwoofer installed OEM.
10. Rear deck insulated due to unfindable rattle.
11. MTF changed twice.
12. Third gear replicated due to popping out, grinding, and refusal to engage.
13. Front bumper touched up due to paint missing from factory.
14. Insulated driver's side seatbelt area do to rattles and squeaking.
15. "Fixed" front driver's side squeaking rattle near vent.
16. Door panels are flexing and creaking and not staying on well anymore.
17. Steering wheel "clicks" every time it makes a full rotation.
18. Wiper arm tightened as it almost fell off.
19. Plastic door trim near window switch and "coin holder" separating.
Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. I'll look at my actual list that I compiled (sad that you need to make a list to know all that's wrong with your new car, hey?) and see what I missed.

You look at my car from the outside and you say "God damn what a beautiful machine". It truly is. Then you sit inside and listen and you're underwhelmed due to the rattle box, squeaking, and discoloring fabrics. It's awful.

I'd rep the OP if I could. Good thread. Now let's wait for the obligatory Hondaphile to come in and tell us we're all wrong or too picky.
