I see many imperfection under the rear spoiler in the trunk area probable a manufacturer problem.

Seat squeak appears to be the most widespread problem. Relatively minor but doesn’t create the best image of the car when ‘guests’ are given a ride.

Some very slight rattles but the temps in my area are 40ish degrees so I'm willing to give it a pass considering the suspension is pretty stiff.

Thankfully no seat squeak yet for me and I'm at almost 1000 miles and my car was part of the second wave.

i have had a buzzing in my dash from the center around 4-5k rpm...it's not horrible, but i can't really think of anything that has really stood out yet as being an imperfection, i'm sure something will

No garage door opener buttons on the rear view mirror. Minor inconvenience but still.
Honda has scaled that back sadly. Models that once came with it... Like a CR-V EX-L, no longer do.

I guess with smart homes at this point it is easy to get around but still.

Oh, I thought it had the Homelink stuff? I don't need it but figured it was part & parcel. Guess it's with the heated front seats!

Heated seats and steering wheel would have been nice. Probably saving that for the type S though

Minors but could be better re: battery placement, window water channels, no spare tire, annoying fake engine sounds, limited color choices, no rear seat delete option, sissy horn, random dash rattles, different colored front and rear seats, lack of rear USB ports and air vents, glass light tint too light, thin paint (but better than past), oil filter placement, front seat rails, often vague owners manual, overly complex cruise control, nonlocking glove box and center console, small rear seat cup holders, lack of third person rear seating, & weak exhaust note
