A good number of glitches have already been addressed production wise. LX shouldn't have any significant changes, and because it doesn't have the Display Audio, is likely to have the least issues electronically. EX and above, I'd say wait; LX, go for it. :thumbsup: Enjoy the discount

Keep in mind that both the factory and dealer are not idiots, and they will adjust their production/inventory to any MY changes.

So while it is true that there will be significant discounts on MY16 cars to get them out before the MY17s roll in, there will be fewer of them. So you may end up not being able to find a car at all because you wanted to eke out that last $500 discount.

As far as issues go, I'd say you're good to go.

Picked up a 16 few weeks ago. No problems so far. Look for a later build if you can.

I'm hoping for an improved windshield in the '17, but guessing that's not too realistic. I haven't heard anything about it yet. Concerned with all of the reports of the windshields being thin and cracking easily from pebbles.

LX owner here, purchased late June. I believe the build was the same month. No issues at all.

No future (possible) turbo issues to deal with and no infotainment screen nonsense.

Just pure Honda engineering that works.
