I've seen a lot of threads in here lately from people belly-aching about the supposed lapse in quality from Honda. Maybe this is just a case of the (very) vocal minority out-representing the silent majority. I for one am very happy with my 2017 EX-T. Is it perfect? No. But it's pretty damn good. No car is perfect and anyone that expects perfection should get over themselves. Our family has owned Ford, Subaru, Toyota, Saturn, and Buick automobiles and I'd easily stack my 2 Honda's up against all of them. A couple of those cars (I'm looking at you Subaru/Ford/Saturn) were absolute trash.
So what are the issues with the CivicX. The paint chips....yes...not perfect. The fabric on the inside of the EX-T is already showing wear...yes...not perfect (I'm in the middle of swapping the fabric pieces out for the leather for this exact reason). The seat vibrates when idling....yes....not perfect.
On the positive side....the car looks amazing, still drives smooth as silk, gets 40MPG during my commute to work, has pep thanks to the turbo, has intuitive controls, android auto integration, etc etc etc etc all for under $25,000. I still think it's an amazing car and would buy one all over again today if I could. The only difference is that I would maybe get the leather. I've given multiple friends rides and they've all been impressed.
To those of you expecting perfection, I'm sorry the car has let you down. If you apply those same lofty ideals to everything in your life you will probably live in constant disappointment. If you truly hate the car, sell it (if you're financially able) and move on.
