I think the hood is like that because of regulations. Newer cars are supposed to have softer hoods in case you hit a pedestrian the soft metals in the hood are supposed to lessen the injury. But yes, I had a few quality annoyances from the SiHonestly, the built outside of Japan thing rings true. My previous Hondas were a CRX, Civic and Integra. All Japan built. All terrific.
My current Canadian built car has some real inconsistencies. I can literally fit my fingers in the rear decklid panel gap. A hood that makes popping sounds when I wax it. And paint quality that doesn't compare to my Hyundai products. The engineering is very good. The build quality, not so much.
Panel gaps in the hood, fender and door areas
Rattles in the A pillar(s) that would come and go as they please
Paint quality not that great
Suspension sometimes a bit overly noisy
Lack of dampening materials to keep road noise out
Infotainment system that was a bit laggy, and kept disconnecting from my phone
