08/09 engine failures, VSA modules going kaput, inferior leather on the seats. 02 sensors failing. These are just a few of the issues that the later cars have experienced. I am on good terms with my Honda dealer and you would be surprised with the amount of problems the run out cars are always in with. It's a real shame.

The average man on the street will know nothing of the problems being seen on the later cars.
If you're that worried about residuals you should flog it now as the price isn't going to go up anytime soon.

That is the only saving grace, although my comment was a little tongue in check anyway. But I have no plans to sell. Strangely enough I quite like the car!

I've got a GT100; so far, no sign of any problems, but I bought an extended warranty just in case. I've been in dialogue with Honda and am happy so far with their attitude should anything go wrong.
Ok the leather is wearing but meh, so what? Think it's called patina on older (more expensive) cars.
(That's tongue in cheek by the way)At a guess I'd say the problems brought up on here are brought up about the minority of cars that have had problems? We could have a thread called "I've got an 09 plate and it's running fine"? But that would be pretty boring, wouldn't it?
Perhaps make the comments if you have had an 09 with problems?
And breathe, rant over...
