Default What Should I Know?

I'm looking to buy a 2018 Sport, manual transmission. Is there anything I should be aware of w these?

I checked Consumer Reports; they give only an average reliability rating, saying the car's electronics fail amazingly frequently. Is that serious?
They also report "body integrity" issues. Have people seen that?

They definitely do have common electronic failures. I'm working on a friends car now with the center console/radio issue. Looked up some forums and a lot of people having different issues with the center console area. Now comparing that to the many people who purchased the year model and options it's few

Sean,
Is this an easy repair, or hard enough that I might want to reconsider my purchase?

Honda can't figure it out. They just want to replace parts right now. I'm just diagnosing the electrical parts. It's hard because it doesn't just die.

Sean,
I hear you. Dealerships want to replace parts, hoping that works, rather than figuring out the real problem.
