Thing is, I'm planning on ordering one. So not sure I can refuse to take it once it's delivered.I too believe a lot more of these cars have the issue than get reported, some people are just not as 'in tune' with their car than others. My wife, for example, would have driven along with it & never noticed or complained. She never hears most of the squeaks & rattles I hear on cars either - guess it's good to be her & sucks to be me.
I HIGHLY recommend you take any GT you plan to buy for a L-O-N-G test drive. The sales clown will complain, but tough shite ! I'd go a minimum of 20 miles over a variety of road surfaces & take the car up to a sustained 70 mph on a smooth road. Pay close attention to how things feel on smooth roads between 45 - 65 mph, that's where most of the vibration issues seem to manifest.
If there is vibration, don't be fooled with them saying they will fix it post sale or it's just the tires etc. Just pick another car or make them fix it BEFORE you sign anything.
Some seem to have developed the issue after a few 1000 miles, but most (like mine) did it right off the delivery truck !
if you order it and it does not come in correct yes you can refuse delivery.Thing is, I'm planning on ordering one. So not sure I can refuse to take it once it's delivered.
You have every right (legal & moral) to walk away (and get your deposit back) if the car is not right when it shows up ! It's not an easy thing to do after ordering, waiting, getting excited etc. But if it's not right you will be saving yourself a butt load of grief & heartache later !!Thing is, I'm planning on ordering one.

My butt has been in that seat for 26,000 miles. I can say with confidence that I'm pretty "in tune" with my car and there is no vibration from the driveline.I too believe a lot more of these cars have the issue than get reported, some people are just not as 'in tune' with their car than others.
They did a poll and it was closer to 40%. If you didn't vote, do your civic duty and change the numbers. 3 out of 8 at the dealer I was at and the FSE said they all do it to some extent...I would do a poll, I'm sure its less than 1%

Pretty much this for me. I was looking for it on my test drive , unfortunately after I bought it I noticed it .Maybe it took some miles to manifest. It's VERY slight though . I do not get a vibration at all , but a rumble noise at 50MPH , only at 50 , goes away from 51-65 , then comes in again 66-70MPH .Didn't think mine had the vibration until I read that thread. So the people that say they don't have it may not be as sensitive to it.
