I purchased a 2015 EX. AWD 3
I purchased a 2015 EX. AWD 3 months and 4500 miles ago. I just checked my seats and actually both seats are somewhat unfinished on the sides nearest the console as others have noted. Sure didn't notice it before. I do like the 2015 CRV's quietness and handling but still haven't seen anything close to the advertised mileages of 29 and 33 highway for the AWD. We did a 1800 mile interstate hwy trip from Dallas to Denver with numerous highway only fillups and never did even see 30 mpg. 29.5 was the best we've seen on this vehicle and around 26 most of the time around town. The ECON button doesn't seem to have any effect on mileage in my opinion. I specifically waited for the 2015 for the Variable trans and even test drove one before purchase. That being said I'm actually not that fond of the Variable trans as it hesitates a lot when you are doing stop and go turns in a subdivision or parking lot. I'm getting use to it, however I don't deem it a plus over their 2014 trans in my book. Overall I'm happy with the vehicle and will probably hold on to it for the next 17 yrs like our previous 98 Honda Accord.
