How's your NX build quality?

The pursuit of F
Mine is very good overall, much better than the '13 RX which had noticeable rattles. NX has been one of the tightest cars ever owned, second the the RCF.
Interior:
NX has one of the RX's rattles though which is the rear center armrest. Keeping it in the down position minimizes the noise which is how we keep it. Dashboard is tight with barely a squeak only heard under extreme temp conditions until cabin is brought to more normal temps.
Exterior:
Nicely fit and finished except for the mirrors which creak and feel flimsy.
Suspension and chassis:
I have this occasional tick sound which appears to emanate from the front left door/suspension/firewall area. Neither I nor dealer can pinpoint it despite lots of troubleshooting and a full coilover suspension replacement.

Agreed with corrado about the high quality "tightness" of everything except the mirrors, both inside and out. The outside ones feel like they could break off if I tried to. Apparently they also have wind buffeting, which I haven't noticed yet because I haven't driven it on a highway.
The sunglass case's cover/mirror feels like a very flimsy knick knack. You can never tell if you've set it on.
Mechanically, there's a loud crunching noise from the brakes whenever you initially reverse. Don't know what that's about.

These types of comments concerning fit & finish/build quality are what helped lead me to the NX and away from the Mercedes' GLA & GLC. I lurked here for about a month and a half, and these types of comments brought me to Lexus for my first test drive. So glad I did!
Thanks everybody for your honest non-sugarcoated remarks. My wife & I couldn't be happier.

Lexus mfg tolerances are consistent unlike other mfgs regardless of vehicle factory location. Of course one or two production versions will vary but otherwise majority of vehicles produced adhere to insane standards

When shifting into reverse my Mirrors tilt up instead of down, Dealer couldn't figure it out Car has to go in for a full day to fix the problem.

If you have to store the settings to get them to stick, just press and hold 1, 2, or 3 and "set" on the drivers door for about three seconds and it will beep to indicate you have stored your mirror, seat and steering wheel settings to that particular preset.
