Talking NX200T F Sport 2 first 2 days of ownership

Picked up a Nebula Grey NX ( F Sport 2 ) on Saturday. Here are my observations so far.

I am in Toronto, ON Canada.

1. The 2017 NX comes with mud flaps
2. On Saturday as the day warmed up the top center cover under the navi screen creaked. On Sunday, even though the day was hot it did not creak. I will ask the dealer to fix this.
3. I drove around 300km over the weekend. The NX is quicker than my 2010 CRV. It's also pretty quiet, and several times I didn't realize I was going pretty fast ( 140 - 150 kph )
4. My NX comes with Michelin Primacy tires, I could hear the tires but I didn't think it was overly loud.
5. I didn't get the dreaded sub woofer rattle.
6. The NX's navigation has inferior lane guidance compared to my 2010 CRV's factory navigation.
7. The touchpad is annoying, but I'm getting used to it.
8. The seats are comfier than my CRV.
9. I felt that the ride was firm but not harsh. I liked that I can sort of feel the road surface the NX was going through.

Questions:

I know you can ask the dealer to program the key fob to roll down the windows and slide open the sunroof. But can the key fob do the opposite? Say you get out of your car and notice one of your windows isn't closed, can the key fob close all windows + the sunroof?

How do I access the Lexus Enform apps? I downloaded the the Lexus Enform app but it doesn't appear in the infotainment screen.

Overall:

I'm happy with my choice. This is my first luxury vehicle and I'm really digging the red interior, the fuel economy ( compared to a 3.x V6 ) and ride / handling of the NX.

You can ask the dealership for the California setting to open all the windows with 1 touch but i dont think you can do the opposite way. Lexus Enform App does not work in Canada yet for the NX although you can download it to your phone.

My F Sport also doesn't have the engine sound ****. There's a rectangular piece of plastic covering where the **** should be.

Mine does have the engine sound(No engine sound **** though). I can tell when I switch from normal to sport and sport+. I like the sound. I know it's digital fake sound but it adds more fun to driving.

Are you sure about that? I didn't think it was available at all in Canada.

Yeah come to think of it the engine sound was pretty muted even when I floored it.
