Fit and finish puts the 2015 into a different class versus the outgoing model. This was a pre-production car, so I can't report on any squeaks or rattles. Something that happens turns up in production may not appear in a pre-pro... though the car I drove was very quiet in the cabin, both on rough roads and at speed.
Did you get a chance to take it on any bumpy roads? The review covered some good points surrounding suspension performance, but I live in Michigan and our roads are ****. I love a good performing car, but my 2004 STI has shown me that you can't necessarily have track-tight suspension and expect it to not break your back with some of the **** we see here.
