Is the Lexus NX a good choice?

I've been happy with our Ford C-MAX, which is easy to access and reliable. With maybe £30,000 plus the trade-in on the C-max, which car would you recommend? I do about 8000 miles a year, the bulk of it in short journeys. The Lexus NX looks tempting but is there a better option for an oldie like me as it is probably going to be my last car?

The Lexus NX lacks the showroom appeal of some glitzier rivals but it's a really good choice. It'll suit your journeys and be very reliable – Lexus came top in our latest Satisfaction Index. Take a look at the Volvo XC60, too – like the NX, it's a bit of a left-field choice, but it's very comfortable and has a superb interior.
