Car nerd

Merc stands on the top of customer service. Driving pleasure is too good makes u feel important and provides luxury. Performance is good, sunblinds could be electric for the rearview passenger. GLC is a low-maintenance car. But yes, the rear passenger may feel a little cramped on long routes.

Is Lexus NX worth buying?

The car is overall very good to drive and offers good comfort and power. The maintenance cost is also very reasonable and affordable. The only thing which could be improved is the overall looks, the car looks very 'blocky' and not very sleek and stylish. The shape of the car makes it look less eye-catching. Nonetheless, the car is a good family car with good comfort and performance.
