Buying a car for comfort - what would you recommend?

I have a five year old, 56,000 mile Lexus IS 250-SE and am looking to change. My key priority is comfort. I have my current vehicle to trade plus £30,000. Should I buy a new one or do I just run my current IS 250 for another three years?

You have one of the most reliable cars on the planet and it has already suffered most of its depreciation. If it's running fine it wouldn't be very honest of me to persuade you to switch.

I am purchasing a new Lexus 300H on standard wheels, which are 235/45/R18. However, I believe that I can have the car on the 225/50/R17 wheels - which would produce the smoothest and quietest ride.
