Love it, love sniff petrol stuff.

According to Top Gear (must be right) the BMW 3 series is un-cool and the Mondeo is super cool.

VWsurfbum

thats because Topgear are sponsered by Ford.

rockmonkeysc

Their reason was that every sales rep in the world drives a 3 series and that the Mondeo is less common and surprisingly good.

The Rookie

The Mondeo is a better drivers car than the base 3-series, that's a fact, but the interior is decidedly low rent by comparison, that's why I went for the best of both worlds which is a BMW M-sport as it is a better drivers car and has a better interior, that despite setting out to NOT a get a BMW but it was inescapable that it was the best car for me (after driving 6 competitors).....and as a 320D it's also now the best car in the world!

As this is the CC I'm sure I know where this will now go!

rockmonkeysc

I have a 2009 Mondeo and it is great to drive and because it's a fairly high spec it has got a lot of toys but the interior build quality isn't quite up to BMW standards, better than my old 2006 VW Passat.
I just couldn't justify paying nearly twice as much for the same age/mileage (3 years/70k miles) 3 series with less gadgets.

But does it have more torque than a 330D?

If not it's sh1t.

rockmonkeysc

Possibly if you have the 2.5 turbo engine.

cooldad

Surfmat must be spinning in his grave.

rockmonkeysc

Surely the Mercedes C350 CDI is much better anyway.

welshkev

Nope the 330D estate is the best car everz

rockmonkeysc

No, the best car ever was the Porsche 911 RSR.

welshkev

Where's surfmatt when you need him?

The Northern Monkey

I'm pretty sure the 335d is the best car in the world.
I mean, the power and the looks are good... but the torque figures are just amazing.

Plus, you have an excuse to be a twat... or is it that twats buy bmw's? I can never remember....

The Rookie

Twats buy Audi's now......

The 320D engine is lighter than the 330D's so the car handles better, torque is nothing without control........

Volkswagen owners are the worst drivers though really.

I always find Honda drivers holding up traffic and causing accidents on the way back to the old peoples home.

My 320D Estate weighs a frickin ton, so the 2.0 feels relatively gutless to me. Would be interested to try a 3.0 or 3.5, as i'm sure my insurer would be.

As long as that only applies to cars, I agree.
