Nick you are digging yourself a hole sunshine.
Mondeo better than a 520?? Fair argument that often has been done. I am pleased your father is happy with his purchase. If he had bought a 520 then you would be looking down at the Mondeo owner. It is similar to going to a grammar school. Some pathetic people thing comprehensives are awful, but public schools are stuck up. Stinks of arrogance and so do you.
Your posts get worse here on. Why does a BMW driver have a small penis. Surely if this was the case many less endowed men would suddenly switch to a Mondeo, is that what your Dad did.
A Mondeo 2.0 will be similar in performance to a 520i. It's lighter, class below so should give it a good match. Does it make it better....no! Out and out performance is irrelevant. Did you father ask the small penised man whether he had his foot to the floor whilst he was ringing it in his Mondeo. I think not. If your obesssed with performance try nailing both at 50 in 5th. The BMW has torque, its not a sports car, the Mondeo wouldnt move.
The cars do different things. A 2.0 mondeo is a high spec model, the 520 is a low spec model, they kind of overlap ever so slightly. I dont blame people for getting a Mondeo each to their own. But they depreciate much more, are not as built as well, dealers are pants and unlimately have less going for them. but that is merely my opinion.
This whole thread is rubbish. I, own a MINI Cooper S. I beat a 7-Series of the lights the other day. He is such an idiot and therefore must have such an ugly wife
He may not have been bothered about racing such an idiot, whilst he sat in his luxury cabin going about his own business. Indeed why would he see the need to race me. This is how you come across. The cars are different end of.
As an aside if a 520i pulled out and your father nailed it he would muller you. Not because he had a 520, but because he had the momentum. By the time the Mondeo had got up to speed the 520 would be long gone. And vice versa. Therefore what you say is shite and as far as I see it so stupid its unreal!
Anyway glad he enjoyed his time with his Mondeo, but like many Mondeo owners one day he will buy the BMW he, im sure, secretly wants and you will eat your words.
You're so wrong. The BMW my dad almost bought blew up at 110000 miles. Our car is still going strong at 113000. So who's laughing now? And yes, my dad's car outdid a BMW 520i. And it'd do it again. And again. In fact, it's such a better car it's possibly the best all round car I can think of. It's economical, reasonably quick, comfy, reliable, has no stigma attached to it like a BMW (which is sad, but if you're all so image concious as you seem to be, take it into consideration), and is also cheaper. I'd never own a BMW ever. They ruined Rover, and anyone who ruins a British Marque will never have respect from me. *evils towards Smolenski*Mondeo better than a 520??

Any car can blow up at 110,000. All depends on how its been treated. Buy a 520i and a Mondeo, drive them indetically for 110,000 miles and the BMW would be in better shape. Yes this is a sweeping generalisation but no more than yours. Every car is driven differently and problems will occur at different times.
People do not by BMW's because of the so called qudos. The BMW is a class above and people who can afford more buy the better car.
Why oh why does your Dad have a Mondeo 2.0 when he could afford a Lamborghini. At least get the 2.5

Nick, how exactly are 70% of us bellends?
Because 7/10 posts on here reak of people who don't take time to read what I put. Some people are actually nice to me and have my respect. Others, well, let's just hope we don't meet each other, because it'd result in one hell of an arguement.

Ok guys got the full story from my dad. He was accelerating hard away from a junction, and a BMW tried to pull out and over take him whilst my dad was still accelerating. He couldn't get by. Anyhow, the COCK of a BMW driver then rocketed past my dad in a 30 limit later on, and that's when he saw it was a 520i. BMW = Over rated, Mondeo = Might fine car. End of. And I can laugh at BMW drivers, as they probably have small penises, ugly wives, small insecure brains, and are of small, unmanly stature. This is why I can laugh at them. Like I can laugh at 70% of this forum who are bellends.
Umm yeah, that story sounds plausible! In any case it is obvious that this means the Mondy will always beat every 520. Last week my dad whilst driving the Astra overtook an Aston DB9, does that mean the Astra is the quicker car?In any case I used to drive a lowly 316i e36 compact, the least desirable of the range. Reason I got it was because it was RWD, the looks had ages well, it was still solid at around 9yrs old at the time and finally it did have a better image then most of the cars I could have been knocking about in instead. Image was one reason, but so what, I never buy on image alone but who cares if it is a consideration?
Unfortunately I had a crash and for insurance costs, we replaced it with an Astra although considered the Focus at length as well. I have also driven the Focus a few times as well, and whilst both the Focus and the Astra are decent cars they don't compare to the Compact. The handling of the Beemer was far superior and the Astra (and my uncles 2002 Focus) both have more rattles etc then the BM did. As soon as the insurance is reasonable I would love to have another Beemer.
Oh and btw, I like to think my gf is very attractive (no I'm not posting pics), that I do not have a small penis or insecure small brain. Nor did any of this change when I became a Vauxhall driver instead of a BMW driver.
You are a complete twonk!

Oh no sorry I forgot, you're 7. Jog on, cockbag.
None have the 'I'm a rich LITTLE man who is making up for my shortcomings by trying to have a flash car'. Oh no sorry I forgot, you're 7. Jog on, cockbag.
ts still drive them. Like any make and model of car.Nickthebassist said:

I can no way afford a new 5-Series but appreciate the quality of them. Hence I own an old one. Give me a 1994 5-series over a 1994 mondeo any day of the week.

Just because the BMW your dad couldnt afford to buy "blew up" at 110000 miles doesnt mean that they all do. You have obviously not been driving long enough to realise that the life of a car often depends on how its driven. Secondly, what the whole deal with "our ford outdid a 520i" crap? Its not as if the 520i is the epitome of speed.
Thirdly, economical, reasonably quick, comfy and reliable doesnt make it a good car. Not like most modern cars dont fit that bill anyways.
Fourthly, why are you playing the cheaper card? Your dad can afford a 150k lambo so what does a few thousand quid matter?
Lastly, I dont think anybody cares about respect from you. And good for you that you wont ever buy a BMW, its gonna ruin their company as far as I can tell.
btw, Im not the biggest fan of bmw's but your wanton belligerence towards marques you dislike just takes the cake.
eta i seem to be retarded

The chap who enjoyed his 110k miles in a BMW laughing at your dad's nail of a knackered mondeo at a guess. Nickthebassist said:

Wow, get on to the ACO and book him in for Le Mans, I am sure they would love to have present such a feat of automotive perfection, after all if it can beat a mighty 520i then it should take on all comers at LM.Nickthebassist said:

That single statement shows your amazing lack of experience in motoring terms. How many other cars have you experienced to come to this conclusion? I have driven over 5000 cars, once drove 126 different cars in a day and would not class a mondeo as the best all round car. For a true all rounder you need something like an M5, quick, enjoyable to drive, reasonably strong residuals, practical, stylish etc.

It seems that you have the big issue over BMW, not the people who have made the 3 series overtake the mondeo in the sales charts. Maybe that is because of your TVR fanboyism?Nickthebassist said:
and is also cheaper.
And at that point you have found the only issue it appears we agree on.Nickthebassist said:

Out of interest how old are you? Your views towards Smolensky ( or more correctly Николай Смоленский ) come over as a butthurt 13 year old, bawwwwwww, the nasty russian broke my favourite toy.Nickthebassist said:

So we're judging an entire car manufacturers fleet (and its entire driving demographic) from one incident that we don't know the full details of? Except what your dad told you anyway. Ok then, I'd like to use some of your logic. A Mondeo driver once hit my car in a carpark. No BMW driver has ever done that, therefore ALL Mondeo drivers are incompetant tossbags. So suck my logic.Oh, and enough of this "my dad told me {x story}" rubbish. Let's hear some details about the BMW's that you've driven (with particular emphasis on the 520i models) - as well as the Mondeos that you've tested - to come up with your astute judgements...

Having read another of Nicks threads I can't help but feel there is some reverse snobery going on. Wanting a Tiv for the feeling of showing up Fezza and Lambo drivers in a cheaper car is stupid. A tuned Evo could do that but that isn't the main reason people get them.
When I see a Ferrari or Lambo I look in admiration. I like seeing TVR's but there is no where near as much a reaction from me. I would like a Tiv one day when I can afford it, but I am not so blinkered as to not realise that these cars are worlds apart.
