    BMW 3 series’ are fine if you don’t value your spine and hearing. They are the noisiest cars I’ve ever driven in terms of wind noise at motorway speeds and road noise (fair enough that could be down to run flat tyres) and the the suspension is intolerably firm

    Firm – yes.

    Noisier than a Mondeo – don’t be silly

    Nice looking Passat (albeit a saloon) in the classifieds for half your budget at the moment…

    From my recent experience, a Mondeo is 95% the car that a 3 series is. Assuming similar power of course. Having said that, a 320d (with the 180BHP engine) is verging on ‘proper’ fast and, with normal tyres, is a lovely firm ride. Quietness? I’d say the Mondeo is ever so slightly quieter. If you want room, it’s no contest of course. Audi A4 and C Class don’t come close for driving enjoyment. The A4 really is hugely overrated, IMHO. The quality of a C-Class isn’t as good as a Ford, by the way.
