If true that's rather sad, £50k is a very decent salary outside London and to still be stuck with a Mondeo would be a bit depressing!

I'd rather top myself.

Yes it's bigger, but apparently, a whole lot less better. A logarithmic scale (don't ask) could not capture the difference between the two.

Jeez I was joking. You live in something smaller than that?

Congrats on mastering the log scale BTW, that must have been a significant achievement for you.

It's not for me to judge (although of course it is really), but it strikes me that if you're buying a car to aspire to be something, you're aspiring to a twat, in which case you probably already are a twat, so the purchase is pointless.

My aspirations must be really low, I don't have a car. It's the u-bahn & poverty wagon all the way for me.

You're seriously building a case for "poor me I only earn £50k, I can barely keep the BMW on the road"?

You'd never catching me driving a Bavarian Motor Wagon,

Seriously if you live in a city and don't need a car don't have one.

I have a crap car and it's much better for living in a city as I don't have to worry about someone scratching it when I leave it parked. My garage was telling me about the Jags etc they get in where someone has damaged them and run off.

Gosh you make it sound like I work for money, how awful.
