HEX to Paddington (around 30 GBP, for 2 ppl) and than a taxi to Mayfair (around 10 GBP). I can take a VW Passat for 34 GBP or an E-class for 53 GBP!

Tube will be cheaper, but not quicker unless in peak hour and/or the destionation is close to the Western half of the Piccadilly line. If you are travelling alone, a car service will almost never be worth it, and will take a lot longer than HEX+taxi.

I always find that unless your destination is within 1 or 2 stops of Paddington, then the airport to door travel time is roughly the same if you use the Tube as opposed to the HEX then the Tube - and if you are travelling at peak time then going to Paddington to get a Tube (or even a taxi) is probably one of the most stupid ideas going
The Heathrow Connect also has the advantage of stopping at Ealing Broadway from where you can get a direct Tube to central London
In any case, if there are 2 or more of you it's cheaper to get a car service from Heathrow than to use the HEX

They claim on the website to be London's largest minicab company, but with this quote and service conditions, I can't imagine how.
