Worst loaner: Bright Gold Toyota Matrix with a cracked windshield.
Best loaner: Loaded 750i (which I got to keep for 3 weeks when my 550 was waiting on a part in the early days.)

My Ride: A Car
Default

my loaner history:

335i - wasnt too good. got pulled over for speeding 85 in a 45, no signal when switch lanes, wreckless driving (thank you PBA card)
528xi - felt like driving my car with less power and ugly interior
X3 - the worst car i drove ever!!
Mustang Convertible - freakin enterprise POS. So uncomfy.
328xi - couldve chose a 2009 535i but it was snowing. Couldnt drive RWD wih summer tires in snow.

Yeah, it was great and because I had it for 3 weeks I really got a feel for it - beautiful car. My 550 was about 2 months old and went in for a rough cold idle, they gave me the 750 loaner probably expecting a day or two, but they needed to order some parts and just let me keep it.

I got a Toyota Corolla, there were three 3-Series sitting in the parking lot. I dont drive loaners unless I have to, so it didn't matter to me. Before that I got a Chevy Impala, and before that was a 3-Series with few options.
And last time I took my car in, I got a Mazda 3...The very basic model with almost nothing, however it did have Hertz Neverlost... which I didn't need. Ha. They must not like me very much...maybe because I've only purchased 3 cars from them, 2 new, 1 used. *sarcasm*

So to recap (over three BMW's):
Mazda 3
Toyota Corolla
Chevy Impala
BMW 3 (basic model with bare minimum) (more than once)
Chevy Malibu

My dealer doesn't give me a loaner.
He tells me to take the courtesy shuttle home. I've missed so many classes because of it >_<

A 328i with virtually NOTHING in it! They just cannot finish with my car soon enough!! Poor little 328i is going to be made to pay for this!!
