Courtesy cars - Redrob - 28-08-2014 11:04pm
On the subject of courtesy cars, I was wondering what is the best, and worst cars you have had?
Best was when we were rammed in our Q7, we were given a RRS 3.6 V8 for 2 weeks.
Worst was a Toyota Aygo when we took our Lexus IS300 in for bumper damage.
I think I know what Tony's worst will be. (Hope the Mondeo is better)
P.S. Thanks Evo king

I was given a Chevrolet Spark from Enterprise when my Evoque went in, they changed it the next day for a FL2 SD4 after I kicked off. Now have a Jaguar 2.2 Luxury while the Evoque is looked at again. (Nice car too with no rattles).

I had a Mini Countryman once which was easily the worse thing I've ever driven. Not that cheap to buy I think, but awful in every way.

My dealer always gives me a FL2 or a Volvo V40. And they've been servicing my LR's for the last 8 years.

Ummmm I'm losing out somewhere along the line! Shanks' pony for me if the car is serviced in West London - the LPR dealership is 3 minutes walk from Park Royal Tube, 10 from Hanger Lane and Barnet is 10 minutes walk from High Barnet, so I don't get loaners. BUT when I go to collect new cars I get picked up in very nice cars indeed, when I went to collect the current Evoque I was collected from Hanger lane and taken to Barnet in a brand new F Type V8 Coupe, didn't half get a lot of looks! I was offered to drive it round north London but preferred to be driven by Jeremy from Grange Garage.
If I take cars to my local dealer in Scotland then I get a run to the bus depot or if they have a spare driver then I will be run the 16 miles home, I don't usually ask for a loaner as I have the Defender I can use instead.

I've had a variety of courtesy cars from Stratstones Newport when my Evoque has been in for repair/service. Jag XF, RR Sport (old model), FL2 and humble Focus. Whilst there is supposedly a £12/day fee they tend to waive that I've found because of the RR badge. Apart from the Focus they do seem to try to provide decent loan cars in place of the Evoque. The FL2 I've had twice, once recently for 5 days when a gear box seal leak was sorted out - I think that was an expensive warranty claim for LR!

Jag XF from my current dealer.

Lucky you guys! The first time they gave me a shuttle service, the second was a kia rental from enterprise, which was dirty as hell! I was not impressed

Evoque SD4 Prestige and a Freelander 2 SD4 Dynamic were the last two, both from Enterprise. Usually I get the Dealer to pick up and return to where I happen to be working at no cost.
