Car Loaner... I'm in tears!!

Ok so I dropped the car off last night, right before the dealer closed to check out the alignment, my vents and the homelink.. well they didnt have anymore loaners so they had to call Enterprise and this girl brought me a 2005 Chevy Malibu!! ITS HORRIBLE. I cant believe this is a brand new car!
I seriously called my friend and was crying. I WANT MY TSX BACK NOW!!!

what other cars have other people got to drive for loaners???

p.s.-OH the worst thing is that I was in a hurry to go to my other job (which is 30 mins away during rush hour) and i pull out of the parking lot and the freakin gas lite goes off! WTF!!

Also from Enterprise, they gave me a crappy Explorer. I thought the fuel tank was leaking gas since it used so much.

stphy, get used to it. I even called ahead to schedule a loaner and they didn't have one. Acura dealers do not have a large enough fleet of loaners and they are not willing to pay to allow their customers to at least get a equivalent car.

C'est la vie. You'll have to learn to deal with it. I just sent in my service feedback form with a very very unhappy review.
