I dont' know if this have been mentioned before, but I figure with all the complaints on this site. I will go for a lighter subject.
List the loaner cars you have revieved from you Acura Dealer while you car was in the shop. List from Best to worse.

Me:
2002 Acura RSX (whitel) great handling car- Dealer Vehicle
2000 Toyota 4runner. Sweet. Sweet. Sweet.
1999 Acura Intergra (Dayglo Blue) Ewwww!-Dealer Vehicle
2001 Buick (Felt like grandpa and got sea sick too) Rental
2001 Chrysler Minivan (Didn't drive it off the lot.) Please!!!!
2002 Ram Pickup Crew Cab 4x4 (9 freaking MPG!!!!!!!!!) took it back the next day

Now that I looked at this list, I spend more time in other vehicles than my own. Geez. Feel like Motor Trend Test driver.

 

Worst...well, it's a tie...a Mercury Sable (for 23 days) and a TL-P (for 6 hours) that had nearly an inch of dirt (not dust...DIRT) on the floor of the car, some broken shards of window glass on the back floor, was so musty it smelled as if it had been in a flood, and there must have been a hole in the cowl somewhere because there was a breeze coming from under the dash even with the windows closed and the air/vent fan off.

There was no Best... ;^(

 

Man, I feel for you guys.

I had brand new 2002 TL-P's both times I needed a delear loaner. So is that the "best" or "worst?"

 

I previously had Pontiac Grand Prix & Integra for loaner.

 

2000 Integra for 3 days. :yack:

My wife's old civic was better.

 

In the 2 & 1/2 years that I had my 2000TL I think I had 2 loaner cars. The worst was a 2001 ACURA Integra 4 door sedan. It did not even have 5,000 miles on it. The car was knida smelly I think the last people that had it smoked. The car did not have any pep in it I had that car for 2 days. They were going to give me a Kia Sportage mini SUV wan't to be. I told them my elderly mother cound not get up in that thing. The next time they had Enterprise Rental pick me -up they were located just about 300 feet from the ACURA dealership. They put me in a 2002 Chevy Malibu with about 2000 miles on it. This car was not that bad but it was classic GM. I had it for 3 days & was real happy to see my TL.

 

I had a Chevy metro once.

 

:wow: I would have been telling that deallership

 

2000 Baseline Integra - I was so happy to have mine back.
.

 

I also had a 02 RSX base as a loaner. It was a fun car to drive. And the other times were just 99-00 integras.

 

Had 1.7EL(or upscale Civic... hehe).... pretty nice car thoug.... rides alot similar to Civic.... but alot more luxurious interior....

Once, I got anIntegra with strange odor coming from the rear carpet. I went back to dealer for another loaner (RSX).

 

2002 Silver RSX
Gold Dodge Stratus
Gold Dodge Intrepid
Red GMC Pickup truck (yes i know)

 

Same here. Had a 5 speed MT and it was a lot of fun.

 

yeah EL!! hehe.. too bad our American friends don't get to experience it.....

 

I have only had 1 loaner. It was a 2002 RSX. I really didn't like the car though. It did handle OK, but seemed to hop a little more over big bumps in the road. Definitely felt sportier than my TL-S but it just seemed to loud and slow for me.

I think I felt this way because I have been in my friends RSX Type-S a few times and the RSX loaner just did not compare.

 

Haven;t had the opportunity for a loaner yet

 

2001 or 2 RSX
2001 integra( baseline)
mitibushi mirage
ponitic grand prix
dodge stratus ( EWWW OMG GOD IT WAS BAD)

as i remmber those were it.

 

Had integras and now I just got a Ford Contour from Park Ave Acura:yack:

 

Loaner? What's a loaner

I never had to have one before.

 

WHEN MY TRANNY WAS BEING SWAPPED I PIMPED A 2002 RL FOR A WEEK. WHEN THEY TURNED MY ROTORS I HAD A SUZUKI EGG LOOKIN POS FOR A DAY.

 

They're swapping my tranny now, I've been driven a pow... pow.. powerful (and let's not forget... sleek)...


Saturn SL2 ...with color match bumpers... whow...

...

 

I've aways had Acura products from Flatirons Acura in Boulder, CO. CLs, TLs, a CL Type S, late RSXs.

 

I'm going for service next week for the first time.
Hope they give let me drive RSX-S

 

Neither have I.. I usually just bring my sleeping bag, a portable tv, and a few cups of change and just camp out in the service dept. for the twenty or so days while the Tl-s is in the shop ... i make meals out of the food available in the vending machine area.

 

Well I just got my TL-S about 10 days ago, but when I had my GS-R, they normally had Integra LS coupes :o Now they are replacing them all with brand new SSM TL-S'

When they swapped my Navi controler, SM Acura rented me a car at Enterprise, I got a Corolla. It was considered an upgrade as it was the one ready to go.

 

4 door integra...it was ok, but very anemic by comparison. the worse, rental neon. inbetween, rental galant...which, btw, isnt

 

When I had my transmission replaced, my Acura dealer was gracious enough to provide me with a red Ford Escort loaner from Enterprise.

 

hahaha.. yea.. dangnabit .. is that at esserman acura in miami by any chance? I got the same ford escort deal when they were taking a look at my transmission.

now I'm having my transmission switched at rick case acura and they were nice enough to hook me up with a dodge intrepid from thrifty rental. or maybe it was thrifty that was nice enough to give me an intrepid instead of a stratus.

either way, I'm comfortable enough with the intrepid to not complain. after all, it has leather, a slightly underpowered but pretty big nonetheless v6, and slightly more toys than the non navi-TL (namely the neat little fuel mileage computers and compass) .. and oh yea.. it handles pretty nice for a car almost a foot longer than the TL due to it being decently wide to match I guess.

I dont think I'd trade my TL for it of course.. but just saying .. its not a bad car to use in a pinch. ..

 

i had an 02 honda civic DX with power lock and A/C

noisy, underpower but 42mpg of fuel econ!!! that's a lot of city too

 

Acura Integra
Mitsubishi Mirage
Chevy Impala

 

I"m currently driving a 2.5 TL. i don't even know what year it is....it's aight, but i want my 3.2 TLS back.....NOW!
