I left my TL-S with the dealer last night to take care of the recall and picked up an Integra LS coupe loaner. The moment I sat in the car that's when I realized that I have been spoiled! I hate driving in in Integra. There is no power to the engine, no other luxury amenities like the TL, also, evrything looked "cheap!" Worst of all, I had a 93 Integra before the S and that was only a month and a half ago. Anyway, can't wait till I get my S back tonioght. I am leaving work early just so I can get rid of the Integra.

I took my wifes pickup to get serviced, and they "rented" me a FORD ESCORT!!! UGHH!
I felt like I had to take a shower after driving it! Then it turned out they had to keep the truck overnight, so I got to keep the Escort overnight!!

When I finally go the truck back home, I had to take the TL-S out for a spin to come back to reality.

Yes, we are SPOILED!

I have all you guys beat. For my loaner from BMW, it was a Kia Spectra.

 

KIA from a BMW dealer... that makes you want to buy another Bimmer, doesn't it?

I know if I were a dealer, I would always give you a cheesy Integra when your car was new, so you feel better about your purchase.

After the car was a few years old, or maybe 6 months before your lease was up (if I knew you leased it), I would start giving you an RL for a loaner to try to get you to upgrade.

 

Well hopefully the RSX will come out soon. They should be a little more fun to drive than an Integra LS. At least something new, anyway.

I guess I was one of the lucky ones that got a fully loaded (full kit & everything) demo TLS as my loaner. I went around racing Mustangs and Legends that day

2002 Black on Black TL TypeS

 

When I was out of town recently I drove a rental Chevy S10 (they were out of everything as usual). After I got back my TLS felt like I was taking the controls of the space shuttle...I am serious :-)

 

That's something everyone should experience from time to time. Was resently in Tucson & rented a Dodge Neon. Pretty basic, under powered. Man, was it nice to get back to the TL! What a difference. Thank god I own a TL WE ARE SPOILED!!! ( & I love it!)

LOL, I am fortunate to have dealers that would give me their own cars as loaners(So far, have been given E320, ML320 Elegance, C230 Kompressor, all fully loaded, with less than 6000 miles on the clock), however, my local MB dealer does give out rented cars as loaners, and they are almost always Hyundai Accent 3DR...

Now, I have yet to get my TL-S to dealer, but heard that they give mostly 1.7EL and Integra GS as loaners..

I raced to the dealer yesturday to pick up my S and MAN, was I happy to see her!!!! On top pf it all, the dealer fixed everything... except for window reprograming. Good thing I check out this forum every 5 minutes, I just reprogramed it myself from remembering the instructions from a previous post. Good luck with your recall visit!

Kia?? When my brother brings his 540 in for servicing he gets a 330 everytime! I think it is because they are trying to have him cinvince me to buy the 330 instead of the TL-S as I am still deciding

 

When I brought my Z28 to have the axle replaced (for the second time) under warranty, they "let" me drive a Cavalier free of charge. The first time it went in, they were willing to "rent" me a Prizm for $40 a day plus mileage.

The extra perks of luxury marque ownership is one of the reasons I'm leaning towards an Acura TL. Oh, that and the overall greatness of the car. Too bad it's fwd, but it's spectacular nonetheless.
