Woo Hoo! I took my 99 TL-P in for its 75K maintenence, and I asked for a loaner car (I'm 18, and my old Infiniti dealer wouldn't allow me to have one) and my Acura service guy came out with the keys to a brand new TL-S loaner! I was shocked! I get to keep it for a day and a half..... and I LOVE IT! I mean it drives like my car, but its more sporty, more power, I like the seats/headrests better than my TL-P. I also like the Auto-Up window feature, and the foglights. The VSA is also a nice addition. As you are probably thinking, yes this is the first time I've ever driven a Type S. Now... I did spend all night last evening driving my friends '03 SL 500 (Incredible awesome car.... its just amazing) but I love the Type S! If anyone in Atlanta needs service on the Acura, go to Acura Carland by Gwinnett Place Mall... exceptional service! It just pisses me off that I have 8 pages I have to write and a history test I have to study for, for tomorrow, and its raining.... but I love it!!!!! I just thought I'd tell everyone!

wtf?!.....I'm 20 and my Acura(Park Ave) refuses to give me a loaner......BS.....that's another reason I dont get any service done at the dealership....

 

damn...thats a great loaner...i got a saturn 200 last time =(

 

I'm 18 at the time and my dealer gave me a 03 TL-P.
Was hoping for the CL-S but he said that next time i have to tell them what i want and they'll see if they can make it possible.

 

Im suprised they gave you one. Acura policy is you have to be 25... insurance reasons or whatever.... Im taking my car in monday to the other acura dealership aound here, and im asking for a loner to see what happens...

 

Hmm, Park Ave didn't even ask me for my age, they just offered it to me but I said no I have no where to go and I waited until they were done with the service

 

went to my dealer, I'm 16 and they gave me a Audi s4 loaner once. It was crazy. I cant believe that they even have S4 loaners.

 

damn people are getting awsome loaner cars up in here. When my tranny went bad they gave me a doge stratus and i cant even drive it cuz im not 21!! so i had to make my dad drive 45 mins from home to pick up a loaner. WTF im old enough to buy a car and yet i cant get a loaner?!!!

 

How come all you young punks have such nice vehicles? I was driving around a Datsun wagon at your age!

 

So I drove and '92 Sable. I've been working since as long as I remember. And last year alone was doing 70-80 hours/week.

 

Yeah, when I called up this morning to book the appt for my maintenence, I asked how old I had to be to get one and he said at least 18... thank god we get one more privelege around this world besides being able to buy tobacco products at 18.... Anyways, yea, its been raining here all night, but its kinda crazy, I'll go around a corner pretty quickly, expecting the car to slide, cause I want to see how the VSA compares to my moms DSC (bmw) but it doesn't even come on really unless I do something durastic.... the car just seems to hold its own. Now, wheelspin is a different story... LOL - VSA activates when the car shifts from 1st to 2nd cause the tires spin on the wet road.

Speaking of shifting - that sport shift really pisses me off... cause I can control my 1st - 2nd gear on my 99, and in this one I cant unless I gate shift, which isn't that bad though. All in all, I really like the Type S... and I might have to consider upgrading one day.

 

Tell me about it. I was still walking when I was 21

 

i have such a nice vehicle at 22 cuz i worked my ass off to pay for it.

the first week i owned it, three random people asked if it was a gift from my parents, i wanted to beat them all with a tire iron.

 

Just curious, what kind of work did you do at 22 and made so much money ?

 

punks??!! excuse me!!
