Ive just had to take my MY03 WRX back to the dealer to get the gearbox stripped down and fixed...a pain in the **** to start with. But what a beast of a courtesy car i got in return!!! sadly no....its not an STi......its a....wait for it.....

Dhiatsu Cuore.....oh yeah, you better believe it.....

Im sure the word courtesy was switched to pain somewhere!!!

watch your speed thats a license eater

Almost as bad as the 1.2 corsa they gave me when my 01WRX went in for the 3rd time in 2 weeks to have the indicators fixed. Made a big fuss as I've only had the car 6 weeks and the sales manager gave me another WRX he had on the front for sale

Think your self lucky ....... could have been a Justy

I got a nissan primera DIESEL when mine got serviced- possibly the worst car ever made...

Watch the torque steer on those beasts, and keep your eye on the speedo, top end power is phenomenal, so much as sneeze and you can go from 70 to 100+ in no time at all.

Also keep TCS on as it wheelspins violently in 5th.



On a serious note, driving a crap car for a bit does have the advantage that when you get back into your own car, it feels superb

Taking my MY02 to the garage I had a choice of courtesy car. And it was so diffcult to decide. I mean what a choice a Nissan Micra or a Ford Ka. They actually asked me what I'd prefer, "for you to take a little time as possible on my car" was my answer.

Makes you wonder just how much money you have to spend on a car to get a 'decent' courtesy car.

Porsche 911 owner being given a Corsa...don't think so!

scoob_babe

oh yes - that Justy nightmare. No more for us though!

Gangsta Smurf

Try a Nissan Micra 1.1 Automatic ... I put my foot down last week and am still waiting for the power! f.in useless!

Funnily enough I was driving home in the above baked bean and spotted a whole 'cru' of blokes admiring their fully bodykitted up Micras - how small did I feel!

pmsl @ courtesy car.


its bad that u get such a crap loan car when ur car is taken off the road by no fault of ur own.

i know people tend to rag the **** off a courtesy car but thats no justification for giving u a car thats about as fast as a tortoise on drugs

Andy Porter

I had a Justy as a loan car in February, just as it snowed
Now that was scary...

Neilo

thanks for the kind words of support for my beast / i think im stuck with it for well over a week!!!! im almost scared to look under the bonnet for fear of the hamster escaping.

I hope they fix it quick!!!

matt5cott

You might have to open up the bonnet im afraid mate! they go through quite a bit of oil!










Its either that or you put up with the wheel squeaking...

what would scooby do

I had a Punto as a loaner once - brand new, 50 or so miles on the clock - I took it back after 3 days as I had "collapsed" the suspension - whatever it was broken...

What's wrong with a Diahatsu Cuore??
I had a right laugh when I rented one.

But that was because I could thrape the nuts off it without breaking the speed limits and using f-all fuel in the process

And that buzzy 3 cylinder engine sounds better than my Qualcast Quadtrack

Be thankful it wasn't a Fiat Seichento

Poor Guy

just razz the bollox off the ****er!

Reffro

Its funny that most people have forgotten that the courtesy car is just that a 'courtesy'. They don't call it the expected car........

Therefore what ever car it is doesn't really matter, remember its offered as a favour to you to help you get about your business. The car is free and beggars can't be choosers after all.

Neilo

oh i know, i am only kidding in this post, but it really will make me appreciate it when i get the scoob back!

WRX_BLUES

I also had the Justy back when it snowed...I tell you what the 4WD on that thing without the power of the Impreza is SCARY!!!
