I guess I am lucky. Our dealership usually gives me a fully loaded corolla, although it is always auto. I am taking in our Sequioa for running guard repairs soon (got hit in parking lot) and I am hoping to get a manual MR2

You are right. I checked my warranty information. They say transportation, not comparable transportation. I stand corrected and I will no longer bitch about it. At least I got one.

My other vehicle is an Isuzu Rodeo - the dealership is Isuzu Lincoln Mercury (how's that for a combo?) Last time I got a loaner it was a Town Car. You think driving a big unresponsive SUV is bad well, driving a town car is a heck of a lot worse (and they didn't understand why I wasn't thrilled) .

When I took my 2000 BMW 328i in for service, I got a 2003 330i as a loaner - that was sweet! And back when I had an Audi A4, they gave me an A6.
Now with my 8, I get a well-used Protege. Blah.

I would have had to wait three weeks for a car so asked a colleague to drive me. Actually, it was 2 weeks before I could even get in for service. My other car can go into its dealer on one days (two max) notice.
How far in advance have most of you had to schedule your service in order to get a rental car???

Ive worked up my rental people to give me upgrades and such for free even though the dealer doesnt do anything above basic (hahah and thats not equal value) and im not 25 so i cant get a new pickup truck or SUV they tell me.

my dealer provides the loaner, i don't have to go through a rental company.
I just have to do it before 3:30 pm and I can get a loaner on the spot. I usually schedule maintenence a couple days in advance tho.

Look on the bright side, the Scion crowd would be proud of you for driving their cars' father

Hey I get a ride to work. And they pick me up too! We all pile in to a nice MPV and tour around town dropping everyone off. Does it get any nicer than that? If I am lucky I can chose my pick-up time.
