rental car that is
Car is in for recalls and they set aside a MS Miata for me.
They say that since I have Mazdas flagship car that I should get good loaners too :D
Wish all dealerships were like that

I wish I could print this off and hand it to my dealer each time they give me a loaner. Enjoy!

I got a Hyundai Santa Fe when I've taken mine in (Town North Mazda has the best service and the worst rentals...I'll take the bad rentals any day.)

So, I went from a small, fast, sleek car to a big, clunky, slow box.

omg, if i got that as a loaner...

my great loaner was also a ford taurus. (i feel your pain apotocki). and when my car was in the body shop i got a dodge neon. sigh.

i bet when i take my car in for the recall plus the brake squeal i'll get a taurus too. sigh. my dealership goes through hertz or something so i get the crappy cars.

Down here they send you to Enterprise. You can rent anything there from cheap ugly Chevrolet sedans that you've never heard of before, to G35s. What you get depends on what they have available. You never get a Mazda though.

I just got a Taurus (it has satellite radio, though). The local Mazda dealer (Oak Tree) has Hertz. The bummer is that Hertz rents G35's, but there weren't any on the lot. Hopefully they get through the two recalls quickly!

i used to smoke the MSMX5 in my NA 99 miata, but they are still sweet little cars

and even cooler that you got it as a loaner...

I get a lancer LS as a loaner...

When I had my 8 in to have a couple of dealer-installed options put in, they loaned me a Mazda 6. It was a 4-cyl AT version... but still a nice enough car.
