One nice thing about getting an Audi, at least from the dealer near me, is that ALL loaners are Audis, not crappy econoboxes. Hardly a deciding factor in buying a car, but I thought it was a nice touch.

Same with Lexus (at least locally). Just part of their excellent customer service - and I have NO affiliation with them, just love everything about them (except their price).
While our new car was being "adjusted," got a GS 300 to use, and when someone bought it from under us, an RX 330. Nice.

Have been borrowing dad's Chevy Z71 to ride the 4-wheeler, and I can't stand the way it floats on the highway, takes steering input like a suggestion, brakes like it has 10,000 lbs behind it. I breath a sigh of relief when I get back into my wonderful 8. Won't be able to have anything slower.
Hey w2aew!! I drive a 75 Triumph Spitfire with a GT6 motor and toyota 5speed. Sometimes you still can't beat the convertible! Only car I can stand driving.
By the way, I have always gotten a loaded Mazda 6 as a loaner. Too bad I didn't get an 8 like others have.
