Offered yet another VW Golf by South Lakes Porsche, declined and moved to Preston Porsche who collected my Turbo from my home and returned it later that same day.

Via Porsche Assist on two occasions the loaner has been a Merc C 220D, now there is a cr4p car full of cheap and nasty looking plastic.

By a country mile the absolute worst loaner I had years ago was a beat up rust bucket of a very small Honda Civic that had a top speed of only 60 mph and a mileometer that was jammed at all the 9’s
best loaner i had was when I had my C240 Avantgarde SE Merc and they sent me off in a brand new Brabus E class!

In over 5 years of Porsche ownership, the first time that the OPC lent me a non-Porsche courtesy car was recently, when I got this. :( Let’s see what I get on Oct 11th...

Oh dear. Driving a Toyota means other drivers automatically add 10 to 20 years to your age :shock: Did they also give you a hat to wear?

It was ok to drive, although I did the minimum distance in it (just home and back) but the visibility was awful (rear view from driving seat, and over the shoulder view) - much worse than in my own car.

When ours goes in next month to have its "Hard reset" we've been offered a Taycan, Boxter, Panamara and Cayman. We've asked for the Cayman for the 2 days.

Ooh, I’d be tempted by a fully charged Taycan!

Did think about it, but the car park at the wife's work is pretty tight and not sure if she'd have to go in those days, the Taycan is a big car.
