Too slow? It's a courtesy car that does 0-60 in under 5 seconds. On what planet is that too slow?
In the context of whether a loan car is slow or not, yes, yes it does.
A Toyota Aygo is a slow loan car. A 310bhp 4 series is not.
My mum got a VW up a few weeks back in exchange for a tiguan. Quite interesting to see what is generally regarded as a ****box is actually a fairly decent car!I like weird loan cars. A 335d is at least interesting. So far I've had a mini cooper JCW and an i3. Nice thing is i'd never choose those things to drive myself but it is fun to see other things.
If you wanted premium dealership experience get a Porsche

Oh come on! Took me a while to understand what you might have meant!
Shock horror as non-native english speaker child learns its first english watching american movies on TV, and then uses said english as an adult
Given the experience of @Gibbo I’ve fixed that for you, they really seem in a league of their own.If you wanted premium dealership experience get a Ferrari

. I do quite like the dash when its put in sport mode, just showing a digital speed and the revs. It just feels slow and wallowy (obviously if you had a 116d i'm sure it would feel fantastic). I did ask for something like an M3 or 4 for a day but no luck. I prefer the 0-100 metric as that sorts out the wheat from the chaff in terms of 'fast' cars. I realise its very much first world problems lo, but its just what you get use to. Oh and i did have a porsche previously, they lent me a boxster with PSE.

Could be worse - my Dad drop dropped his 640d for a recall fix, they made him wait for over an hour and then gave him a Nissan Duke...... for a monthCourtesy car of win (not) for me today. Dropped the m3 off for some warranty work and a service. Was promised an m240 which I though was reasonable, I ended up with a 335d xdrive touring. I was like the kid that doesn't get his favourite toy for Christmas lol. And to top it off there was 19 miles range on it so I've had to put a bit in the tank.

Wow you got a courtesy car!? Exceptional. BMW Bath won't give you one by default, you have to book ahead and the waiting list is typically around 3 months. Better hope you don't have a fault that needs fixing straight away because they sure as hell won't help you
. Last time I ended up taking 4 trains because I went back to pick up my car and it still wasn't ready, no phone call or text to let me know this before hand! Absolute dive.
Couldn't you just book it now?
Just tried to book mine in for a service and my normal dealer told me 20th June (and that's not even to get a courtesy car!), so I've booked it in elsewhere as I'm on 48.5k miles so about to run out of service pack.
Or a lexus
Think I’d prefer a Ferrari!
LFAThink I’d prefer a Ferrari!
I think you’d have to be a very bold man to choose a Lexus over a Ferrari no matter what the Lexus was, the LFA is epic but it’s not got a prancing horse on its rear.....LFA
Well not all ferrari are good. Eg first of the new california
