So my GTD is in for repair next Friday due to the creaking in the steering and opted for me to deliver with courtesy car instead of collection and delivery (in case it took more than 1 day and having no car for the weekend)
Has anyone taken their MK7 in and opted for a courtesy car and if so what type of car should I expect?
I've been parading around in my GTD very smug and worrying now that I will have a weekend with a beetle and VW advertising print all over it :embarrassed:
-
look forward to a polo or vw up :grin:
-
Noooooooo - I will pay for a taxi instead :shocked:

Does it matter if it's only for a few days max? I've got a Golf SE as a courtesy, i've had it for 6 weeks now! :grin: only another 9 to go!! :lipsrsealed:

That could be dangerous! :evil:

I got a Tiguan R Line after i grumbled about being given an UP!. If i had paid that much money for a car like that i would have been massively disappointed.
If it's only for a day or two though it doesn't matter as everyone knows courtesy/hire cars are the fasted cars on the roads :wink:

Jimble, if I also had an R to look forward too I would happily take a peddle go cart with ribbons on! :grin:

Last courtesy car I had was a bright yellow peugeot small bean looking thing. Dunno what it's called, but it felt like I was driving a tin can. NB: Wasn't from a VW dealership. I'd be happy with an UP! At the very least, it makes you appreciate your own. :smiley:

My last courtesy car was a MK7 Golf GTI PP when my Scirocco went in for a service and look where that got me :whistle: :whistle:
-
I got given a DSG Polo - it was so slow I could have run faster (and I'm a fatty :laugh:), but it was only for one day so not too bad I suppose.

My challenge is to see how many miles I can put on a courtesy car. I save up all my journeys for when I've got one. The best I managed was just over 600miles in one day when one of the cars was in for service. When my old Passat was away for 3 weeks for warranty paintwork I was given a Mk6 Golf Match with 200 miles on it. When I took it back, it had done just over 4000 miles. :evil:

:grin:Brilliant! My workmate did the same...he was told he had a mileage limit but he put on as much as he could in a week! It was the garage's fault that his car was back in again so he was a bit angry at them :whistle:

Did I say I was thinking about a Touareg next Lee? I'd like an extended test drive before I make my mind up tho'. Do you think you could arrange one for August? Two weeks should be long enough. Oh, and if it had a tow bar, that would be even better.

I was offered an Up!
Asked for something bigger and more comfortable as wife is pregnant so I jokingly said a GTI or similar will do and the 3 workers at the desks there laughed and bought me back keys for a Polo :shocked:

I've been given an Up while they fix my GTI, It's an amusing little car :grin:
