The mention of Honda Jazzes (Jazzs?) on the cars to avoid thread got me thinking about my Lotus main dealer, that has (or had) a Honda Jazz as a courtesy car for when people take their Lotuses (not Loti, I'm fairly confident) for service. You turn up in your Elise, Exige, or Evora (other models are available) and you drive out in a 1.0 Honda Jazz. It's decent of them to lend a car at all, but I couldn't help but hope for something a bit more Lotus-y the first time I went there...

Another garage (an independent, in fairness) I once used had a Perodua Myvi automatic. You'll be forgiven for not knowing what one is, but all I will say is that the speedo showing 140mph was about 75% redundancy... laugh Apparently, a Daihatsu built under license in Malaysia. The only one I've ever seen and a very unusual choice (although no doubt spectacularly cheap, so maybe that explains it).





What's your strangest courtesy car, or simply most 'off-brand' loaner when using a garage?

Central I assume? I've had their Blue Jazz before, I'll probably be having again next Weds when my Evora goes in for a service. They have a white Toyota something or other as well, that one has Lotus plastered all over it, the Jazz doesn't.
That'll be the Aygo! laugh
