Best and Worse courtesy car you've ever had?
Discussion
Hi people,
My Motability car broke down today so I just wondered what is the best and worst courtesy car that you have had?
For me the best had to be a brand new Audi A4 estate (top of the line model), With Motability RAC they have to give you like for like courtesy car and they didn't have any large automatics. So they ended up insuring me on the company bosses brand spanking new car hahaha.
My worst was a Peugeot 107. This is because unlike getting a car through Motability RAC it was through my car garage and all they had was this. It had no extras, no boot and moved like wheelie bin hahaha.

Best = 612 from Graypaul when the 550 went in for a service (they were trying to sell me one)
Worst = A Matiz from a local indie when the V40 I had as a snotter went in for service.
Ironically enough they were both within the same year as well as I had the V40 as my station/daily hack when I had the 550.

Bought a celica a few years back, about a week later a wheel bearing failed so took it back to the dealer to get it fixed. The only car he had that was road legal was a rusty fiat panda. Every time I closed a door you could hear more rust detaching inside the door. Thrashed it mercilessly for a couple of days, tried not to use the clutch etc.
nearly caused an accident trying to overtake an hgv without waiting for at least 5 miles of clear road in the oncoming lane.
Best was a Subaru estate, plenty of room in the back compared to the celica for frolics with the girlfriend. One of the battery cables snapped on my way home in the early hours, father was less than impressed when called out to rescue me.

I had a friend who had a Panda that was about sixteen years old. Rust and dents in almost every panel including a big one in the roof like people had jumped on it for fun!nearly caused an accident trying to overtake an hgv without waiting for at least 5 miles of clear road in the oncoming lane.

The stereo on it was the worst I've ever heard like listening to a mobile phone! Terrible car and one time it didn't start so we bump started it in a multi storey.
Good times at college or what is also known as the sit with mates or on own in local pub or cafe phase of life. 
Worst a 140k++ and 15++ year old Kia Magentis it was an utter heap which barely started. (I used the wife's car instead while my own car was receiving some bodywork). This was a bodyshop not a garage but still I was taken aback by how utterly s
t it was.
Best probably a Mini Cooper S the supercharged one and it was a new car. Only had it a day and what must be 40 miles in heavy congestion

Wife's BMW 3 series got hit up the arse end , got an E class cabriolet with 15 miles on the clock.
My 5 series got rammed in 1997 , I got a diesel Polo , wasn't fussed as they said it would be ready in two weeks , twelve weeks later I still had the damn thing , I used to take two anadin after driving the thing more than 50 miles.
