OPC Courtesy Car?

[pattyg]

I put my old jalopy in for a service in July and was looking forward to a nice courtesy car given the OPC tax.

I got a very nice Skoda Fabia.

They couldn’t use the excuse they were all booked out as I booked my service months in advice so they came up with the shortage of cars due to current worldwide issues.

What did you get from your OPC at service time?

I usually get a Macan or a cayenne but have had a boxter before now.

[C. Grimsley]

Never even offered me one.

A Macan twice and a Cayenne once , usually I wait though

My US based OPC was reprimanded for using Audis as courtesy cars as they had the Audi dealership next door. When I bought my Cayenne I had some warranty work that ended up taking a couple of weeks. They gave me a Macan GTS and told me to try and break it by driving it as bad as possible.

Always been given a Porsche.

Recently I had Cayenne when my Macan was serviced & a Macan when my 911 was serviced.

First time round it was a BMW hybrid thing, tried to use it in electric only as it had a 32 mile range but it died after 12. Second time it was a Caynenne.

When our 718 Cayman 2.0 went in for its first service in 2020, we were given a Cayenne e-Hybrid.

When it went in a year later for its first MOT, I got their Cayman GTS 4.0 demo for the day (I didn't specifically ask for it). Naturally I ordered one later that week and we finally collected it in March!

I put my 718 Boxster S in for a bit of work and had a Cayenne Coupe as a courtesy - it was quite good!

Personally, I think it devalues the exclusivity of the Porsche brand to have a fleet of Porsche courtesy cars.

However, in normal times, they had loads and were given them by Porsche, to boost new registration numbers, for senior staff, demonstrators, loan cars, display cars, etc.
Always felt it it made them look like other mass market manufacturers.

I would be very happy with a VW or Audi. Only exception would be for customers who have bought new and have a long term warranty issue - they should be upgraded in some way.

I always enjoy jumping-in on threads like this, as I smile to myself at being given a Ford Fiesta courtesy car by a Ferrari main dealer (yes that's you Maranello Sales) when I took my lovely 550 in for its annual service. Didn't really bother me much at the time, I must admit. But on reflection it's probably not Maranello customer services finest hour.

We had a BMW 2 Series Active Tourer last time, hateful thing to look at but got us home from Cardiff. Was never expecting them to give me a Porsche !

[seawise]

Never had anything but another Porsche. Couple of times had a Boxster, once a Cayman, but all the other occasions a Cayenne or Macan. Last extended loan was an e-hybrid Cayenna which to be fair made a lovely daily - never thought i’d say that about an SUV Porsche…grrrrrr

[Cheib]

Always a Porsche....had everything except a 911. I had to learn how to charge a Taycan loan car pronto when they couldn't get the work finished on my Cayenne.....I soon discovered that all charging points are not born equal. First one I tried gave me 14 miles range in 90 mins !

[Xyphox]

Always a Macan or a Cayenne, about 7-8 times now.

[jimbo761]

Used to get a Macan which is like driving a bus after a Cayman. Last two times I’ve had a Cayman T which has been interesting to try the PASM vs passive on mine. Not much in it, but the PASM in normal mode is slightly more forgiving on rough roads such that I’d probably consider optioning it on the next one.

Car in for a service last week.

Was given a 72 plate Cayman GTS 4.0 with 20 miles on it.

[JohnnyUK]

Over the years, I've tried pretty much every Porsche model as Courtesy cars (except the GT cars)

I'd find another dealer

[matrignano]

Bentley are playing the “we don’t have any courtesy cars at the moment” game.
Should I tell them to bugger off or is that their right not to supply one?

Anyway, never had a Aston courtesy car from Aston, always Merc A/C classes and once a Jaguar XF.
