Yeah, I went from an Enterprise Rental Mercedes C Class for a loaner in my first year of ownership two years ago (used 991S) and the next year they gave me a new Cayanne Diesel and a Boxster S. This past year I had a Panamera for a loaner. All nice cars - the Boxster S impressed me the most.

My wife loves her Cayenne...traded her 2012 Q5 for a new 2016 Cayenne base [after having the diesel we ordered withheld in purgatory sales-hold since last Nov]! Glad she did. I added black sports tips and she drives it to hell and back! Go for it!

Now that is good customer service!

A new turbo at suncoast. Think they wanted me to buy it for the GF. (She was with me)

My wife has a Cayenne Diesel, we love it. Great mileage on the car. On the highway it can get an honest 33-34 mpg. Around town down to 28-29. Easy to maintain also.

I'd love one of those, but they just don't have enough towing capacity. I always thought how cool it would be to pull up in a Cayenne pulling a trailer with 2 p-cars in it.

Never had an issue getting a loaner. Boxster, Cayenne, Panamera is the norm. Dealer will also collect/deliver if required. Has been that way for years.

Nice touch and added convenience and I appreciate it. No extra charge of course.
You guys sure must have more VIP status than me. I live about 80 miles away from my dealer so a service like this would be amazing,

In all fairness I do have to give a shout out to the shop foreman who came by my house on 4th of July weekend to try and reset the errant light with the Porsche computer. No word on my car as of now. I dropped it off late Friday morning. I suspect they may still be swapping parts to find a solution. Hopefully they will figure it out by Friday when I was scheduled to take another day off to go pick it up.
