Am I A Snob?!!

My 2 month old car has got to go back to the dealers next week who say it's going back to Land Rover for them to have a look at all it's faults Shocked

The dealer said it could be away for the week Shocked

But they will give me a replacement vehicle whilst it is away Very Happy

They've emailed today to say it will be a Freelander Shocked

I've told them Censored !!! Laughing

I'm sure the Freelander is a very good car, but am i being a snob for expecting a like for like replacement? Confused Owner of MY13 RRS Red Edition, Santorini Black, Ebony with Lunar, Privacy Glass & Exterior Design Pack

In a way yes Laughing ,.......BUT i was exactly the same the other week. I complained and ended up getting an Evoque to mess around in for a week. No RRS, but still a fairly nice place to be.
At the end of the day, you're driving a £60k motor, that through no fault of yours isn't up to scratch and needs to be off the road, therefor they should put you in a suitable replacement. Thumbs Up ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

My point being that i have to visit customers on a regular basis who expect their main supplier to LOOK and be a successful, profitable & progressive company.

If i were to 'rock up' in a Fiat Punto i'm pretty sure most of my customers would (unfortunately) think WTF!! Shocked Owner of MY13 RRS Red Edition, Santorini Black, Ebony with Lunar, Privacy Glass & Exterior Design Pack

I have no doubt they are but I bought a 4x4 and I expect one when mine is being fixed Bow down

A friend sells chemicals to farmers and has a FL2 because most of his time is spent in fields - when he was given a fiesta loan car he told them he would bring it back covered in mud and hoped the tow eye was suitable for being pulled out by tractors Laughing

A loan car is a sales tool - I recently had a FFRR for a loan car and came very close to changing but decided to wait for now - not sure a volvo will help LR sales if I like it and buy one Rolling Eyes Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

I got a FL2 too whilst my RRS went back for new ARB bushes. I was hoping for a FFRR to see what all the fuss was about, but was happy in the end as I don't think there would have been any way the wife could have driven onen of those beasts on London roads. Whistle

I quite liked it, fairly chuckable and torquey engine. I considered taking it on track . Wink MY16 SDV6 Autobiography

my dealer gives me FL2 XS or HSE's and im not happy, they are black and never have the Censored satnav dvd in them Laughing

I keep asking if they having anything bigger, even though they run them as loan cars, they never have one available, if they did it would mean I have a good days test drive and might go back and buy one
