Humiliation!

Just dropped my car off at Porsche of Huntington, NY.

For Drive Off Assist Failure and a broken window motor.

Got a 2002 Chevy Malibu (w/ reserve fuel light on and low rear tire pressure alarm)... from enterprise...

Is this something other people have experienced?

Does that dealership have any Porsche loaners? I've had Enterprise rentals with other makes before, but even they had relatively nice rentals without maintenance issues and full tank of gas. My dealership gave me a loaded Panamera S Hybrid with 2K miles on the clock, and a really nice Boxster S PDK before that.

Hmm....you will appreciate getting your Porsche back even more now. You have to drive uninspired cars every once in a while just to keep it real.

A Malibu though, I have to give you some props for being a man about it. You da man!

Wow a 2002 Malibu?? they must not like you at all, I didn't even think rent-a cars had cars more than 5 years old.

I got a Panamera last time I took my car for checkup. and even the nissan dealer when i had my 350z they gave me an Altima coupe every time.

This was my experience a few years back as well.

I find that service and loaner programs are dealer dependent. When you find a good one, stay with them.
