I would have traded the miserable Chevy SUV Enterprise loaned me for a Corolla in a heartbeat. Thank you, Tesla. Now if only you could make this retroactive to my last two loaners...
Easy to say, until you've actually driven said crappy Corolla.
Funny story. I get in the Corolla, quickly adjust the seat position and drive off. While I'm driving I realize the seat back is leaning way back, so I pull on the manual handle on the side of the seat. The seat back comes flying forward and about pins me against the steering wheel.
So I'm driving with my chest six inches from the steering wheel and reach down to pull the handle and push the seat back. The only problem is that the seat won't budge. I keep pulling and leaning back, nothing happening. I'm convinced the damn thing is broken. :cursing: I'm already on the freeway and debate getting off and trying to mess with it or just drive home. I end up driving home with thoughts of the airbag shattering my sternum in my mind. :scared: I extricate myself from the vehicle and look at the seat and realize there is not one, but *two* nearly identical handles on the side of the seat. The rearmost handle controls the seat back, the front is some kind of pump for the seat height. I realized than when the seat back was leaning back, I would naturally grab the rear handle, but with it leaning all the way forward I would naturally grab the front one. Bad ergonomics.
In addition, the accelerator pedal was also broken. When you step on it, the vehicle barely moved, and did so very sluggishly. Who designs vehicles like this?

Okay, that's 5 total. Permission granted for the thread to figure out how to go negative.
Great, I'll go first. A P85 loaner is great since that's what I drive, but I won't be happy until they transfer my personal driver profile from my personal car to the loaner car! (See previous post on seat adjustments)
