    Was this during the scheduled maintenance or were you just going to get another update?
    I wonder if this car will pass an Ecoboost.

    This was during a scheduled 30k maintenance window at which they determined I needed the latest and greatest trans update.

    The Corolla does shift better, smoother acceleration and throttle than my Turd Gen.

    The Corolla will not pass an Ecoboost.

    Nice. I mean your brick. Maybe this will be the 'straw' that gets all your digital issues solved?

    As for the loaner. I'd have at least asked for a Highlander. You know. To get spoiled and all while you wait.

    This was first available and I had already ate all of their donuts today and drank a pot of coffee. They needed to get me the hell out of there.

    So kids will feel semi cool when they roll into the HS parking lot after daddy buys them one.

    And mommy loves the air bags and MPG for Jr. (not sure I blame her either)

    If it takes more than a day they said they'll put me in a SUV or truck. Don't really need one for the next few days anyhow. Now if this goes on for a week or two, I'm going to need a different vehicle.

    It's just comical at this point. The dealer does take really good care of me. Last time I was in they hooked me up on some stuff and brought the service manager a 12 pack of his favorite beer. Needless to say, they know me on a first name basis there. I always give them 5 star reviews.
