I saw posts of that kind several times already and today I got a chance to experience that myself for the first time. Tonight I dropped off my 5AT coupe for the first maintenance (at 3500 miles) and got a sedan with 16500 miles on the clock as a loaner. Well, it maybe just a different perception but the loaner feels quicker than my coupe and it even shifts smoother. Is it really that common? Should I expect to see any changes in the behavior of my car as it gets more miles?

 

yes

 

To me the loaner shifts alot smoother but no way it feels faster than my car

I would think it feels faster because you dont hear the engine/exhaust like you do in the coupes. I dunno... thats what I think

 

sedans are faster...this has been discussed a million times

 

when u get ur car back, let that bitch run hard and i will guarantee the loaner will not feel faster next time u take it in for maintenance .

O yea sedans are faster regardless.

 

orly...hows that

 

The sedan only feels faster because you're probably beating the thing like a trailer trash wife.

I thought the Sedan felt pretty quick too when I got a loaner... but then when I stepped back into my coupe and got on it, everything cleared up.... and I loved my car even more than before.

 

my friend beats g35x's in his 05 accord coupe automatic v6....i smoke him.

 

the loaners are faster.

 

sedans are faster because they are lighter. Same engine, less weight=faster

 

Faster by what? .2 milliseconds ?

 

the loaners always "feel" faster cause they get ran hard all the time.

 

All loaners have a Turbo sticker under the hood.

 

EXACTLY. drive YOUR CAR the same way you drove the loaner and see how it "FEEL"

 

loaners are faster cause it is always missing parts from people taking them instead of buying replacement, thus making it lighter.....duh!
