They'll have had the car a week tomorrow, I dropped it off last monday at 5 for what the service advisor thought would be "two days" until I said "Well that's very optimistic of you considering you're likely going to have to order parts"
The answer was "Order parts!?"... Not a very encouraging start, but eh... Communication is still iffy. reaching the end of the "two day" deadline I was still without news and I was the one to call back, not to yap about it taking a lot of time but just to know what I was doing with the loaner since loaners are subcontracted to a Discount car rental that has a counter in the corner of the showroom. I thought I'd get at least an update with a vague time frame as the week went on and the initial time estimate was left dirty and beaten, but no, not a peep.
In the meantime I'm driving a 2018 Corolla with a CVT. To my GREAT surprise, it doesn't seem to be much more economical than the 86, certainly not more economical enough to be worth the performance and handling tradeoffs, but still, it drives well and encourages zen driving by virtue of not being capable of not much else.
