hi forum,
I have a 2002 SF, manual trans, with approx 52k miles. It runs pretty well generally, but there are a few issues I'd like the forum's opinion on.
1) Oil consumption, about a quart every 3,000 miles. Dealer claims this is within normal limits?! No signs of smoke, or leakage, but I never had a car with so few miles do this.
2) Hard shifting into reverse when parked, you usually have to shift into 1st, inch forward a bit, then into reverse. Again, dealer claims this is normal.
Also, can anyone recommend a good service/dealer in Los Angeles, or point me to an appropriate thread? TIA for your opinions--
