General comments?
This car handles well on the road.
This car leaks some type of oil or combination of oil/fluid, however I am told I have no oil leaks.
I like driving this car. It is comfortable, gets okay gas mileage on the road, and is an easy 4 passenger car.
I need the name (s) of dealerships or mechanic shops that have been used in the Alpharetta/Roswell, Georgia area who have proven to be qualified (proven by your experience) to work on this car. My e-mail address is lbflem@bellsouth.net. Thank you.
