First off, I love my MM. I got it at a more than fair price with low mileage and in great condition. However there are 2 very mild concerns I have...
1. When I have the air on (air, a/c, or heat), it is common for it to make a weird noise after I turn off the car. As soon as I turn off the ignition there is this hissing that grows in volume, peaks, and dies out (all of which only lasting 2-3 seconds). I was wondering if anyone had had this issue before? It's barely even a mild nuisance at worst, but I was just wondering if it was something simple.
2. Occaisionally my power steering will go out. Now I don't think it is the power steering, I think it is the speed sensitive steering that makes it harder to turn at higher speeds, but on occasion it will act like I'm at a high speed (i.e really hard to turn the wheel) when I'm just turning on the car or going at slow speeds. Again, it's really not a big deal, but just wondering if it is common. I found that if I get it up to speed, a lot of times it will go back to normal.
Also, how does everyone feel about their MPG? I generally accept it as an acceptable sacrifice to having such a cool car, and when I can I'll fill it with 93 octane, but I was wondering if anyone else has anything they do to improve it any.
