pain in the a_ _

We were referring to the attacks on the OP. The discussion matter is fine. The thread could become locked if it goes south again. :thumbup:

Attacks on the OP? If I go to a Honda forum and bash Honda's I'm gonna get attacked. It was hardly an attack on the OP. :dontknow:

I agree with PMK. If one is somewhat mechanically inclined and has the proper tools the work is not that difficult. If one is not so blessed, then, IMO, one needs to investigate the long-term costs of paying a quality dealership service department to do all the work and factor that cost into the price before making a purchase decision -- an exercise that is not rocket science.

Good point. I am NOT mechanical. I have had to pay to have mine serviced over the years. Our last farkle/service trip a month ago...we dropped $2K with the place. Farkles and oil change service on the 20 and a rear tire and oil change service on the 19.

If you reread your post you will see what i'm talking about, (as an example) of course replacing plugs is no problem, but getting to them is a pain in the a_ _!!

Yep, just like it was with the Chevy Vega until they put holes in the firewall so you could get to them, or the 1955 Ford F100 where the rear plug was so hard to get to it was almost never changed!
