    I had a '94 Honda Civic that was so easy to change plugs on that I did
    it once in an Autozone parking lot.

    My current suv has a Hemi in it. LOL (4 cyl but the design is tech hemi!)
    Very easy to change all 4 plugs, so easy in fact I did it myself yesterday
    in a driveway.

    Probably would have required a lot of work to get those 2 out and back
    in. Most of the Ford V6s these days that are transverse mounted require the removal of the intake manifold to access the rear bank ignition
    coils and spark plugs.

    Yeah, the back 2 required some handiwork and removing the water pump.

    With my Gen3 Prius, you need to take off the windshield wipers and the windshield facia to get to them. if only that engineer had rotated the
    top of the block 90 degrees it'd be a walk in the park to change the plugs.

    Luckily, they're rated for 100K miles.

    Like my 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan...they were buried so deep it was a $300+ labor job just to get to them.

    Luckily, they're rated for 100K miles.

    Same with the Caravan.
