I've been working on my own cars for many years, and it just seems that this car is easier to work on than almost any I have every had - at least front-wheel drive V6's.

Sure, it's cramped around the pulleys and belts, but in general there seems to be more room, and the intake is a breeze to remove. I know that removing intakes from Nissan/Infiniti products is a pain, and that is my most recent comparison, so maybe that is tainting my view.

Anyone else want to offer an opinion? Are all Hondas like this?

 

my third gen is pretty easy to work on as well.

 

Subaru's have more room in the engine bay and are more simple so work is easier.

but i do agree the 2G TL is not bad to work on.

 

Yep, working on it has been a breeze.

 

agree, these cars are not too bad to work on. everything is in easy reach and pretty simple to work on. there are a few pains in the butts, like rear motor mount and a few other things, but all in all its pretty nice like most hondas.
