[Tigers] Changing Spark Plugs

I feel your pain.  I think most of the new vehicles recommend plug changes at 100,000 miles.  So, if you trade before that, it's the next owner's problem.   Mark

2002 Mazda MPV.  Front three spark plugs, 5 minutes. Back three spark plugs, 5 hours. The rear facing plenum and everything associated needs to be removed. Then you have to work blindly under the windshield/dash area to remove the coils and plugs. Thereafter I told the wife NO MORE V-6, FWD vehicles – Ever!

Exactly !  Years ago the Tiger was considered very difficult to change.  Compared to a modern engine it's fairly easy.  I offered to help my son change plugs in his car and backed out once I looked under the hood.

So we think we've got it bad for changing spark plugs?
I just learned that on my daughters Toyota FRS/Subaru BRZ, you actually have to unbolt the engine and lift it to get at the spark plugs!!!!
(And FWIW, with the right jointed extensions, I was able to change the Tiger's plugs without too much trouble).
