What is easiest American made car to change sparks plugs & other small maint.

Assume its a 4 cylinder at least?
I'm talking about today's modern car - like something in the 2000 or newer year.

I'm looking to buy a used one of this type - so I myself can do the minor work like change plugs.... sooooo...

What's the easiest 4 cyl "newer" cars to fix by a DIYer ?
Guess people can't read - I said AMerican made car - like NOT VW.

What is eassiest AMERICAN car?

Spark plugs can be changed on any car. The VW golf, and Jetta are good 4 cyl models. Of smarty do yourself a favor and get an older Jetta TDI, a turbo diesel doenst have spark plugs and that model gets around 50 mpg on the freeway. With rising gas prices TDI is the way to go.

Just abought any 4 banger Front wheel drive is easy to change spark plugs. V6 equiped cars are tough to change as you have to loosen the dogbones then push the car back thereby rolling the engine forwod a then sticking a 4 X 4 to prop it while changing the rear plugs. A FWD v-6 with a fore and aft engine like Dodge Intreped is much eaiser then the transverse mounted ones

newer or older?? the newer it is the harder they make it. In the 70/s 80/s, just about any 4 cyl was pretty easy. How about a chevy vega??
