I am in the market for a new small car and am looking at either Honda (Fit or Civic) or Toyota (Corolla). I can do a lot of basic repairs and maintenance. I am wondering which one is easiest to work on in terms of the following:
transmission fluid change
brakes
cv joint axle replacement
spark plug change
distributor cap replacement
water pump
timing belt replacement
fuel filter change
thanks
Toyota or Honda. Which one is easiest to work on?
Both are great cars and maintenance is about the same
Toyota or Honda. Which one is easiest to work on?
About Transmission fluid change just go under the car and release the nut ... its easy for all
brakes : all cars is the same
Spark plugs : may be honda as it doesn't cover the engine with huge plastics .
distributor cap replacement : the same
water pump: Honda
timing belt replacement : the same
fuel filter change: The same
I would go with the Toyota. WHen the Honda timing belt brakes, the engine can bend valves. In the Toyota, most do NOT. Brake masters in Honda's can require a contortionist. Neither car has a distributor cap. Spark plugs only need replacement at 100,000 mile intervals. Use ONLY ELF or Mobil One oil in either car!!! Use only %26quot;top tier%26quot; fuels!!
Honda hands down on all subjects.
