I find most Japanese cars relatively easy to work on. It's VWs that drive me nuts, requiring exhaust manifolds to be removed to access spark plugs, and that held on with security torx bolts, requiring a special tool.

Computers make things easier because you can pull a code and then google it. Carbs are certainly way more work than FI, especially considering I've never had to do any FI work on any vehicle. I suppose direct FI has its own problems, but I don't own anything that fancy.
