Last night, I did the aforementioned starter on our Subaru. It took 45 minutes end to end. It definitely feels like a much cheaper, more basic vehicle than the euros, but damn there's something to be said for cheap parts and easy access to simple systems.
I once changed a starter on a Jeep Grand Cherokee in a campground. Easy access is heavily under-rated.
