As a former professional installer who has worked on almost everything save for exotics.

GM - never goes back together the way it came apart, they used self tapping screwws forever to take into acount misaligned door sills right at the factory.

Older European Cars - Glued down carpets that had to be steamed or they would wreck coming out. So many hidden crap, what pro installer hasn't broke the dead pedal on a VW the first time they did one?

Ford - Not bad, one of the first American companies to use the 'hook' method of lifting off doorpanels which was nice, instead of the christmas trees. Generally easy to work on.

Chrysler - interior build quality is what convinced me to buy the SX 2.0, way ahead of the Cavaliers etc. Very easy to work on.

Toyota, Nissan - Two of my favorite cars to work on, very well thought out, nothing that makes you think, "what were they thinking?"

Honda - Pretty easy to work on, but seems to have more fasteners than needed, nice thing is they are all installed perfect, none are ever over torqued or too hard to get to.

 

^ lol - the overtorqued comment. Like the psycho bastard at Toyota with the impact gun putting in the radio bracket bolts and side screws. dayum they can be hard to get out.. [img]graemlins/freak.gif[/img]

...well at least the stock deck will never fall out inadvertantly [img]tongue.gif[/img]

 

Yup, and the bolts are are made of the softest metal known to mankind as well. I laugh when I see a newbie installer using the philips on them instead of grabbing a socket!
