DIY tips
- 01
The 2.4L naturally aspirated (2013–2017) is the most DIY-accessible — the 1.5T turbo needs more care around oil change intervals.
- 02
V6 owners: watch for VTC actuator rattle on cold starts — address it before 100k to avoid expensive repairs.
- 03
Rear drum brakes on some trims are a cheap DIY — shoes cost around $30.
