Hi All. I'm seriously considering purchasing an Emira and was curious how manageable it is to do your own maintenance on these cars. I'm coming from a Subaru BRZ that I've had for years and that I've enjoyed doing basic driveway maintenance on. Are oil changes, brake pad changes and brake fluid flushes particularly challenging on an Emira? Thanks in advance for your advice.

No. Biggest task is removing/replacing the undertray. Not difficult, just time-consuming. Brakes are no more difficult than any other car.

I agree. Nice to raise up the car to allow more room to work below it and like others, I purchased a power tool to speed up removal of the 40+ under tray bolts. You’re dealing with a Toyota engine with the V6 so oil/filter changes are easy once the tray is off. Check other threads for DIY advice on oil/filter changes.
