This is just for my own curiosity but I was wondering how much more difficult is it to work on the V6 engine versus the Beta. Ive never really looked at the V6 in all that detail, other than in pictures (dont know anyone who has the V6), but I know with the beta, its extremely easy to work on and do maintenance stuff since all the plugs, wires, and everything else is right there at the top. I have done some work on V6s and V8s in the past and they were a nightmare to do the regular maintenance type stuff on because either the intake was in the way or exhaust manifolds had to come off for things, and so on.
Is the V6 pretty easy like the betas or is it a bit more complicated to do normal stuff?

^ the first thing that came to mind were the enhanced difficulty of spark plugs.
I would think i4 in an engine bay designed to hold a v6 would be much more maintenance friendly
