depends on the car either way is my opinion. For example my 86 jetta, you can remove the engine/tranny combo in less time than it takes to pull the manual transmission from a 123 MB. 3 mounts and the whole thing is out.

Plus Im a big fan of Macpherson struts, I love cars that have them. Couple bolts and the whole thing is out to play with on a table, can't get better than that

I've been very impressed with the old jettas. I helped my roomate change his transmission in the driveway, took around 2 hours

A modern FWD isn't quite that simple, from what I've seen
