Subject: Re: New Bosch Platinum Spark Plugs


Well, my friend put them in his Honda Civic. I don't know if there is much a difference since he drives like a maniac. I personally have not tried them, since I just replaced my plugs before hearing about the 4 prong. I don't know how much stock people put in consumer reports, but they have tested and recommended that the Bosch 4 prongs do help, but not a whole lot. And they are definitely not worth the price that it's listed at. You can believe it or not. As for me, I'll stay away.
