Yea, bleeding air out these cars suck. I recently bought an airlift device, which I have been itching to use. It creates a vacuum on the system and then sucks in all the new coolant.

I've bled the coolant on this car about three times and this is what I usually end up doing:

Takes about 1-2 hours - even with that spill free funnel.

Crank the engine a few times to 1K-2K then let it go with the cap off attached to the funnel. I do it for a few minutes with breaks in between. I squeeze the top and bottom radiator hoses to help get rid of bubbles and gauge how hot the hoses are. I then take the car out and floor the hell out of it and drive aggressively to get the air out, so I get hot air from the heater core. I haven't had any issues doing it this way.
