The Porsche. Boxster is the most extreme example of this.
My understanding is that you have to lift the entire body off to change the spark plugs..
My C6 is an example of extremely easy serviceability. Everything is easy.
Easiest car to work on I have ever owned. No joke.

Typical friggin' moron engineer's attitude for explaining their sh!tty designs...
"Outhouse' mechanic's hands and range of motion and flexibility is the same as a factory mechanic...
Boxter-- meh... if you've got money to waste on that POS, well, you can $2 grand for a friggin tuneup... a fool and their money are soon parted.
Meh, I don't like the new vehicles period. Too much BS... all show, no go... "all hat and no cows". I'm keeping my 15 year old (newest) vehicles and just fixing them as I need to... and I think my next farm truck will probably be an early-mid 90's diesel...
Later! OL J R
