The increasing difficulty of working on cars is a good point. I know there are cars where the owner cannot pop the hood and where there is not a dipstick, although when I heard of a car that required removal of the engine to replace the spark plugs, that was an old car.

Buyers demand more each year, but car manufacturers have new gimmicks each year, always trying to have features that their competitors do not, but also that your year-old car doesn't.
