Just wait till you change your spark plugs.

Correct. But a blanket statement that it's easy to work on isn't. But there is definitely a lot of thought put into bolt placement and stuff like that. Here is an example:  That hose curves out for no reason other than to give a clear shot to the bolt bellow. |

'81 Rabbit. Volvo 240. Those were/are kind of easy. Rust makes all things difficult. So far, my FR-S has been very easy to work on for me... since it's under warranty, I've had the dealership do everything. Very easy. We'll see how easy it is once the warranty runs out..

 Hardest was my 64 Econoline with the 351 crammed into the doghouse between the seats. Took 45 minutes of pulling panels just to put oil in it.  Closer to relent was my Corvair which was really really easy to do things such as change the belts but involved pulling half the car apart to do any other work at all. Nothing quite like having to remove the spare tire so you can change a sparkplug.

Attention to design for serviceability waxes and wanes. The 80s were especially dark times.
Especially considering the complexity, this thing was packaged amazingly. Sometimes I just lie there and marvel at how beautifully it's laid out.
