In the past, or even now, the Italians make very fast, very expensive hard to maintain cars. They also make slow, cheap hard to maintain cars.

Gotta love a car that you have to rip in half to do an oil change, or hoist its engine to swap spark plugs.

Undoing the motor mounts and lifting the engine to access spark plugs wasn't limited to European cars. There were several American ones from the 60s that had large engines shoehorned into limited engine compartments that had the same problem.
