I went test-driving with a friend last week. Most cars (expensive over-engineered crap aside) do in fact have dipsticks. If anything, changing the oil in some cars is easier than it was years ago.

I liked how the FR-S/BRZ had the oil filter with the threads facing down, surrounded by a little lip so you could unscrew it a bit, let the oil run back down into the engine, bag it up, then finish unscrewing. No oily mess.
