If we are talking about access to perform your own maintenance then I want to add the terrible location of the oil pan drain plug. Mine is right above the front axle meaning I have to balance the waste oil tray on the axle while draining the old oil.
I always manage to spill a cup or so on my driveway every year. I do place a tarp under the engine to prevent a mess but what a pain!
I surrendered to that battle after my first try. I let the oil cascade off the axle into the drain pan, then wipe it all down with paper towels when the job is done. Hey, at least that section of the axle will never rust!
