Stupid Car Design

The kind of car I will not buy is the car that is stupidly put together. So before I even test drive it or look at its body, I pop the hood and inspect the engine. Cars that have hard to locate or to get to parts I would not recommend buying. For example any car where I cannot locate its spark plugs easily is a poorly designed car, if you hide the spark plugs under another car part you have fucked up the design. If I have to cut my knuckles or use a mirror to change a common part, you fucked up the design. If I have to almost remove a tire to change an oil filter, this too is a stupid design.

The main parts I want to be able to get to easily and change are:

Oil filter

Oil pan

Oil cap

Radiator cap

Radiator drain

Spark plugs

Spark plug wires

Air filter

Brak fluid reseviour

Power steering reseviour

I don't think this is asking too much. I have seen cars that let you easily get to these parts. Then there are cars that stupidly fail:

1995 VW Jetta - engine block is held up by its starter motor... stupid idea.

2000 Chevy Lumina - 3 of the spark plugs are almost impossible to get to, you need a mirror to change the plugs and you need to be on top of the engine to do it. You will cut your hands easily.

You need to blindly insert the plugs, this is nerve racking.

Changing the oil on this car is fairly easy, but the oil spills all over the goddamn chassi, as the oil filter is located just above a frame bar. Good job retards.

1997 Murcury (Ford) Grand Marquis - to change the starter on this car you are requires to have child hands and to be a contortionist. It was very very hard to do, it was located deep inside the chassi and had to be done under neath the car. Changing the oil filter required moving the wheel all the way to the right (or was it left?). Its a ford, of course it sucked.

199x Ford Focus LX - fuck this car. Such a small car requires such a giant crappy 4 cylinder engine? Changing the serpentine belt was a mission and nearly impossible. It required dissassembling the goddamn mud gaurd at the bottom of the car. No room for adult male hands to do this. No easy way to relax the belt tensioner! Fuck ford.

1997 Kia Sportage 4 cylinder - changing the belts on this car is not so simple, you need to get under the car to loosen a tensioner. You need to remove nearly the entire air intake system in order to change the spark plugs. The car is flimsy in every sense of the word. The lock cylinders suck, you can force them open. The door handles might as well be made of paper mache.
