No, it's a horrible decision.Â* Batteries here rarely last 5 years due to the harsh winters.Â* Having to remove a wheel to even examine a battery for its condition is absolute stupidity.Â* I see why you admire it. I can think of a half dozen people who are glad my Ford F-150 doesn't require removing the wheel for access to the battery. Those half dozen people are also glad I carry jumper cables to jump start their cars. Making machines easy to service is a smart design decision, and not always mutually exclusive with making machines optimum for everyday use. (OTOH, I replaced my original equipment truck battery at eight years here in southwest Indiana!) -- Ken Hart |
