Who decided to put the battery here on my '94 GP SE?
Windshield washer fluid reservoir:

What's that hiding under there?

All this just to get to the battery?

What's this? The ECM sitting over on the otherside all by itself? I'd just think it would have made more sence to switch these two around for easier access to the battery.

Space Invaders Champion!If I remember right, they put it under the passenger seat on like the olds aurora or intrigue for a while. Mercedes also did this one
Probably for better weight distribution, but ughhhhhhhhhh what a pain in the ass

The battery in my bonneville is under the rear seat inside of the car. I'm sure that'll be fun to replace someday.

How is that so hard to access?A few bolts, move it out of the way, you're at the battery (Not arguing that it's the smartest design ever, but it isn't hard at all)

My parents needed a battery in the 94 CS sedan. The shop removed the tire... I told them never go to that shop again.

The seat just pops up, no bolts, nothing. Crazy easy to get to.

I wouldn't say that it'd hard to get to the battery, just a WTF pain in the ass type thing.
