its not really a lapse in engineering, it just happens to be the size of the engine bay + the boxer layout just doesnt make it as straightforward as other engines. Make the car wider, get easier access...change the engine configuration to an i4 or a V6, it'll be easier.

But then again i guess they could have put some sort of access panel in the wheel well or something (if its even possible without compromising the structure....)
