At least you can get to the batteries! I had to jump a porsche boxter the
other day..... The battery was very dead. The battery is under the front
hatch (front trunk?)....but power is required to open that hatch. It can't
be done without power. So....you have to jump the fuse panel in a crazy way
just to get the hatch open, only then can you actually jump the car.
Who is incharge of battery placement on cars these days!?!?!?

At least on a vanagon....if you have a battery jump-pack, you can jump the
car in the rain without having to get out!
