You must remove the air filter housing to remove the battery with reliability. Other models will not include this tedious step.
Some things are easier on the 2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser Touring. Changing the engine air filter is no problem, as you only have to disengage a few fasteners for access to it. Checking the transmission fluid level is easy, as the dipstick is easily accessible in the engine bay. Both the front and rear wiper blades are easy to change without the use of tools.
