1,3,5 (odd) chambers are near the fire wall.
2,4,6 (even) are at the front of the vehicle (radiator/oil filter side)

#1 is at the front of the engine [engine being transverse mounted ... the #1 will be closest to the front passenger]

Based on what you are dealing with, #3 is the hardest to get to [You have to work on it by feel], the #2 is the easiest of them all. If you are near or over 110k miles, I would replace the plugs [my suggestion ... get OEM only]. Coil-packs have a tendency to fail above 90k.

Your cup is half full/empty.

Honestly, it is not too bad. If you have the spark plug socket with the rubber boot to hold the plug and the right size extension rod, it can be done with ease. You can forget torquing the plugs to spec.
