That's good to know mate, thank you, I'm handy with a set of spanners and there's not much I haven't done on my Hondas so hopefully the transition should be too bad. I do dread doing the plugs though... Think that might be a job I palm off on a pro to save my knuckles!
Getting the urge to make the move sooner rather than later, just need to strip some bits on my civic and then I think I may be havjng a serious look round the for sale section hunting for a wagon. Need the Subaru sound in my life
