Do you recon they have changed the difficulty ratings from the 4 spanners they used to use?

And the list of possible tools you need to use?

you can pretty much take the subaru engine apart using 10, 12, 15, 17, and 19mm spanners/ sockets, the engine just looks more complicated than it actually is

Just a thought.

But do you think they log how many hits they get for particular cars each time you do a "search" on their site?

Perhaps if they get a lot of "Impreza" inquiries it may bring the issue of a manual forward a bit.
