Unhappy Is this the worst car ever designed to work on?

Well I think its likely to be goodbye Legacy, hello scrapyard. Have had enough of my rash purchase which let me down after only 2000 miles.Its a 97 2.5 Outback.
Became a 3 cylinder runner and found back drivers side plug seemingly not working. After hours of impersonating a gymnast I have had to give up trying to remove it.It won't come out and even worse my plug socket is now stuck on the plug and I have no skin on my knuckles.
What a stupid clearance to get at this plug. reckon it has been left for years because of the difficulty.Am passing it to local garage to see if it can be saved, but they say if its seized it would be head off etc
No wonder the past owner was now driving a diesel Disco.
Although great to drive when all is well, its a nightmare to service or repair.
Great shame.

Its like the Albert Hall for room on Legacy's compared to Impreza's, you can even remove & replace the heads in situ on Legacy's.
