From recent comments, I wouldn't be surprised if this was Motorpoint.

If the car is from Cyprus or Malta, then it's a non EU car, and you won't get the same warranty. In that case I suppose it could be considered as a grey import, in which case Subaru dealers can't touch it.

If the car was sold to you on the basis that it was an EU car (nothing to do with the spec) then your dealer is at fault, and you should take it up with him.

If you simply tried to save money by buying a UK spec import, regardless of it's origin, then I'm afraid there's probably very little you can do.

Trading Standards maybe?

All IMHO of course.
