Man, I remember the last 30° or so of trampoline spring attachment being an absolute pain when we had one. I wore work gloves to keep my hands from getting pinched and just reefed back with all my body weight to even hope to get them to link back when I was a teen with impatient younger siblings.

Any issues with the Subie? I've pondered getting an old Legacy, but I've also heard horror stories about older flat-4s and their wear-and-tear patterns.
