When I saw that it required lifting the engine, I thought, oh wow that'll be a pain.

If the oil changes were a PITA I could see the point. The Civic Si for example requires you to remove the front wheel to change your oil. That did really turn me off of that car. But spark plugs are just not something you change often enough for me to see it as a problem at all, especially when you look at how easy and clean everything is in the engine bay. It won't be a problem at all. Any mechanic will tell you, Subarus are very easy cars to work on except for the spark plugs.
