Having just made deep price cuts of up to 56% on 200 part numbers, Subaru has now launched a three years' free servicing offer, along with 0% finance on the Impreza 2.0 GX.

The free service offer covers the new Legacy 2.0i and 2.5i saloon and Sports Tourer, and the Impreza WRX and all non-turbo Forester 2.0 X models.

The offer covers parts and labour for the first three major services listed in the Subaru Owner's Service and Warranty booklet are free of charge - including labour.

Running costs have become an important issue for Subaru following a poor rating under this heading in the latest Auto Express reader survey, and the absence of a diesel model in an increasingly diesel-orientated fleet market to which Subaru is pointing the Legacy range.
