When did cylinders start having individual coils? My wife's '07 Subie developed a misfiring problem, and time was tight, so I had the local shop deal with it. They diagnosed a bad coil, and ended up replacing the coil unit (containing all four, claiming that their experience was that when one went, the others were likely to follow) and the plugs, for about $500. Good grief! I've had plenty of cars with just a plain ol' coil and a distributor, and if the coil started to go you usually go plenty of warning, and you could just check the color of the spark.
