Are there different types of Subaru Justy?

What is the difference between a 'twin cam' and an ordinary Subaru Justy? I am thinking of buying a 2009 model in Waterford, but I think the private seller is asking way too much. I missed one from a SIMI dealer a few days ago - same year and mileage (only 18,000 miles) - which was sold for €5,950 - supposedly not a twin cam.

I would appreciate any information you can provide on this type of vehicle.

Do I need to service my Opel this often?

Hi, I drive a 2012 Opel Astra 1.7 CDTi diesel and just wondering how often it has to be serviced. My local Opel dealer says every 10,000km and just wondering is this correct or is it just to get more money! It was serviced last February and now 10,000km later do I need to get it serviced again?
