We'll see if I get any flack over this, but I don't think you need a torque wrench for the spark plugs. Just get them reasonably tight, but not too tight, since I believe the cars have an aluminum head. If you want to start doing maintenance, you'll have other uses for a torque wrench and may want to consider buying one. The plugs are very easy to get to, just unscrew the DI Cassette, lift it up, and there they are. Since you have a turbo, you don't have a distributor or a rotor. Flushing the coolant isn't hard, either. Disconnect the radiator hoses, drain the coolant, and flush it out with a garden hose. There's lots of information on the BB about it, too. I haven't tried to replace the fuel filter yet. Other than that, the 65,000 mile service just involves changing the oil and filter, the air filter (very easy) and inspecting belts and hoses.
