Thanks for your info. Any thoughts regarding relative dry weather performance/handling (off-the-line and passing acceleration, cornering)?

Hello. I'm attempting to select a new Outback or Legacy wagon and haven't been able to obtain information specific to the relevant efficacy of the four types of awd Subaru makes available. My preference is for a manual transmission, but the automatics, especially that included with the 6 cylinder engine, include what seem to be progressively more sophisticated awd approaches. Does anyone have experience with these? Or particular knowledge? Or suggested links to such information? The best handling in rain/snow/ice (with nominal compromise to performance) is what I'm looking for, if the differences are significant. Thanks.
