Hello Forum...after viewing responses to my "all wheel reverse" question (below), I thought I'd drop in one gripe that maybe Subaru might pick up on if they're really marketing this baby for off road capability. My 2002 Impreza Outback wasn't two weeks old when I bashed the corner on the bottom of the front bumper on bank while making a tight turn. Since then, I've had maybe a half dozen hits all over the bottom of that thing. I think the front end plastic is way too low, or way too far forward for even the mild off roading I do. Hello Subaru, do you copy?

I think this is the answer, thanks...and now I remember the feeling of being decieved when, after I bought the car (new), I discovered that the transfer setup was only 10% for automatic, while much more for manual transmission...10% transfer, this is all wheel drive? Thanks to all who wrote in, and glad that a couple of others were able to piggyback their own questions...

I pulled down a rutted track with my 2002 Impreza Outback automatic to do some fishing. As I was backing out at the end of the afternoon, one wheel began to spin on a rock on the path (front passenger, I think). I waited for the other wheels to kick in and pull me along, but no-go. I stepped on the gas and the wheels spun faster--to the point of smelling rubber. At that point, I did the old two wheel thing--pulled forward, did a little run backward, and out we came. So...doesn't all wheel drive function in reverse?????
