On MANUAL xmission Subaru's, the AWD system is different. It is my understanding, the center differential for AUTOMATIC xMission is electronically controlled while the MANUAL uses a viscous coupling.

Hello folks, I'm looking to purchase a new '18 Crosstrek in the fall, however, for the first time in my life I'm actually having trouble deciding on whether to buy it with the new CVT or the traditional manual?!!. I have a cvt Impreza hatch, it defaults to a 60/40 split, front biased. The manuals have a 50/50 split viscous coupling. The cvt is great in the snow if that is what you are looking for, there is pretty much zero slip when accelerating from a stop. In my opinion, winter tires are more important.
