how to identify FWD and AWD?

Oct 14, 2003 4 Replies

hi,



i'm looking at a 1.5L Jap-Import Impreza, how do i know for sure it is a AWD, not FWD?



which part of the VIN gives away this detail? failing that, how do i physically check it?



thanks



will.


Physically just look underneath for a driveshaft to the rear or easier yet from the rear look for a center differential. TG

Are you sure, my Auto Forester doesn't have a center diff, only the manuals.

I'm sorry, I meant rear differential. TG
