Have you actually drove them though? You drive one long enough you learn that you don't have to drop the clutch to get decent performance. You don't need the absolute best launch on the street.

The problem with the AWD is that it grips too much hence the shock to the drive line plus it was under engineered to cope with the stress.

But then again when they were first introduced, I don't think Subaru were building them with respect to hoons picking them up second hand a few years later and dropping the clutch everywhere they go. Nor driving them through shopfronts either :
