AWD in the wet isn't just for getting going. With a manual it's the best set of gentle brakes you can find, and your foot never even leaves the pedal.

It also really shines in lane changes during snow- when there's a ridge in the middle of the lane and another one between the lanes. When both wheels on one side are in that muck you've still got two drive wheels on pavement.

My 05 Legacy was limping badly by the time it went away, but the only parts on it at the time that hadn't been on it when it left the factory were the tires and spark plugs.
