yeah and then you start snapping driveshafts plus awd handles better. why didnt you buy a mustang or camaro if you wanted rwd? when was the last time you saw a mustand or corvette doing twisties or going to the snow.

Subarus can be converted to RWD but be prepared for an ill-handling car unless other changes are made. If fuel economy is a major concern, a turbocharged Subaru is the wrong car for you. The static compression ratio is too low for the engine to operate efficiently under light load conditions.
