Subaru Forester

Pictured left you see a diagram of how the Subaru Symmetrical AWD works. Pictured right is a diagram of how the Honda "Real Time" 4WD works. Notice how symmetrical the flow of power is in the Subaru? The Honda has many right angles which makes it much more difficult to get the power to the wheels. Subaru symmetrical AWD is working on all 4 wheels all the time. The Honda only engages the rear wheels when it senses slipping in front.
