Hadn't heard about the manual/auto difference, that's pretty major.
I believe the '99-2001 2.2's were interference engines, they introduced some changes that year.
Not quite true. There are actually three different AWD system, because the H6 has its own. The CVT is often quoted at 80/20, but is actually variable, and does NOT require wheel slip before the torque split changes. Mainly, it changes based on predictive input such as hard acceleration and hills. Other brands, such as Honda CRV, require wheel slip before sending torque to the rear wheels.
