What is the difference in the drivetrain between manual and automatic? Is it true that manual is better in deep snow or mud?

@TheAnabolicMutation Again, apples to oranges. And in no way was I being arrogant. If you see a harmless comment as arrogant, then that's just kind of sad.
And if you think your Lexus can dust me; sadly, you're mistaken.

@TheAnabolicMutation That just comes off as ignorant, no? It's all to do with taste.... And a couple hundred bucks to get the car painted.
Why do people never think is beyond me.

@TheJoePepper same here! i love my '02 H6-3.0 but it would be aweseome to have it manual.
-
@Matty231 Haha thanks for the advice. Yes VDC should be on in that situation. It took Subaru a few years to catch up and put one of these systems in place, but it's a great addition.

@Streetracingpunk72 Thanks for the info. I have found that viscous couplings are inferior to torsen differentials, which they happen to exclude in that video. I wish Subaru would make a manual H6 Outback! :)

@TheJoePepper Hey hey hey don't go buying an audi... it's because the VDC is off so it doesn't brake the wheels. When it's on it brakes them like me Outback (mines a 2001) and it's VDC is great, it brakes the wheels very well and I can easily manuveur over obstacles as if it had LSD's / lockers on both axles.

@TheJoePepper The systems are different on the manual transmissions. If you don't buy a manual Outback, you might as well not even own one. What's great about Subaru, is they use a viscous coupling. One wheel can pull the entire weight of the car up an incline. Here is a good video. The Subaru's are automatic, for comparison reasons, but the manuals are better than the automatics, so bare in mind. /watch?v=ooQRxlChvMw

Wow, that is really interesting to see the weird performance of the tow car, with the rear wheel spinning that much. I thought there was a system that braked the wheels that spin so the traction goes to the other side. I am seriously rethinking my purchase of an Outback. Good news for Audi I guess.
All is simple, the VCD has been OFF !!!
