Ok to tow as long as all 4 wheels are on the ground.

Default towing guidelines

Hi,
In the user manual for my 2001 WRX UK300, Subaru recommend that when towing a four wheel drive impreza -
-car should only be towed for short distance of 5 miles or less
-gearbox and diff oils should be upto correct levels
-engine should be running if possible

Having the engine idling whilst being towed will also help with the power assisted brakes otherwise the brake pedal will be heavy and the brakes will be very weak.

hope this helps
Ant
