AWD = All Wheel drive. Means just that - all wheels are driven by the engine.

there is an elliptical diff arrangement between front & rear giving a roughly 65% rear and 45% front split on the STI. I think the WRX is nearer 50/50 split.

The STI has a Ltd slip diff on the front, the WRX does not to my knowledge
