weight distribution and some handling questions...

Anyone know the exact weight distribution of the SVX (AWD)?

Also my gf has a 93 impreza awd and I was wondering if anyone knows what's the AWD setup and if this car feels somewhat like the SVX? Several sites have listed the SVX awd as understeering moderately at the limit. Many other sites say all Subi's are notorius for severe understeer...

Basically I'm wondering whether the SVX will feel like my GFs impreza with a few extra pounds or whether it will be a fun car to drive around. I'm in the market for a car and I'm considering a few different rwd cars (one is mid-engined) and an svx...obviously in the dry all the rwd cars are probably going to be a little more fun, but it snows pretty heavy sometimes and I'd like to avoid true winter tires because they cost too much and wear out fast (esp on the highway which is where I will be driving quite a bit).

I haven't looked around this site a whole lot, but are there any reviews like this one on mr2oc? http://www.mr2oc.com/showthread.php?t=186938 (I think you need to register to actually view it, but it's just a comparo with a lot of different cars including the SVX)
