Spare tire..?

I have a quick question, I've never looked, but I know there is a spare tire for my car...but is it a doughnut or do SVX's have the tire that matches the original four...

this may be a terribly idiotic question, but please respond!

There isn't room in the well for a full-sized spare.

will running the donut on the rear cause differential problems later on? I always wondered about that

The spare is for emergency use only, no matter where it's mounted.

I have a hard time believeing that Subaru would equip a car with a spare of a size that in normal, limited use could damage the drivetrain.

I agree because if they did then they would be liable for any damages caused by it
