I believe it is too much strain on the engine, too many reeves.

Wow.... On a subaru you can disengage the AWD by pulling a fuse, however I believe it disables only the rear. (can't remember off the top of my head) and even doing so will not allow you to "drift" "drifting" is done on sticky pavement with slicks, an AWD car doesn't drift. It does during rally competitions slide through corners because of loose gravel, soil, mud, snow, ice, etc etc etc. As to the main reason WHY you can't drift an AWD car, its because the strain on the driveline would be incredible. You have power going to all 4 wheels on the Subaru, sliding around on this would cause axels to snap, the energy would also shear gears and destroy the rear end. Its simply stupid.

Like hinshawwrx said.. it will destroy most of the drivetrain.. I have an STI, and I've gotten sideways in it.. but that's because I have it set up to send 65% of the power to the rear tires, and when I first got it I kept downshifting during turns and give it gas... that would just bring the rear end around, I'm surprised I'm alive. So yes.. an Impreza can slide the rear end for a little time.. but you do a bunch of damage, and I don't think the 2.0 version can do it unless the roads are really slippery. ...Just don't do it, you'll screw up everything.
