From a strict standpoint of Subaru's explanation of what "symmetrical" means, BMW's xDrive system is also Symmetrical (except in newer X1/X2 that are FWD based off the Mini platform.) That term is pure marketing, and the claim that it is "better" because of it is pure claptrap.

Subaru has a good reputation because they're well-build, generally last a long time, have a cult following in snow states. But except for the WRX/STI are not particularly high performance (along with the BRZ).
