If it was mine maybe, and the Gen 4 auto might be set up a little differently to yours morgs,

You don't know how to drive. I mean, look at your car. You have a dent (the size of Mongolia) Clearly, you don't know how to drive!

I don't see how an auto gen4 would handle differently than the manual variant. The only difference would be how the power is delivered to the wheels due to the different gear ratios and being able to select higher gears through the corners in a manual. I'd say what you are experiencing is what I will call "no distraction driving". You're in a auto and don't have to worry about clutch control, changing gears e.t.c., giving you more time to focus on the only thing that it mildly entertaining in an auto Lib, steering.

It could be a bit of that, But it think it delivers the power where it needs it (or something like that) and not just 50/50 all the time, Therefore it might have more grip?

Incorrect.

Manuals have a 50/50 split to the front and back wheels. = more grip
Autos have something like 20/80 split (20 to the back, 80 to the front). = less grip and much understeer.
Extra drive will be delivered to individual wheels "if" they lose traction.

As for AUTO Subaru's, damn straight, they are a 90:10 split until loss of traction, evil ass understeer.

WTF.

Arlo Weiner (lol)

This little poof just had a TV interview.

He could barely construct a sentence.

8 yo old, and apparently, a fashion guru that writes articles for GQ Magazine, and LA Times.

What's the world come to?

I'm no homophobe, but a quick backhand upside the head is what I would have got if I was taking an interest in fashion as a kid...
