Mazda 6 Mps Constant AWD or NOT?

[kowalczyk]

Hey Guys this may sound like a noob question but i have a friend of mine that keeps trying to convince me that my mazda 6 mps is not a constant AWD, and that it is predominantly front wheel until traction is broken. Im slightly confused by this and believe he is completely wrong as i've seen a number of mps's dyno'd on all 4 wheels but wanted to make sure, before i make a fool out of myself??

It is constant, or Active Torque Split in Mazda-speak.

Have a look at this video
