Anyone can correct me if I'm wrong! but I do remember mines having a 2wd-4wd button to switch between the two drive modes! check it out when you go for the test drive. it was located on the left side of the shifter knob!
oh and here's some info I dug up for ya!


Vehicle Highlights

Subaru's faithful DL and GL sedans and wagons were called Loyale for 1990. The sedan and wagon came in a single price series with standard equipment that fell between that of the old DL and GL, while the 2-door coupe came only in sporty RS trim. Two engines were available: a 90-horsepower 1.8-liter flat 4 and a 115-horsepower turbocharged version of the flat 4. Both engines came standard with a 5-speed manual transmission; 3-speed automatic was an available option. Turbo models equipped with 4-wheel drive provided a 4-speed automatic in place of the 5-speed manual. The Loyale wagon and sedan were available with front-wheel drive or 4-wheel drive (4WD). Subaru provided a choice of either on-demand or permanently engaged 4WD.
