It can be either way, if car is variomatic (automatic), then there are belts, but if it is 4 or 5 speed, then there is propshaft, however if engine is 2ltr then there are torquetube and not so traditional propshaft that runs inside of that torque tube.

So few choices, but pretty easy to know which one it will be, hope this helps :)

Also note that even the variomatic has a propshaft, because the (belt-driven) gearbox is in the back of the car.

In this forum, there is technical section, there you can find green books which are really great, not same as haynes, but they have more information.
