Default Octavia 4x4

Hello, everyone.

I have found this site really useful for gathering information about my potential next purchase. When I first heard about the new deisel 4x4 coming out. I decided that was the car for me.

Finally seen one in the flesh at Woodheads, Blackpool. Now just waiting to actually take one for a test drive.

Welcome.I reckon a few more people will take the 4x4 route with the latest octavia.Seems it was a pretty rare (but good) purchase in current guise.A few people have the last one but not too many.

Don't know if they still do 24 hr test drives or if that promotion has stopped

Yes I had hoped, but that is only available on Fabia now

The petrol-engined New Octavia 4X4 comes with 15" wheels which look more than a bit small on a relatively large car. I would opt for larger weels if these are an option. And welcome to Briskoda from an 'old' 4X4 owner.
