I have a Octavia 4×4,Older style Haldex 4×4 system,Very good car,Haldex keeps the car front wheel drive and then puts power to the rear wheels if the front starts to slip,or if you smack the throttle pedal to the floor.
Been out in mine and passed all sorts of cars on the slippery icy stuff we have had recently,The look of suprise on some peoples faces when a Skoda passes them,whilst they are there spinning there BMW,Ford,Vauxhall etc makes me laugh.
Will be having a Audi Quatro next of another Octavia 4×4
