2011 VRS Wagon | 4WD?
I'm about to take delivery of my first Skoda, a 2011 VRS Wagon but I'm confused after Googling its drivetrain specs; gumtree reports 4WD, other review sites say front-wheel-drive, current owner says front-wheel-drive. I assume it's front-wheel-drive but I'm not 100% sure.

Drive says 4WD : 20010-2014 Skoda Octavia RS147 used car review

Not sure where they get that from. I'm sure it's only the mk3 that has 4wd in Europe and it's only the diesel at that.

My new steed is a humble front-driver then.
It's on a truck somewhere in QLD en route to Tas. ETA your-guess-is-as-good-as-mine

As a former owner of a similar vehicle, it is front wheel drive. After 6 years with only an aerial problem, sorry to see it go. Was getting too low to get in & out off. Enjoy. Mine went well during a trip to Tasmania some years ago.
