Octavia - but which model?

The Skoda press cars arrived in Perth yesterday and I'm picking the Octavia up tomorrow. They are usually spect up, but all I know is that it's a diesel. The only ones I have seen in the flesh were the ones used as tyre cars on course during Rally Australia about 4 years ago. They looked quite nice then and they must have made improvements since. Some pics and a report may be here in a week or so.

Not even a mention of the 4X4. I should have asked when the next shipment was due in. Apparently all the cars at the Motor Show were overseas spec, so they may not have got the 4X4 through ADR certification yet? I would go for 4X4 except I prefer DSG (apparently a lot of people asking about the RS want DSG). I'd think about chipping the 103 but you can't add the DPF

I believe the next shipment is in March. If i missed the RS Wagon in blue that i am getting I would have to have waited till March/April. There where only 400 cars bought in on the first run. Supposively the TD RS will be here mid next year.

Took delivery on Tuesday last and am absolutely stoked in the build quality and finish,just sold a 05 1.9tdi Golf,,,2 clutches ,new flywheel in 12 months.
The Skoda wagon is powered superbly with 2litre diesel,,but will still chip it just not sure which company to go for,,their are so many now doing after market upgrades. Would appreciate any experiences out there that people have had with VWs etc.
