I would say an Octavia vRS would be a good option.
Huge boot space and you get the GTI running gear

Thanks guys, I appreciate the support as always

I have been eyeing off the JK Wrangler since it came to OZ for years now and have been lurking on various forums sussing them out that whole time. And you are correct in everything that has been raised lol!

If Nat liked another Jeep i would say no as all the new models are having various issues just like the JK when it hit our shores. But luckily the JK has had nearly all its bugs sorted now. Such as thirsty old V6 now replaced with the Pentastar. The CRD now has a DPF and silicone turbo pipes. Better matched diff gearing. There's still overheating issues in sand with the auto CRD but I want the manual. The suspension has been sorted and the spring rates revised for a nicer ride now. Yes I've test driven 3 different releases over the years and they were awful

And the new interior is actually quite nice for what is a real out of the box offroader... and that's my final point actually. We intend on touring, camping and exploring over the next few years and the Jeep is actually the best bang for buck when you start looking at options that put many other 4wds to shame off road. Also looking at the Defenders actually but the turbo diesel is a little thirsty compared to the Jeep.

So we're not 100% if we go the petrol or diesel so we are off to do some back to back test driving this Saturday to see which one Nat feels more comfy in. Personally I want the the turbo diesel for obvious reasons cough, cough (tune, exhaust blah, blah you know how that story ends

)

Too true Jimmy, would you mind deleting those posts about the Jeep?

And can you please let me know a good time to come and see you to get a safety inspection done because the Little Red Devil is going to a new home and this thread will continue in all its glory
