4WD drive cars available in Ireland

allroad

There are a few A4 and A6 Quattro's out there. I've had both - same 2.5 Tdi engine. There are also some 3ltr Quattro Tdi's (2004 on, I think).
Allroad comes in the same configuration, but switched to 3ltr in early 2006.

Skoda yeti, is about 30,000 for the 4x4 version. You'd probably be better off picking up a nearly new Legacy or Forester if your going to spend that kinda money.
Fiat don't list the 4x4 panda on their website

Remember also that not all AWD systems are created equal. This has been posted here before - it's in Swedish, but it makes the point well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=De0RstOO_iY

Yes indeed. Switchable by dial in the car. '2wd' for every day use, 'Auto' for mixed conditions (switches power between front and rear drive as needed) and then 'Lock' for permanent 4wd for really tricky stuff. The 1.6 dCi replaces the thirstier 4x4 2.0 dCi which we saw very few of in this country. Only downside I felt was the low(ish) braked towing capacity of 1400kgs. originally went in to look at Xtrail 2.0 dCi but just felt it much bigger and more expensive than needed.
Price was very reasonable too!

I think you're kinda missing the point with that list

Because it should be restricted to cars? Amended now, bearing in mind that the Forester and the CRV were included in the original list.
We got a bit carried away discussing it yesterday:D

Most of the older BMW and Mercedes saloon and estate cars are available as 4WD in LHD only.
