Anyone seen a 4x4 in the metal?  Looking for confirmation that the rear seat and boot are identical to the front wheel drive estate.

 

I remember when I bought my current (MkIII 4x4) it was identical to the other Octavias, but the Passat at the time had a slightly higher boot floor.

We've got a dilema; I've just sat in a normal Octavia estate in a showroom, and its fine.  But a couple of weeks ago my wife sat in one with me, and the rear seat seemed very cramped.  I'm wondering if that car was a 4x4 or an iV....  Trying to work out what's going on before committing to purchase.

 

Many thanks!

Cramped in a rear seat in a unless the person in front is 6 foot plus or she is well over 6 foot .there is no way rear seat passengers are cramped in this car.it is well known the amount of space these cars have.
