I'm on my fourth one, but I've not kept them that long. Only issue I've had was created by me reversing in long grass and the cable for the sensor on the exhaust system getting snagged. Clearance isn't great on forest tracks, but if you take your time you can get to most places.
I've previously had Golfs, so clearly this kind of car works for me.
Have fun.
thanks for the reply, do you find the 4 wheel drive handy to have also what are they like on fuel

I'm pretty sure the Octavia is built on the Gold Platform and the Suberb on the A4 platform.
Have had a couple of Octavia in the past (not 4x4's) and were good cars. Currently looking at an Octavia as a replacement company car, with the option of the "rough road" pack, which provides slightly raise clearance and add underbody protection.
We had a 57 plate Scout from new. Very close spec to an A4 Allroad, but 50% of the price. Did several ski trips to the Alps and bad winters in the UK before we got rid and never had an ounce of trouble. Think it was 60K miles and 3.5 years ownership on that one. Liked the higher ground clearance over the standard 4x4 estate.
The ONLY reason it went was that it was the wife's car and she wanted an auto box, but VAG wouldn't let Skoda sell them with the 170bhp diesel, an auto box and 4WD....would have killed Audi sales for all but the badge snobs
