I've had this car through rivers, up hills (in scotland), fields, runways, pot hole-ridden tracks. and it performs remarkably!
Turn the ESP off and the Allroad becomes a remarkably fun car to drive. It'll return the sensation of full control to the driver at the touch of a button.
The 2.5 TDI version is without a doubt the one to get, I can get around 30mpg on rural roads, increasing to 33mpg on main roads and motorways cruising at reasonably high speeds. Fuel efficiency is litterally thrown out of the window when the engine size is increased - giving not too much extra performance.
The back seats fold down, allowing you to fit just about anything in the boot - I've had desks, whiteboards, furniture and much more in it with ease.
If you want a car to explore the countryside, and not have to worry about getting stuck or breaking down - this is definetly the car for you.
The 2nd hand market lacks allroads unfortunately, so they tend to keep their value very well - at around 80,000 miles the allroad will require some expensive parts to keep it going - don't buy if it has 70,000 miles and has not has a timing belt change!!
Ask to see a full demonstration on the ride height adjustment just to make sure it works (that can also be an expensive repair), which unfortunately is nessesary because it works with the suspension.
A vibrating accelerator/brake pedals could indicate a broken fly wheel - this happened at 90,000 miles with me and costed £1000 to repair.

Advantages: looks great,runs very well on and off road Disadvantages: rubbery interior
this is a wonderful piece of engineering in terms of fantastic handling, great smooth looks and nippy to boot.
all of this encapsulated in a 4 x 4. allthough this car is not exactly a hummer or equivalant it well exceeds the domestic 4x4 owners needs.
we tried it out on the road and it comes accross as a smooth city car but when you take it to the country , well that is a different story alltogether. (its a beast) farmers beware.it handled extremely ...
