Enjoying my new Alltrack

[davo]

Two weeks since we picked up our Alltrack and I've finally had a chance to take it for a long country drive, including some nice gravel roads in the Mt Disappointment State Forest. Here's the result:



It's a really fun car to drive and handled the gravel and twisty mountain roads really well.

Great photos. Have a brown one too. Really liking it. Am yet to manage a long drive. Looking forward to get some proper dirt on it!

Great looking photos! You're pretty handy with a camera. I've had mine for just over a month now and have taken it on 2 trips of about 5 hours round trip each. Fantastic car on the highway, so smooth with plenty of punch for overtaking. Not to turn this into another fuel consumption thread but I'm still getting an amazingly low 7.1 and 6.6 L/100 Kms from my first 2 tanks.

Congrats on the purchase!

we took delivery of my wifes' Reflex Silver Alltrack 3 weeks back - first tank we got 811 km to about 61 litres of fuel, so she's wrapped, especially given her previous car (Forester XS) was getting around 500km to a full tank!

Very impressed with the build quality and drive itself - the drivers seat is a bit ho-hum, but we're getting used to it.

Picked up our Alltrack in Candy White last week....awesome car - dying to see how it goes on our pea gravel! Previous cars include Jeep Renegade diesel and a Citroen c4 - build quality is exceptional

Need to buy tyres for my 4x4 Skoda Octavia and wondered what they use on the Alltrack? Just standard car tyres or is there anything 4x4 about them?

Mine has Continental ContiPremiumContact 2 tyres. Apparently the have self sealing capability though I'm not sure if that's the tyre or some of that internal goo.

I test drove an alltrack a couple of weeks ago and it had the Contis. I'm quite happy with the P7 Cinturatos on my Scout - not quite as nice as the Pzeros it was delivered with, but no complaints.
