Is there a car which features full-time front wheel drive on both wheels?
Can you recommend a new or used model of front wheel drive car that is permanently driven by both front wheels? I am tired of having to pull off or to the side of narrow roads to allow passing, only to find that my Skoda Octavia comes to a halt with its nearside front wheel spinning when I want to pull away.

Peugeot/Citroen does an option called 'Grip Control': an electronically locking front diff on the 3008, the Berlingo and the Partner. Alternatively, Skoda does 4WD versions of its Octavia and Yeti.

Spacious and practical interior, excellent diesel engines, clever split tailgate and boot.
Unique styling. Solid build. Excellent petrol engines including frugal yet peppy 1.2 TSI. Good space in the back. Frugal 1.6 TDI Greenline can return 60mpg+.
