I had my heart set on a 170 L&K and then my company cut our Co2 cap from 160g to 120g. I'm looking at regular hatchbacks now, but wondered what the Yeti Greenline Elegance was like? 105bhp and a 5sp box seems a compromise too far, but I love the Yeti.

I'm thinking of ordering a Petrol Blue L&K. A colleague has a blue Audi with brown interior and it works well as a contrast. However, I'm fully aware that colours in the brochure and on the web look nothing like real Petrol Blue cars. It seems to be a difficult colour to capture. I can't seem to find many pictures online either in this colour. Does anyone here have a FL Yeti in this colour (or a decent picture of one)? If you happen to have the L&K.. perfect!

I have a Peugeot 3008. The interior looks more funky than the Yeti, but.. it is the most unreliable car I have owned. In addition the control knob for the satnav unit broke whilst the car was still under warranty - Peugeot refused to fix it. My only option was to replace the whole unit at my own cost - 1700. I bought it as I got a better deal than I could get on a Yeti. I'm finally replacing it later this year... for a Yeti. I've owned two Octavias previously and done galactic mileage on both.

I have seen someone with the rear seats of their Yeti in their tent.

Maybe I'm just getting old (I had a Jabba'd mk1 vRS back in the day which I loved to bits) or maybe it was the genuine surprise at the agility of the Yeti. Think it will make the best fun/family hack compromise between the two.

Test drove a vRS Octavia and a 170 Yeti back to back today and honestly found the Yeti more fun to drive! The TSI engine in the Octavia is a peach for sure, but I found the steering lacking feel and the general level of feedback almost artificial. It's also very dark in there with the black headlining. The Yeti was a genuine surprise - really nimble and light on it's feet (tyres!) with a neutral balance and loads of feel. I could imagine the Yeti to be more fun to punt down a winding road. Coupled with the practicality of the 4x4 and rear seats, I'm probably going to go for a L&K Yeti.

Will wait until a few more colour combos are available before writing this off completely. They did the same with Superb - the preview models were brown, with brown dashboard, brown seats, brown brown brown. My neighbour has a Petrol Blue L&K Superb Combi which looks stunning. -
4g over our company Co2 threshold.. Will be manual for me then. :(

It's not that i'm against brown. I rather like it as a leather upholstery colour in cars, but not all the plastics too... Reminds me of my grandad's mk1 Vauxhall Cavalier! Here's the interior of the A4 that I'm also considering - much nicer I'm afraid. -

I will hold out until I see the interior, but the tdi 4x4 sounds very nice. -
The triangular lights at least look similar to the clay model in the first post.

After 2 Octavias, I was going to buy a Yeti last time. Bought a Peugeot 3008 instead (v. good deal via work) Not recommended. Yeti FL will replace it next year.
