  1. 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.
  2. 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!
  3. 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.

    Octavia vRS vs Yeti

    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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 4g over our company Co2 threshold.. Will be manual for me then. :(
  9. 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.
  10. More pics here; http://indianautosblog.com/2014/03/skoda-octavia-laurin-klement-edition-122274 A bit too much brown for me..
  11. I will hold out until I see the interior, but the tdi 4x4 sounds very nice.
  12. The triangular lights at least look similar to the clay model in the first post.
  13. Please delete this thread - duplicate content.
  14. 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.
