Those were in budget...7-8k, the proceeds from sale of the Nissan. I know it won't be perfect, but the level of neglect was shocking.

I would prefer the 2.0, but the two I've looked at today were somewhat leggy and big red flags...131k, never had the cambelt and pump changed, rust blemishes bubbling under lower door paintwork and odd roof dents.

@toot not a JDM 4x4. Nissan Elgrand. Got a good supplier, but have to text to request parts, wait for a price, then down to postage, so usually a 3-4 day turnaround. Fine for service parts, but if something major goes and it's off-road, things snowball...2nd car needed elsewhere, so I can't get to work and it goes on. So something where parts are quite a bit easier to come by looks pretty attractive.

This. Had a look at a 2014 Greenline. Nice car. Shame about the recurring advisories of rear suspension arms being corroded and shocks misted with oil. Shame, as it was a good price for an 80k motor. Next up..2015 2.0 TDI with 130k for 8k...🤔

Nope, it didn't. Got rid before that. I hear what you're saying, but had to be an improvement on an 18 year old jap import that takes a week to get parts for😂

Without getting too involved at this stage, assuming the correct bolt and offset, and not altering the rolling circumference massively, I could look at a change of wheel/tyre down the line. Prett sure it wouldn't be the last vehicle I buy...😁

I don't NEED it, and I guess there's a small degree of additional transmission loss with the 4x4 when it gets going (doesn't the Hakdex usually drive just 2wd? It's not a full blown permanent system) Some have remarked on here about the Greenline being a touch "crashy" on its ride.... And given the state of roads aren't going to improve anytime soon.... I accept it won't be damped like a BMW 5 series....my experience of cars the last seven years has been Volvo XC70, XC90 and a Nissan Elgrand, so not exactly mid size European hatchbacks.....🤨

Come to the right place then.....😂

Could someone please provide a real world assessment of a yeti with these two different engine/drivetrain? I had the 1.6 in a a Golf with the DSG box. Perfectly adequate. Good on fuel. I'm assuming the Greenline would be comparable to that. I'm trying to avoid complications in the next car purchase, so a although the toys on the higher spec 4x4 are nice, that and the 4x4 is just now to go wrong. Coming from 3.5 V6 RWD Funbus with more toys than Hamlyns will take some getting used to though. Thoughts welcomed. 1.6 TDI Greenline 2014, 80k 2.0 TDI 4x4 SE L 2015 but with 132k....makes me nervous...😁

Well, it's been a while.... However, I find myself contemplating a 2015 2.0 Yeti. Better on fuel than a 2005 reg, 3.5 V6 petrol JDM bus. Higher ride and therefore less likely to break something on UK roads😔 Watch out for stupid questions in the Yeti section....😁

I'm back, baby! I've changed cars three times since I was last involved here (Honda CR-V to Volvo XC70, to Kia Sportage, to Volvo XC90) had two mental breakdowns and two kids ( possibly linked!!) However, now I'm stuck indoors, and only just beginning to consider working from home if I.T get their act together) I thought I would reignite some old acquaintances, with Briskoda being the safest of the available options!
