    Yeti 1.8TSI

    TMfSR's Yeti pics
  2. I have had my 1.8TSI since June 2013. Not paid much attention to the dashboard indicator, but over 76 brim to brim refills, my average consumption has been 9.8L/100km, with a best tankful of 7.7L/100km In UK units, this would be an average of 28.7 UK MPG over 17,010 miles, with the best tankful achieving 36.9 MPG. These figures are for usage that is mostly short runs with the occasional 250 km to 500 km run, all done in rural NSW, Australia.
  3. Not 100% convinced - contours a little too exaggerated, the graphics look dated, and the road contact area seems inappropriate for off-road use. Car looks good though...

    1.8 4x4

    Very happy with mine. Nice engine as mentioned above, though not as sweet as the 1.4 twin-charger engine on my previous Golf. Fuel consumption a little heavier than I expected: average of 30 mpg over 19,000 km, best achieved figure was 37mpg. Unfortunately this combination (1.8TSI, 4x4) is no longer offered in Australia, so hopefully the next iteration of the Yeti will be available when I need to replace mine in about 2 years.
  5. With the ignition off, if you insert an SD card into the slot, the Bolero will switch itself on even with no key in the ignition. The unit will switch itself off after approximately an hour to protect the battery from going flat.
  6. Good point. The only problem is that as a work car it needs to be available for work related use, so I cannot leave it at home, nor can I leave it at the office as there is no secure overnight parking. I do question at times whether I really need a work provided car, but unlimited private use, a fuel card and a new car every 80,000 km is a privilege I am reluctant to give up.
  7. I have not tested on a steady drive as described, but the best I have achieved between fill-ups is 8.2L/100km or 34.5 mpg. The worst between fill-ups has been 14.3L/100km or 19.7 mpg. This is probably not surprising as my daily commute to work is approximately 3 minutes or 1.1km, which does not do the fuel economy (or the engine) any good
  8. Think of the SD card as a big box. You need to put your songs in the big box so you can hear them in your car. You can put all your songs in the big box, or you can put smaller boxes in the big box and put your songs in the smaller boxes. What songs you put in each small box is your choice: They can be songs by the same singer. They can be songs from the same CD (or vinyl record or 8-track cartridge or cassette tape). They can be songs of the same music type (e.g. Acid Punk Jazz in one small box, Early Byzantine Church music in another small box). If you have all your songs in the big box, the Bolero will allow you to listen to them randomly. If you have all your songs in the little boxes, the Bolero will only allow you to listen randomly to the songs within each little box. If you have all your songs in the little boxes, but also put at least one song in the big box (i.e not within a small box), by playing that song (the one in the big box by itself) and then selecting the MIX function, the Bolero will randomly play songs from all the little boxes. The small boxes can also have smaller boxes within them, but there is a limit of 8 levels of box that the Bolero will read. We call the big box the ROOT DIRECTORY. We call the little boxes SUB-DIRECTORIES.
  9. My strap is adjusted to a loop length of around 140cm. I believe the maximum is 152 cm This has been my experience as well - you need to keep one hand on the camera to steady it while walking..
