Yetisport

Interesting to look back on this discussion! I still have my 2016 black Yeti 150hp with 4x4 and DSG gearbox, and I really like this car!👍. Running on 19’’ wheel both summer and winter, it looks cool as well👍😎

"My Yeti is our general runabout, for commuting to work and for when we go out with family and friends etc." Ours is used for exactly the same purposes, and when travelling to our place up in the mountains of Telemark, 1000m above sea level, where there is snow most of the year! The chunky shape reminds me of my former Jeep Cherokee 1998 model, and the Yeti actually feels like a much more modern version of that car, with its square angles and large windows with good views." My soft top MX5's take care of my "need for speed" (particularly the supercharged NA-version). So after all - our passion for cars might not be that different after all?

For my 42's I never even thought about it, but thats with the pedals on the other side. Strange enough, the only car I have owned with lack of space for my feet, was a Porsche Boxster. And that car has the engine behind the seats, so one should believe there would be sufficient space up front! I started this topic - my first here - with a provocation, not intended to be so, but find it interesting to be here now! Have a nice weekend folks, friends or not, who all love the Yeti for different reasons!

And I even forgot Trinidad and Tobago. I have not noticed the problem with the footwell space in our LHD car. Actually I like the car a lot, but I was a little unlucky calling the car boring in my first post here. I never thought my post would engage so many people so much, but now I have learned. And then - I could not help keeping on provoking a little. Isn't this what a discussion forum is all about? Have a nice evening.

Think I found out why your cars are normal: when they fit the steering column on "the wrong side of the car" like in Britain, it will be quite opposit to the cars built for the rest of the world. Lucky you - because the rest of my Yeti is quite nice

I agree, we also went from a Roomster (1.9 TDI Sport - loved it!) and bought a Yeti. They sell it both with and without a spare wheel, and we bought a second hand car with the spare wheel. I soon found out that the sparewheel took almost half the luggage space, so I through it out and bought the few parts I needed to get the flat boot. That changed the practicality of the car completely, recommendef!

Of course. You won't find it without, unfortunately. Seriously, if you do not see/feel that it is something wrong with the way the steering wheel is placed, I don't understand what other cars you compare with. I have had a lot of cars during my life, we usually have two or three cars in our family, but I have not had the feeling I get in the Yeti since my Fiat 600 in 1968. Apart from this, the Yeti is perfect, I really love the way it drive, the practicality and - the look of it after my few small adjustments. Anyone else in here who can confirm that the steering wheel is placed somewhat awkwardly? On the Roomster it is - as previously mentioned - completely different, that car had a driving position similar to our Mazda MX5 NC.

You are damned right. And unfortunately it will never be, but that's how I would have liked it. Ours is a 140 hp diesel DSG 4x4, not that bad either.

Our Yeti is not very different, its the standard 3.2 V6 Supercharged, 398 bhp 4x4

Sorry that I obviously hurt you a lot by my post, that was not the intention with my first comment in here ever. I like most of the car a lot, and drive it as often as I can. But to be honest, a completely original Yeti is a nice little car, ok, but definitely no stunner.

By the way - isn't that a very old one.......

Only when it concerns the seats and driving position, the rest of the Roomster works ok, but feels VERY cheap.

Thanks - you said it! (I'm already unpopulsr here - after a few posts...) When we bought our Yeti, I soon discovered that it was almost impossible to find a decent drving position. That is mainly due to the steering wheel, which is placed in a flat, bus-driver manner, or somewhat like an old italian sports car (and thats not a compliment!) The Roomster was the complete oposit, the driving position was extremely good, believe it or not, more like ca modern sports car. We had the 1.9 Tdi with the very good sport seats, and no doubt, it was a much more drivers car than the much more expensive Yeti. And as even my wife now says, I like the Yeti a lot, but I cannot find a good driving position. Shame for such a nice little SUV.

To a certain extent you'r right - but still - next year there will be 245/35x19 on the car.
