Try this crowd - I've seen their work and they are pretty good http://www.dentdevils.co.uk/index.htm

Slightly better downhill then

My daughter is using our Mii for practice - her driving school car is a diesel Citroen DS3. She loves driving the Mii and can now see why we were keen to buy one so that she would have a car to use post test (neither the Yeti or Roomster were options for her insurance wise). The DS3 is obviously bigger and perhaps more comfy for an instructor who spends a lot of time in the car. But daughter cannot work out why the Citroen is so much more expensive than the Seat. She loves the planted feel of all of the controls on the Mii and the fact that there are short overhangs. The visibility is also much better. The Mii SE doesn't have parking sensors, Citysafe or stop/start as standard, although otherwise trim is good with remote locking, electric windows, alloys, leather steering wheel and decent speakers for the radio. In terms of economy, I usually average mid 60's mpg in the Seat, 50ish in the Yeti and when we are out practising for the test, the Mii seems to return low 50's. That does include a lot of shuffling about with parking manoeuvres etc.

The Nightbreaker Unlimiteds in our Mii make the lights almost as good as the Xenons on our Yeti. They are a really useful upgrade.

And the Skoda Yeti

I think it's an UP http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHz8EWzBY3k

I told you that you would

You'll end up buying the Mii! I was set on the Citigo but the deal on the Mii was too good to miss out on.

Upgraded bulb will save the flash being needed from those yellow boxes on sticks alongside the roads around here

Autocar aren't too keen on the new i10 in their Autotest this week. They list the Up as being above the i10 in the summary of the test and by implication the Citigo and Mii too.

What utter whitewash. Sorry if you're new to the site but it looks like you're a dealer or represent a dealer and so you should be ashamed of trying to justify such a stupid pricing policy. So yellow is 'special' to the Citigo but not the Mii. But then White is 'Special' to the Mii attracting an extra cost of £175 but is 'free' on the Citigo. Both Skoda and SEAT must think that their customers are daft to swallow these 'special paint' theories. They're all made in the same factory and go down the same production lines all mixed up together. I bet that in most deals to buy a new Mii or Citigo that the price actually paid will be the same irrespective of these non metallic 'special paint' option prices. I paid no more for my Mii in white as I vaguely remember that at the time, Red was the 'special paint' option!

Like everything it's a gamble buying this one. Everything could turn out fine but the gamble comes at a cost by way of a decent purchase price. Whilst this one is for sale via a car supermarket, the price is pretty much on a par with what a franchised dealer would ask for something that has been looked after. They are clearly waiting for someone with more cash than sense and as the saying goes 'Buyer beware'. I know someone who bought a 2 year old diesel Focus with a very dubious history. It was a vehicle seized from someone who'd acquired cars from hire companies and not returned them. The insurers wrote it off and then went bust. The buyer then bought it 'as seen' for under £3k via a banger auction. The sump oil looked like treacle but the car ran well despite having done 35k miles on factory oil. As far as I know it's still going really well and the last I heard it had done 150kmiles+. There again it had no DPFs or Cat converters to complicate things. You'll find something more suitable!

Now this is something that they should be embarrassed about not sorting out on the Facelift. Looking at Johann's picture they're bigger than ever on the City model. I really dislike this bodge and hope that the design guy responsible got his P45. I'd just make sure that any overzealous vehicle 'preppers' don't take them off new FLs at PDI, because I reckon they'll be a bother to fit later on, judging by the fun I had with this on my Yeti. Something they'll hopefully sort for Yeti Mk2. :think:

Fair enough but as you're probably finding there is much less choice. It's worth keeping an eye on the Skoda site though if you aren't already.
