Old Jack Russell

If you push it hard on the motorway (70/75) you will be lucky to get between 45 & 50. However, if you are prepared to keep to around 55ish, driving carefully, then you can get to about 63 on the display. My car has got 6000 on the clock and is 6 months old. I'm very pleased with the car so far but the only gripe both my wife and I have is the seats are uncomfortable on long journeys.

I've had my Yeti Greenline Elegance since June as a leased company car and covered about 5000 miles. Both SWMBO and I have been vey impressed with the comfort, roadholding and economy. On long journeys (30 miles +) driving sensibly we are getting around 63mpg on the MFD,if you ignore the shift up display and drive the car then we get in the low 50's. I thought I would miss the extra power of the Volvo V50 2.0D but not a bit of it, however you do have to consider and allow for the narrow power bands. It's great on motorways as it is on country roads. I'm looking to take early retirement at Christmas and we would definately buy one to replace the loss of the much loved leased car.

Trained and qualified as a junior/secondary teacher in the 70's, but decided I didn't like children. Then into the Police for a short period (but decided I didn't like people) before becoming an Estate Agent. In the late 80's did a short stint working for a Housing Association before the early 90's recession forced a career change (redundancy). For the past 21 years I've been working in the electricity distribution industry and I'm currently in the 'departure lounge' as it looks as if within the next 6 months I may achieve 'escape velocity' and join the happy band of early retirees. Plan to tour Europe extensively in our motorhome. My Yeti Greenline is a company car but we've been so impressed with it we will be buying one when I retire.

Got an email today from Lex Autolease to say my Yeti Greenline Elegance will be delivered to my door on the morning of 6th June. Wow... that's roughly 12 weeks from confirmed order in March. I don't know what I've done to deserve this!!!

Sorry I missed a comma out. It should read 'Can't be be bad, as my Volvo v50 has to go back in June'. The Volvo V50 2.0D has been a very good car but I'm hoping the Yeti Greenline will be even better!

Ordered my Yeti Greenline Elegance in March through Autolease and was given a stock date 16/08/2011. However, I received a call from Autolease last Thursday to say the stock date had been brought forward to 04/07/2011 and they were hoping for an earlier date than that. Can't be bad as my old Company Car (Volvo V50) was due to go back in June.

I didn't notice any difference in noise level between the 1.2TSI and the 1.6Tdi, if anything I found the 1.6Tdi to be more more refined. The road surface had the biggest effect on noise. Having driven both cars over the same roads I found both were susceptible to road/tyre noise over the same surface, concrete being the worst but then all cars would suffer. Both cars were not as quiet as my current Volvo V50 2.0TDI. I noticed cornering was not quite as sharp in the 1.6Tdi but then I would expect that to be the case on the narrower and taller 16" tyres, unless you are going to thrash the car around corners I don't see that as an issue. I see the benefits of the 16" tyres/wheels easily outway the disadvantages. I was also pleseantly surprised that there was no noticeable effect from the strong cross winds on the motorway yesterday, the Yeti remained very stable, could this be due to the lower ride height? The only critism of the Yeti I could make (or more precisely, 'her in doors' could make) is that we find neither the cloth or leather seats with lumber support are as comfortable as the V50, but then again Volvo are renowned for their seating. So it's the Yeti Greenline 1.6TDI Elegance in Muscovardo, gobi leather, tyre pressure monitor and silver rails. How long I got to wait is anyones guess!

I have been lucky in having the use of a new (60 plate) Yeti Greenline Elegance 1.6tdi over the past 3 days, sadly it's going back to Skoda UK tomorrow. Having tried a 1.2 petrol SE (manual) last week I am definately sold on the more flexible Greenline. Don't get me wrong the 1.2 is a very good lively car but the diesel is far more forgiving and that long fifth gear is just perfect for motorway cruising. I managed to get about 54 mpg from a run up the M40 between 70 & 80 and a bit of town driving either end which I didn't think was too bad for a new car that was not yet loosened up. The 16 inch Moon's set the car off a treat. My order has gone in to LexAutolease today without any hesitation
