I lease a 1.0l SE tech. Love it. Best all-round car I've ever had. Managed a 51 mpg on a long run out last week. Anyway, I was checking on skoda.co.uk for the 1.0 model and couldn't find it any more. In fact the new from price is 22.6k. Was this a sneaky way to introduce a cheap model? And then ditch it.

The glossy plastic and dashboard plastics. Scratch if you breath on them. The start/stop is a bit more giddy than it ever was in the Yeti.

This was my best lease deal yet. Tech SE DSG 1.0 350 deposit and 220 a month for 30 months. Didn't have to front load the cash, always worth asking a if you can lower the deposit. It made no difference to the long term payments. On top of this the dealer gave me 250 cash back before my deposit. I drove away a brand new car for 100. One service , no tax, breakdown included. No brainer for me. Love the car. The engine is fab and the DSG is much smoother than the yeti. Steering is sublime. And the brakes are night and day over the yeti. I do miss the LED lamps from the Yeti. They were incredible. The auto start/stop is very poorly implemented this time. It's all over the shop. That is the only thing I don't like - oh and the glossy plastics skoda use are awful. Scratch when you breath on them. I can't see a scenario where i would buy one. But everyone's circumstances are different.

That's interesting! My car came with a scratch which the dealer was too laid back about ! I.e didn't sort it until I kicked off. Sent from my XT1580 using Tapatalk

Girl friend has the L&K and it's there. My Yeti buying/leasing experience has been one dreadful thing after another. Sent from my XT1580 using Tapatalk

Yes - I've just got an SE-L phone works through Bluetooth fine. But there is no voice control even though there are buttons. Second to top of range - this a mean spirited omission. And I can see why the OP would get confused. Sent from my XT1580 using Tapatalk

A blow brush for camera lenses my be one idea. Because it doesn't come into contact with it as such. Sent from my XT1580 using Tapatalk

Still, why not use more practical surfaces. I can't remember cars from previous generations having these problems. Sent from my XT1580 using Tapatalk

Yes - a shame. We've had three fabias - all scratched the same. We've got two new yetis and I've been very careful but but got slight scratches. You need a the finest microfibre clothes (for keeping tablet/phone screens clean) and something like autoglym fast glass to keep clean. Go near them with your finger or a rough microfibre and you will put scratches straight on to them. Most people will not even know or care - I'm precious about this sort of stuff and quickly realised how easy it is to scratch them. As for taking the scratches out there is a plastic polishing kit I got that works to a degree. I will get the name. Quite frankly it's crap. Cheap materials. But not exclusive to Skoda.

Yes it was. The low profiles! The Yeti is firm but not bumpy. Sent from my XT1580 using Tapatalk

I reckon 30-34 knocking around. I did see 40 once - coming down from the mountains!

Thanks for that. May give it a try in an inconspicuous area. Sent from my XT1580 using Tapatalk

Didn't use 98 is the price difference worth it? And Brasso - is that not abrasive? Thanks for comments. Sent from my XT1580 using Tapatalk

PCH. May be different for PCP.
