roscoe

we do miss the underseat drawers from our previous touran. however, the upside is, if our spaniel dog is in the front seat half of him fits under the seat

swan neck, inc electrics, fitting, vat 260, indespension, thule I think. don't often reverse with towbar in use so can cope with a few beeps then.

1.2 TSI is really great for buzzing about town and twisty back roads, much better than I expected. As others have mentioned, if you want to tear up/down a motorway overtaking at 70>>80 it runs out of puff compared to the very much higher torque diesels. I like the 1.2 very much and it sounds like the right choice for you, but others that do alot of overtaking above 50 would be better stumping up the extra cash for a bigger engine.

on the brink of yeti'ship,..... still very undecided my other car is a 525d with unresolved DPF issues, these diesels are just so complex nowadays, anyhow my problem is that the criteria for regen are not achieved as the car somehow runs under temperature, even after changing thermostats etc etc, I can't remember last petrol but reckon the yeti will be. wondering what the long term reliability for the 1.2 engine will be ?
