There was a very favourable review of the Yeti in Sunday's Independent. You can see a copy at Skoda Yeti - Road Tests, Motoring - The Independent.

Nice it even comes with the 2.0 CR TDI 170 in the vRS.

Press the "off road" button and electronics recalibrate the traction control and the differential lock to suit loose surfaces, and there's a "downhill assistant" which automatically brakes as required to maintain the desired (slow) speed. If you want to go a little faster, just press the accelerator; bizarrely, this works even if you're in neutral and relying on the brakes to keep speed in check. The accelerator simply works as a variable electronic control.

Cool!

Good stuff.

To me the yeti looks like a tidier, chunkier roomster. I like it.

Looking forward to seeing one in the flesh. Could be just the job when we move to the Peak District.

Certainly a favourable review
