Attractive crossover will be affordable for many family drivers to insure

Yeti is now available to order from Škoda retailers.

Škoda retailers have opened their doors for orders of the brand new Yeti. Customers can now place orders for the Czech manufacturer’s new crossover vehicle, six weeks ahead of its official on-sale date of 17 September 2009.

For those customers eager to track down a Yeti there is even more good news. Insurance ratings have been secured and they make great reading for stretched family budgets.

The entry-level 1.2 (105bhp) Yeti E has been granted insurance rating 3E – with the same rating given to the next trim step, Yeti S – making Yeti affordable for many family buyers.

The highest rating is just 9E for the 2.0 TDI (170bhp) Elegance 4x4 and 1.8 TSI (160bhp) Elegance 4x4 models.

Bloody ugly though isn't it!

Edit, for some reason this posted twice :S

Respectfully suggest unless you have something more constructive to say.... Keep schtum.

I'm quite keen on the Yeti and with the fact of the cheap insurance brackets it should make it popular with families as Colin has stated in his post.
