"In their pick of the cars of 2009 Nick Rufford and Andrew Frankel include the best Ferrari in a decade, a 200mph Noble and, yes, a class leading Skoda SUV"

"...the first to set standards to which others must aspire"

"Nothing you can buy for similar money feels as well built"

They show poor taste, fancy including a Ferrari, should have been just Skoda's!

I agree with the first comment on the Times article - exactly which Yeti costs more than the equivalent Golf? And you would need a Golf Plus to match the interior and luggage space. Even with VW's massive discounts, an equivalent (2WD of course) Golf Plus was coming out more expensive than our Yeti, and I know which I'd rather be driving!

Oh, and I admit my XF is not the S version, but I wonder how many other people can claim to have two (or more) cars on the list!

Hi aerofurb,

thanks for the link, interesting article me thinks. Nice to see a jurno who is not blinded by a badge but recognises true ability when they see it.

Anyway how are things going with you getting your Monster; with the 'blackouts' been loosing touch.

Likewise not heard from JonA: how are things with you?

Really enjoying my ownership despite the odd issue here and there, such as the alarm going off this morning. No reason why, other than maybe the rain.

With the way things are going so far, this could be an interesting ownership. Got a feeling like our cat Yeti thinks she owns us not the other way round.

It is certainly an interesting company the Yeti has in the article]

Hi!

I'm all good, and took delivery of my car one month after I ordered it. Ordered the car October 13. and picked it up November the 13. I have driven it 1900km's so far, I will be writing some sort of review later

Enjoy!

Hi Plumber

Glad to hear yours is still living up to expectations even with a few trials along the way. I'm waiting to hear from Allams about a confirmed delivery date - I know they'll do their best for me!

In case anyone is bored for a few minutes, SUK have a few video clips in their site:

Thanks aerofurb.

By the way not sure if you have noticed there is a similar Yeti to yours on the SUK used site, obviously a 140 but will give you some idea.

Looked at that - spookily similar spec. Somehow though, Plumber, the CR140 doesn't look as good in white as the CR170 (I imagine!)...!
