Hi, just found the forum and joined - looks a lively one.

After 4 years cruising motorways in a trusty Jag S-type I have changed career and now find myself down farm tracks and out in the country.

Cue search for small 4wd, tried Freelander (made me feel sick) Tiguan (noisy and like sitting in a tank) 3008 (funny design, odd shapes all over the place) couldn't face trying the X1 and at last Hallelujah! a Yeti. Comfortable easy to see out, nice to drive, not too big and really versatile.

So now I am waiting for my Muscovado monster to arrive - 4 weeks so far and counting, looks like it should be another 5-6 weeks from recent posts. The dealer has offered me rock bottom for the Jag so I'll probably try it privately in a couple of weeks.

I'll be in the market for bike racks, towbars, etc etc, but thought I would just get the Yeti first then work out what I need from there.

Welcome. I hope the S-Type goes to a good home!

Welcome

It will be a lot cheaper to run that the X-Type

What Spec did you choose ?

Its a 140 tdi 4x4 in Elegance trim. Couldn't decide on any other options so didn't choose any, but I'll probably get the internal bike rack and have a towbar fitted.

I hope it is cheaper to run than the Jag - regular service is £300-400 every year, brakes are £350 for rears (just done) and tyres are £180 each!
