Oh Kev, so sorry chap.

I know how you feel as we lost our lab/ retriever cross last year after 13 of the best years of our lives. :'(

Remember those wonderful moments you had together.

It'll hurt like hell but hopefully put a little smile on your face at the same time.

thanks it hurts like hell :'( she was so perfect

but on a lighter note swmbo is thinking it would be a good day out on the plains so may be coming will let you know soon

The sum is greater than the parts!

Exactly.

A great all round package.

The Briskoda sticker in the back window...............

Got to drive this car through some heavy flooding this weekend in Speyside, all I can say is I have never felt so secure in a car. My best bit to date. What a solid, robust and dependable car [in a crisis!] and I have not even tried it on snow yet :p

This statement is very true. The harder the conditions, the more the car seems to shine! Snow, rain, flooding, it seems to love it! :-)

Can I add another one - the economy

Don't know how they manage to put a 1.2 TSI in a car this size and yet manages to be very spritely whilst managing very good mpg.

I agree with the previous posts that it's hard to pick one thing because it's such a great all round package. I did alternatively wonder if I'd miss most the good value for money (in terms of of overall ownership costs)compared to other crossovers. However, that's never going to be known for sure and does it also imply my next car isn't a Skoda? This is too hypothetical and making my head hurt - maybe I should just settle for being 'so nice to drive'.

Apart from everything else - this forum!

What a wealth of knowledge and support - if we had to rely on SUK we'd be sunk!

I agree with that one 100% Merlinman

All of the above AND, the way it blasts away from traffic lights when it is raining and the silly boy racers in the GTi's etc sit spinning the front wheels! 170TDi and 4x4 I don't even have to try

I have had this car less than a week and already I love it, it just works.

Forum is also very good and a friendly place to spend a few hours now and again.

Thanks

Agreed , it is the overall package

but I judge cars on the things that make you smile when using it.

Big things like handling -sure

and, of course, the park assist- yippee

other road users like the Yeti - very helpful

but small things like:-

on my Bolero radio the volume control is on the left side and tuning the on the right - just like it used to be in the good old days

it gets better-----press the manual button and I have a good old-fashioned tuning dial - Bliss!

my BIG mpg on Maxidot - wonderful

clip to hold parking tickets, etc

so yes, the sum is greater than the whole

I am looking forward to update this in March and give impressions on handling in snow, heated windscreen etc

the lovely, lovely, lovely sized steering wheel - in all its dimensions.

I just love the way it parks it's self in tight spaces. Great for London's lack of parking space

It's a stunning all-rounder, as I found out this weekend - too many things to list here (new post coming soon).

I like the retroness of that tuning dial too!!!

So I know the opening post to this thread said the ONE thing you like about the Yeti... but I'm going to add another neat thing I like: When you want to tip the seats forward (and you are doing this from inside the boot) the seatbacks are spring loaded and thus you lift the lever and without pushing the seatback they go all the way down!

If it was one thing then it'd be how fun it is - though that's cheating a bit as this encompasses the handling, the power and that (so far) it's never not done what I thought it'd do.

My best bit?

This place - a veritable goldmine of information and camaraderie!

I feel very comfortable here amongst chums

(Note my post number!)

Effortless progress! I am delighted by how easy the Yeti makes life.

Over here the young scrotes think a 110hp bog-spec audi is the dogs-gonads

they get twitchy at the lights looking over....

really kid.... do you really want to do this???..... ok then!.... and I'm gone!

Where is here? it is not in your profile.

I agree Spank, I love the practicality of the seats, boot, 4x4 etc but when needed I can easily embarrass the 'yoofs' around here in their badly spoilered hatches when I press down and let the 1.8TSi go. 4wd and smooth suspension easily outdoes a welded on exhaust and lowered chav mobile! I even got the thumbs up from a couple of lads I beat in their 'souped' Civic on a quiet, empty country road!
