Hi Skoda Forum

I am collecting my new 2.0 CRD 140 4x4 Elegance DSG tomorrow. I haven't driven one yet, just going by the reviews and the good experience of previous Skoda ownership plus driving a few quick ones for a living (if that isn't a giveaway?) Still Jeremey can't be wrong can he - or am I mad?

My local Skoda dealers said that I would have to wait 4 to 6 months for a 4x4 and said that they couldn't even get one for themselves as a demonstrator. So I went to an online company at the end of December who offered me for immediately delivery a 170ps 4x4 Rosso Brunello. I wasn't sure about the colour and decided to wait, but they soon came back to me with the offer of a Silver, Grey or Black 140ps 4x4 DSG in time for Christmas. I put my name on the Steel Grey car but opted to collect tomorrow so that it can be first registered in 2012.

The car will come with heated front screen, mats, tyre pressure monitors and a spare, oh and about two grand under list! Too good to be true? Watch this space!

Yes, you are mad. Always test drive before you buy.

Fortunately the Yeti is an amazing car and I hope you'll be very happy with it.

Welcome to the forum!

Hello Itey Adoks and welcome along.

I'm sure you'll love it

Hi and welcome aboard.

Welcome

As Bossfox said you are mad :lol:

I have exact same model and have done nearly 16,000 in last 13 months. Still love driving it. Check out the mods I have done to mine- see link in my signature.

So easy to drive and I love the Park Assist! Can't find enough places to use it. DSG is brilliant.

The only bad bit about it is the stop start fuel consumption. I drive mine around London most days. When out and about in 40's, 50's & national speed limits fuel consumption is in the low to mid 40's mpg. They seem to start drinking heavily over 60mph, so if you keep to that or lower you will see okay economy. Even more important when fuel costs nearly £1.50/litre for V-Power.

completely bonkers....you'll fit in nicely round here

grey is the way ahead, very nice on the yeti. Sounds like a good deal you managed to wangle, especially on a car with waiting times like the yeti.
