Well my time as a Yeti driver has now come to an end.

It is now three years ago that I took delivery of my Snow Beast..

 

I decided on the Yeti after a period of intense investigation, test drive and reliance on the sage advice and reviews on these forums.

 

However the bugger held its value too much and I couldn't afford the buy out..

My firms car leasing scheme, which was heavily subsidised has also changed so put a replacement Yeti in reach.. but financially uncomfortably.

 

I will miss being able to wave at the other Yeti drivers I have happened across over the last 3 years ..

Selfishly a part of me is really glad that it is only about 5, such is the elusive (exclusive) nature of the Yeti. 

It has been a head turner, the only car I have ever had that I have been stopped, on numerous occasions, to be asked on what it is like to drive etc.

 

During the last 3 years, we have had some great snow fall.. ok it was only for a few days each year.. but the 4x4 beast didn't put a foot wrong.

And for a few hours each day it was the only car in the firms car park and a fine sight it made.

 

Whoever buys my Yeti will be getting a fantastic, beautiful car. 

Just hope they have the manners to wave at the others.

 

So back in June, I found myself taking stock of my requirements.. change in family circumstances.. did my research of the whole market.. 

 

Worked out I was looking for just a run around, no need for such a big car.. 

Did test drives ... went to the same in-depth research that I did that ended my up with the Yeti.

 

So although it is goodbye to this Yeti forum, it will be a Big Hello to the Citigo forum.

A Citigio Sport (Red) is on order as a factory build and should be with me early October.

It was intended to be through the works lease car scheme, but on seeing the dealer for a test drive they offered such a good deal..

 

So although I am extremely disappointed to see the Yeti go, I am also excited to be getting another, perhaps what some would call a "qwerky" car.

Didn't intentionally set out to drive another Skoda Badge but they certainly build the motors that tick all the boxes.

 

Happy motoring folks!

Hey Chaz!  You're only moving a page or two up the Briskoda forums!  Enjoy the Citigo 

Hey Chaz, you'll always be welcome here and I hope you give us a 'look in' once in a while.

As a previous Yeti owner you'll be able to give us useful insight to how the Citigo fits your new status. I suspect some of us here are considering the Citigo as a second car.

Come back and tell us please

Err no.....As a FIRST car. :lol:

Still considering a base spec Citigo as my main car. Not sure that I can justify 2 cars though. Wifey doesn't need one, but daughter would want me to, if she knew I was thinking about it, so she could nick it :lol:

We looked at the CitiGo when it came to changing my lads then gracefully ageing Fabia Mk1, last year. Price was off-putting, so we picked up another base model Fabia just into it's third year with average miles and saved 3+k.

M daughter bought the Citigo and loves it. The no brainier which sealed the deal for us was the cheap insurance and running cost.

Her pug106 was costing her £1500 a year to insure, plus all the repair bills and road tax.

The Citigo costs £400 to insure, has nil road tax and a 3 year warranty.

She also saves a shed load on petrol as its at least twice as economical.

Add that it's such fun to drive, even in 60ps guise, and you've got yourself a cracker

The yeti is my every day car but i'll pinch the Citigo if I get the chance.
