Well having exhaustively tried almost every supermini on the market I finally steered the Mrs to a Yeto and she liked it.  Probably helped that it was in Elegance spec with a decent toy count.

 

As a family we have gone from 0 Skodas in November to having two in March.

 

Going to get it after work on Monday.

 

It is a 1.2 TSI in silver of some hue.  Seems to be a totally standard car straight from Skoda management fleet.  It does have hooks and a net in the boot which seems like a great idea.

 

You will like it, the engine is a gem. Had 3 mates in mine for the first time yesterday, so over 300kg of weight. When I got the car and told them it was a 1.2 and how good it was they didn't believe me but they were amazed how well the car performed. A roads. dual carriageway and hills all without a problem and plenty of acceleration when needed even at 70mph going uphill it still pulled away with ease.

Glad you're joining the Yeti fraternity. Mine's a 1.2, good performance, comfortable and 39 mpg overall now it's got 9000 miles on it.

You've got some way to go if you want to catch our family up. We've got 5 Skodas - last year they were all Fabias as in the small 'avatar' photo on the left.

Why would anyone NOT buy a Skoda?

Well my Dad is on his 4th or 5th Golf, Mum is on her 3rd Polo, My brother has a new Sirocco which followed a lot of Golfs.

 

I had a few Saabs as did my Uncle although the rest of his family had VWs too.

 

I have no idea why my Dad would have a 1.6 TDI Golf which he uses to tow his small caravan. when a Yeti, better suited to his purposes by a long way, would be either less or far better specced for similar money.  Some folk are crazy.  Maybe when he sees our Yeti he will consider one next time.

Last year I pursueded some friends to check out a new Yeti to compare with the Golf they were thinking of buying. They LOVE their Muscovado 1.2 dsg especially the 'commanding' seating position.

Isn't Yeti a bargain compared to equivalent Golf?
