I recently bought my second Skoda, a Yeti TDI 140 4x4 DSG.

 

My first Skoda was a 1999 Octavia 1.9 TDI SLX Estate that I owned for 13 years. It was the most reliable car I've ever had out an eclectic range of 24 cars owned since 1962, it even had it's original exhaust and clutch when I sold it to a friend. I wish that Skoda had put that 1.9 TDI engine into the Yeti, I know it was 'dirty' by today's standards, but it was a great engine, almost as good as the Rover/Buick V8 that I had in a couple of cars. I hope that my Yeti will prove to be as reliable.

 

A warm welcome to the Forum !  Sounds like you may be in my group, started with cars in 1961 having previously been into bikes.
