Hi, finally taken the plunge and bought myself a Yeti.  It's a 2016 L&K 1.4 manual in grey and replaces a 2008 Mini Clubman Cooper that I've owned for the past 5 years.  Reasons for the change, the wife hated the poor ride in the Mini and I had a need for a vehicle with reasonable off road capabilities.  I have always admired the Yeti, I guess I like boxy cars having owned an X-Trail for 12 years. Well it is a very practical shape, if something of a mud magnet though not quite as bad as the Mini!

The plan is to run the Yeti as a two seater, as we did with the clubman, to accommodate our 3 chocolate labs with a Barjo dog guard fitted behind the front seats.  Boot liner and bumper protector all on order, so dogs not allowed in it until fitted!  

A warm welcome !
