..the more I look the more I am erring away from VAG and towards a Suzuki Vitara.

Seems to me that VAG don't really care that much about their customers. I am not ready to "take the plunge" yet, but I did pop over to our local Suzuki dealer and have a good look around the Vitara, (and Carwow has some good deals at the mo).

I have not had a test drive yet, (next on the to do list), and I must admit then interior does not seem to quite have the "quality" of the Yeti, but it is still something I could happily live with. The Suzuki also seems a little less "pretentious" than some of its competition.

Problem is deciding on auto or manual and  2WD or AWD. Must admit I quite fancy an auto, and although I have hardly ever needed AWD it would be a nice option to have...?

Get it while you can or it may follow the Jimmy

I have looked at the Kamiq, no 4x4, and the seating position is like getting into a normal car. I wont be getting one of them. The only current Skoda alternative to the Yeti seems to be the Karoq, but no 4x4 petrol version availble and once specced up is innthe mid £30k's. The Kodiaq us far too big for us and even more £'s.

 

Really?

4x4 Didn't seem to be an option when i was building the spec, but you are obviously correct. May look again.
