Question Anyone got a Skoda Yeti

I quite fancy one to replace the aging 100k mile 5 series - especially as the winters around our way have been so bad the last couple of years and a mile from the main road has caused some super slow journeys!

I think they look great - and I could get it chipped and make it faster than a Veyron

We'll wait for the thread

Aren't Bugatti part of that mighty empire or is that just Bentley and lambo's?

Looks like an absolute bargain on paper ~£24k for top of the range model with a 2L TDI engine, 4wd, and lots of toys.

May consider a second hand one myself when the missus car starts to show signs of age, be good for the family as the car car was full on our recent trip to Ireland and that's just the three of us!

I was going to buy one in Feb and keep the scoob, but ended up going scoobless and getting a Jag XF.

The Yeti is very appealing as a fast crossover, has loads of gizmos, space for hauling fishing gear and isn't too bad to drive.
It reminded me of how the Forester used to be, which first got me into Scoobs. That wouldn't happen now with the current turgid Subaru offerings.

The Yeti is very appealing - it looks great and seems to have super strong residuals as well.
