Hello everyone. I am about to place an order for a new Yeti and in doing the research came across this forum and hope that someone here can offer their opinions.
I currently have a VW 2.0TDI Touran which I find a realy good drive, pacey, comfortable cruising and I am afraid I'll miss it. It has very similar Verioflex seating to the Yeti which I like in terms of versility as well as a big boot. ( don't need the seven seat capacity these days). I have in fact "converted" it to a 5 seat and have a space saver spare under a new boot floor. I've looked for a new car that offers the same versitility as the Touran but the type of driving I am doing now would conflict with the DPF recommendations so I am considering a 1.2TSI Elegance on the basis of fuel economy being closest to the diesel and they are cheaper than the 1.4 and 1.8
Will I be disappointed by this drop in engine size in the Yeti? All the reviews praise it but if anyone has long term day to day use can they give any opinion on how they've found it. Also those with a Yeti and spacesaver spare does it leave the boot space a bitlimited for those occassions you need to pack the kitchen sink. (Yes I have a child at university)
Appreciate that lots of members of this forum are diesel 4X4 Yeti owners but don't let that stop you giving an opinion.
Many thanks
