HelloA couple of weeks ago I was driving past our local Skoda specialist dealer (used to be a main dealer but lost the dealership to the big boys, pity.) When I spotted a Shark blue Yeti. So I stopped and wandered into the showroom for a closer look. The salesman appeared "Its a 1.2 dsg auto 30000 miles etc. Oh I said. "Take it for a spin" said the salesman. Well I was just looking really I spluttered! So showroom door open I set of down the road. Not knowing quite what to expect from this pretty blue car. The engine so quiet and yet so powerful but its only 1.2 amazing! The gearbox again I have driven automatics but nothing like this, so responsive, so quiet, so quick. To cut a long story short I loved it.
I think it was the general feeling of quality that does the trick nothing rattles and all the controls are solid and functional.
So a week later after haggling trade in etc. It's sat outside our house.
then I look on the internet and find this friendly forum so hello everyone.
Have I any criticisms of the car well not yet. I am a retired engineer so I scanned the internet for technical literature with regard to the engine and gearbox. The complexity of the engine and gearbox are mind blowing you would not think anything so complex could possibly be reliable. So only time will tell!
So I look forward to happy hours with Yeti and her Forum!
