Well, after an anxious couple of weeks took delivery of our new Yeti 1.2TSi Elegance today.
The anxiety was because I had ordered through AutoFinders which those of you who also read other Yeti forums may know have ceased trading. Thankfully my car was already built and at the dealers who have honoured all of the agreements I had made with AutoFinders other than I now have to reclaim the deposit I made with them from my CC company. Hats off to Rainsworh Skoda.
Initial impressions are good. Aqua Blue is a nice colour and have gone for Gobi Sand interior whichmakes the interior seemnice and light. Quick run to the supermarket is all the driving so far and having moved away from a 2.0l diesel noticing the difference in torque but I'll get used to that and the engine will loosen up. Weather is pretty awful so not had time to play and set up all the settings for phone, audio etc but looks fun.
One noticable thing driving was that the speedo is not very readable due to the depth of the cowl so Ican't see the 0 to 40 settings without moving my head to the left. Also opening the boot in my garage causes the boot lid to hit the up and over garage door which my old Touran didn't. Not something you would ever notice in a showroom. Looks like a bit of carpet padding may be required.
Anyway thanks again to all those who offered advice and suggestions when I was going through the Buy or Not Buy decision process. Considering the VAG settings now as DRL with fogs seems a better idea so will be looking for more help I suspect.
