Nice to meet you! I come from Greece and I have just ordered the Greenline in Candy White! I am waiting for three months to have it! Thanks for the informations in this beautiful site!

Hi and welcome to the forum, three months could seem like a very long time. The link below is for the handbook so if you get bored you could download one to read in the meantime.

Thamk you "The Hood"! I have all the manuals already in greek! But i will take a look also in English!


I have to tell you that in U.K you are blessed! You have to choose from 5 different equipment levels(e,s,se,se plus, elegance) but i have to choose only from three! (active,ambition,experience) even the experience has not leather seats and auto diming rear view mirror, e.t.c...

 

[The Hood]

To be honest although I have the Elegance I have no real preference between leather or fabric seats, but the auto dipping interior mirror is brilliant. I also like the hill hold control it makes things so easy, but it is a little strange if you park in a car park on a slope, you apply the handbrake and the car stands still, then a couple of seconds later the hill hold releases and there is a very slight nudge felt through the car.It does not move but the weight distribution and the attitude of the carchanges slightly. I am sure you will not be dissapointed with your Yeti they really do grow on you.

Thank u "The Hood"! I am a sportsman (mountain bike, windsurf) and soon a father... so the room that a yeti can offer is brilliant!

I bought the ambition model in candy white with 2.300 euro of extras!
Bi- xenon 1.100 euro
Auto diming inside mirror and automatic wipers 260 euro
rough off-road equipment 240 euro
cruise control 260
tinted back windows 135
under the passenger seat drawer 40
drivers and front passenger seat with lumber support 110
glasses hole 20
aluminium pedals 135
heated pressure windsields 40

Total price 21.800 euro

The ambition has not back airbags, maxi dot, tpm, corner fog lights, coming home lights, auto diming outside mirrors, heated seats, no navigation only swing radio, mdi, radio and phone tuning on the steering, back speakers, leather seats and all the extras of course that i ordered...
Is there anything that you find useful to put in? if i have the time now!!!

I regret not having the heated front windscreen, I live in a frost pocket andleave for work at around 0430 and have had ice form inside the windscreen when driving down the road. You do not list a spare wheel, but as you are buying a greenline it may not be offered due to the increased weight affecting the emissions level. It cost me around £80 when I placed the order, buying it afterwards costs quite a lot more, the spare wheel I got was a 195/60/126. Many people are happy to have a can of glue but like the reassurance of a spare wheel.I also bought one of these covers to prevent damage to the intercooler radiator, with the postage it was fairly expensive but cheaper than a damaged radiator. The lower grill acts a bit like a scoop collecting dead leaves and stones. Others have made a cheaper modification using mesh cut to fit.

Thank you "The Hood"! As you know Greece doesnt have so much cold even during the winter so a heated front windscreen is not a very useful equipment!

Also you are right about the spare wheel! The greenline has a lower ground clearence (15,5 instead of 18 cm), spare wheel is not an option as well as towbar! But i dont mind as i will enjoy the more boot space (510

liters instead of 405!)

The cover that you have linked above is something that i would like to know more information.! Is there any link to buy it?
Thanks for the useful informations!

Hi Sorry for the late reply I missed your post.
As well as mine I have manged to help three other people get a cover, the Russians are O.K so don't be put off. I did not mange to order from their website but emailed them asking if they would post to the UK. The postage was fairly expensive but the total cost is less than repairing a radiator. Others have made their own mesh covers for less money but the Russian cover is good quality and easy to fit/remove.

If you do contact them you will have more luck if you use russian in the tittle of your first email, until I did, I did not get any reply, they probably thought I was spam.

Here is their sales email address, [email protected]
Here is a link to the cover http://www.strelka11.ru/zaschita-radiatora/skoda.html
Here is a link to the topic on this forum, more detail given in the 13/12/12 posthttp://www.yetiownersclub.co.uk/forum/can-you-find-this-cover_topic309_page3.html
