I haveread asurveythat identifiedthe Yeti as the most reliable car in the U.K. however, there are a few people on this and another site that suggest they will replace their Yetiafter three years of ownership from new. Why I ask?
I have owned 10 cars including the Yeti during a 46 years of driving. A 1955Austin A50, A three year old 1966 Ford Cortina,A one year old 1971 Ford Falcon 3.5 litre with cross flow motor. A one year1978 oldMitsubishi 2 litreSigma, A one year old 1984 1.6 litreMitsubishi Colt. An 8 year old 1.6 litreVW Campervan / Dormobile, A 1989demo model 2.4 Nissan Pintara, A 1996one year old 1.6Nissan Pulsar/ Almera, A two year old 3.0 litreToyota Avalon - the first car with auto gearbox. My wife still drives the Nissan Pulsar which is now 16 year old and has 210,000km under itsbelt and she shown no interest in a newer car.While theVW was only owned for 4 years, the rest of the cars have generally been owned from 8 to10 years.some of these cars have been driven regularly by my wife and children, as well as your truely. During this time I have only had one car that has let me down. This was my first car, a 12 year old 1955 Austin A50, whose waterpump left its housing to embed itself into the radiator. Two days later after obtaining a waterpump kit and a secondhand radiator the A50 was back on the road.
So what sought of life expectancy should any of us expect from a Yeti? I plan on keeping mine for about 10 years, so how long do you plan to keep your Yeti?
I know this is one post with three questions, soshould Iexpect at least 10 variations of answers? Oh, that's another question!
