So then, what car are you buying next?

[The Doc]

Yeti ordered today 

What engine?

Surprise surprise it's the 2.0 CR shoot chucker with 4x4 and DSG, I ordered the top spec version with leather, Xenons, memory seats, sound pack, panoramic roof, park sensors etc for 25k 

Won't be here for at least 9 months.....

Yeti ordered today 

Which one? I have been considering one to tow my caravan with, but I'm now sure that it would be any better than my Passat, as they are not very heavy.

Also after a VW, the Skoda interiors are a bit of a backward step.

Yeti 4x4 DSG 2.0 CR, you can tow 2000kg with it.

IMHO the trim level and finish in the yeti is better than the tiguan R-line it's replacing and is £7000 less than an equivelant tiguan

Doc that sounds very good spec and value.
Only thing I found when having a 4 x 4 is the driving enjoyment went straight out the window because of the height 4 x 4 stand.
That's the main reason I bought the GTi to put the fun back into driving down a B-Road with a big grin over my face.

Roger that, it's for my family duties, I'll be getting a 123d, mini cooper SD or a golf R to replace the GTD about the same time as the YETI lands :-)

My Passat V6 TDI can tow 2000kg as well, but it's not all about pulling capacity. If it's pulling a car on a trailer getting close to 2000kg, all is well, but with a 1400kg caravan, aerodynamics come into play and the caravan starts to try and dictate where the car goes. That's why you need a heavier car to show the caravan or a high sided trailer who's boss.

I would really like a Dicovery, but realistically, until the mortgage is paid off I can't justify that sort of expense.

On you, I've just sold a nice discovery 3 HSE whicas the 3rd and last I've owned, I did have a disco4 briefly but it just wasn't for me, the running costs just didn't add up for my wife to do 100 miles a week in it, it was a 2009 MY so was just about to come out of warranty meaning I'd have spent £1000 for an extended LR warranty, £500 for a service (one a year regardless of miles) and £500 for road tax etc etc the small VAG 4x4's make much more sense and as we dont have anything to tow what it can tow is largely irrelevant for us but you never know.....

Not yours mate only the r-line, yours is a superior match

Your a lucky man Doc two good cars. The Yeti is cracking family transport and If I was going back to a 4 x 4 It would be the yeti after reading your spec and price. It looks a hell of a bargain
