Don't get me wrong the Yeti's are fantastic and have a wakey and cool look about them but for me I still have that nagging snobbery in me regarding Skoda's and I also prefer the styling of the Tiguan's.

I know what you mean. My Mk1 Leon Cupra felt like a backward step after a Mk4 Golf GTI. Although the new car will be replacing an 8 year old V6 TDI Passat, I have got used to the quailty feel of my Mk6 Golf.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Tig Vs tig

I've just sold Mrs Docs tig R-line as the ride was far too hard for all of us, she's got my GTD untill her new Yeti lands then the GTD is off.

The yeti is the same thing with a different badge, and the spec pound for pound is much higher.

Her yeti is a 140 DSG 4x4 with every extra, sound pack, pan roof, bluetooth, xenons, electric mem leather, auto dimming exterior mirrors, tow pack prep etc (I didn't order nav as I can fit is for around 1/3 the cost and stuck with the 17" wheels) and I paid £25000 for it after haggling a £3000 discount, a similar spec new tig is £34000 and the yeti also has the option of memory seats that you cant have on the tig and is a feature I really like / miss.

Added bonus is that the yeti has just been named joint first as the car with the least depriciation over 3 year / 30000 miles so overall costs should be lower too.

Badge wise VW, skoda etc just doesn't bother me and looking at the reliability stakes the skodas seem much better than VW's but I dont see how this can be?

Thats my 2p's  :wink:

Not sure were that skoda is made but if its in the skoda factory then I can believe its better made. They have huge pride in there work in the skoda factorys unlike vw and Audi ones sadly. It's the workforce attitude that's different
