- The Skoda Yeti is a stylish and practical alternative to a hatchback. It handles well, but its ride and refinement are poor. Visit bit.ly/2hvac2K to see all of our latest Skoda deals.

I've never had any problems removing and replacing the rear seats. It's really pretty straight forward.
I miss the Yeti. It was such a great car - not so obstrusive as today's SUV. A big mistake that it was not continued.
My first Yeti was a manual version. My 2nd Yeti is an automatic DSG-7 version. Extremely pleased with the vehicle allround!
We bought the Mk I five years ago and absolutely love it - only criticism is that the fuel consumption of the 1.2TSi is nothing close to quoted - I believe the 1.4Tsi would do better...
Fantastic car, I've got the 1.2 Se L auto, surprisingly powerful for its engine size, great to drive, well built, good quality materials.
In my opinion Skoda made a huge mistake stopping making them.
Un vero peccato che non sia più disponibile, era una gran bella auto!
I am on my second Yeti, they are great, they handle great. Have a good test drive yourself.
I LOVE my YETI 1.2 petrol MONTE CARLO and yes I have had two diesel YETI'S but I prefer my PETROL version.
A few years behind most but finally got the €€€ to buy my first Yeti, very excited ✊
Any tips on buying your first used one. Worth looking for or ignoring. How true is the review
@@stephendoherty8291 hey there, I think the review is very accurate. I ended up with 1.2tsi, I was a little worried that it may be underpowered, but now that I've driven 2000km I'm more than happy. My dad has the 4x4 diesel which is awesome, but the 1.2tsi is notably quieter. I'd say unless you plan on towing or specifically need 4x4 capabilities the 1.2tsi is a good option. Good luck with your search
Nice! Is yours 4 wheel drive? Have you tried going off road?
@@Godot28 mines 1.2tsi so not 4wd, but decent enough ground clearance for the rocky lane I live
@@hikerwoody182 thanks for your reply. Yeah I don't intend on doing any serious off roading, just rough tracks etc and going camping on the moors and mountains etc. Has it met your hiking needs?
Mines a year old now and I love it, good fun to drive and as tough as Dr Martin Boots. The 1.2 goes well for a car of its size and the DSG gearbox is a revelation, in sport you can Rev the nuts of it. Practicality is off the scale and its full of clever touches. Skoda isn't a Joke any more
Yes, very true Mr Francis. Thank You. Our Yeti is a Great Car. Our Yeti has the quality, comfort, refinement, technology, design, practicality and driving dynamics that are required.
Hi, do you still drive the yeti? And how would you review it now after 2 years?
Hey, I'm thinking of getting that exact car. Are you still driving it? Still happy?
@@Godot28 i have a 2013 model and i haven't faced any problems till now, its been driven 100,000+ miles without any breakdown, go ahead and buy it without any hesitation 👍
@@Aminamo I had one for 5 years and it never let me down. I can't say l noticed any road noise either.
ask if the EGR has been changed as at about 40 to 60 k it will go wrong and costs a small fortune to change i know i have had that problem
Love my Yeti 1.8TSI 4x4. Has served well for 8 yrs on road and a few days on off road desert tracks. Very practical. Sad there is no successor other than "look like others" Karoq
I want to buy a Yeti 1.8 petrol version,please tell me is it thirsty?and fuel consumption?
I bought my first car in 1973. I have had Avengers, Golfs, Volvos, Mitsubishis, Ford's, Landrovers, to name but a few.
My Skoda Yeti is, without a doubt, the best of them all. It is a mystery to me why Skoda stopped making them
instablaster...
Trading in Wednesday my 2012 1.2 Ltr TSI Yeti for a Kia E-Niro. The Yeti has been, without a doubt the best car I've owned and I've owned a few '73 VW Käfer, '68 Chevy Corvair, '68 Chevy Malibu, '67 Pontiac LeMans, '78 Toyota Corolla, '81 Alfa Giulietta 2 Ltr, '98 Opel Astra Combi 2 Ltr. ... ). Hoping, that the E-Niro takes over the crown from my dear old Yeti.
OK here's my thoughts on the Yeti. I have one, it's the 4x4 DSG 140 brake diesel, with tow kit. I love it! I admit it's not the most attractive thing in the car park but the new version coming next year appears to be far more sexy.
The bottom line with this car is that it is smooth and powerful, the auto gearbox is lovely, quick and responsive. This model comes with sport auto and manual sequential, which I really never use. It is economic, and oh so practical. The rear seats all come out if you want a van but fold down near flat anyway. The load area is big and square and as such is easy to load and use. It's also a lovely surprise when someone looking down at me from their sexy German 4x4 wants to burn me off and I just step on it, because this car is quick!
The 4x4 system works well and the Hill Descent is really good. The car feels very solid and planted on the road.
Really you need to forget the Skoda badge as this is a VW Tiguan in nearly everything under the skin and inside it is all pure VW.
I like it that much that I would definitely consider replacing it with another one when the time comes.
borjastick "this car is quick" hahahahahahahaha... The yeti is a brilliant car, but quick it is not.
Yes it is quick for its type and against similar vehicles, I'm not comparing it to a Ferrari Prince. It has a very quick six speed auto box or one can use the sequential manual setting. For a 140 bhp car it is quick.
borjastick I don't own one but i think this car is brilliant!
It can be a family car, off road car and even a van!
There are a few shortcomings though. Mine was new in December 2011 but didn't come with rear stereo speakers, or sat nav, or USB port for phone and media input. Also the interior plastics are very soft and easy to scratch and mark.
I have the 2.0ltr turbo diesel 4x4 and quick is relative. Putting your foot down to get past Mr Myopia at 80kmh it is quick. The torque is really surprising, 350nm. Brilliant on uphill passing lanes. Real world performance. The other side of the coin is it runs out of puff quickly.. It won't set any land speed records. I love mine, awesome wee car.
Yes, a fair review as I have run a 2 litre TDI 150PS 4x4 for the last two years. Great towcar but like he says not the quietest. Changing it for a Karoq now to get latest active safety kit and more refinement on motorway runs.
I bought a used yeti 2.0 tdi 110. Great car. I dont need to tow anything, and i never go off road. The ride height is great for country lanes, great build quality, excellent bolero radio as standard.
I like that this car has lower radius of turn comparing with VW Tiguan
Love the Yeti. I own a 2010 170bhp model and it’s great. Only criticism I’ve ever had is the rear boot space is a bit too small, and the design of the rear end leaves a lot to be desired.
We are decidedly old farts. Entry to most coupes can be demanding at entry or exit and other SUVs can require a climb in or a slide out. Not my Yeti! As we advance in years the 4X4 is a definite advantage in nasty weather, snow, or rain - very very sure on the road very easy to correct, We love it.
Nigel, how tall are you?
Looking for a spacious work car and I really like the look of Yeti! Wifey says it’s ugly but I weirdly like it!
I’ve never seen this reviewer actually like a car ??
Mine is a fantastic dependable car
Fab car i got the Monty Carlo 4x4 2litre as i use a lot in Scotland.
U go off road much ?
Did you forget about the 1.4tsi petrol? I have one and it's great.
I`m also considering to one these days and couldn`t decide between 2.0 TDI and 1.4 TSI. How`s your in city fuel consumption and performance?
@@purulence666 Diesel are more reable. I have 2.0 Tdi 125kw 2010. I have more then 230 000 Km and i never had a technical problem.
@@filipkucera4674 wow nice, do you think the 1.6 105 ps diesel is also good ?
@@marvin2678 i heart they are pretty reliable, but i never had one.
Skoda is part of vws when i look on the internet for faults with vws there are pages and pages of faults with vws so how can they good cars i think if you want a good car look it up on the internet and find the car with out faults please let me know because i can not find one with out faults
vw has a lot of bad engines and problems but also many good ones that work for thousands of miles... you cant just say this car is bad because it uses volkswagen parts...some of the best engines are vw
From my research (and direct experience) avoid the TSI petrol engines from this era. But the TDI diesels are very good and reliable.
2017 secured in July 2020 for £12300. 1.2 tsi. But with 17100 miles 😂 😮
I'm thinking about buying one. What are they like and are they any good?
Best car I've ever owned.
did you get it in the end ?
Superb
No that's a different model in the Skoda lineup.
...a good test ;-)
That interior is influenced by vw
Bodywork overseen by Audi; engine and interior VW.
What’s the point in the review as he has constantly knocked it
The best car I’ve ever owned! Reliable and safe!
which engine did you have ?
@@marvin2678 1.2L petrol
One of the annoying facts of modern car life, they have stopped making all the cars with useful estate car boxy backs for hobbyists and dog owners to use. When I came to change my last car discovered they had just stopped making this one!
France aime
Is this guy high?
Kinda lame review...
Oherdom I fell asleep listening to this
Why did they made the design extra boring, why.
just cuz it doesn't appeal to you-it doesn't mean that it's boring n everyone's eyes😝😄
+Rahul Jayachandran Pre-facelift Yeti was fun looking handsome crossover with jeep-like hi-beam lamp. This just looks inoffensive but uninspiring. Which would you prefer better pre-facelift or this one?
Dick
They made it honest and practical. They didn't bother with rounded panels or pretend-muscles for wheel arches, cos they're not practical, they're about appearance only and add nothing. I love the honesty of this car. There are thousands running about in the English Lake District, where people know how good it is on mountain passes in bad weather, when capability really matters.
Oh shut up will you 🤦♂️ how many cars have you designed you melt
You have not got a clue
ok but you do ?
