    So far so good.
    So, watch out motorcyclists. I rule.

    110, 140, 170?

    I had the 170 and it was utterly brilliant. Enjoy.

    On my 3rd Skoda.
    Currently running a mk 1 Superb 2.5 dti v6.
    Goes rather well in great comfort.

    Currently have both our 6th and 7th - a Citigo and my Mk3 Superb 1.4 Sportline combi. Both brilliant cars, but the Yeti was more like an eager puppy than a mode of transport.

    The Superb is very much a relaxed cruiser, but the Yeti once managed to do a 64-mile A-road/unclassified road round trip in under an hour so it was far from it.

    I've looked at Yeti's (the Skoda variety) a couple of times in the past when looking at changing cars, but the boot space is very small for the size of the vehicle.:confused: We have two large dogs, a GSD and a Labrador, so space at the rear is important for us. The rest of the package seems great though.

    I've got the rapid sport, bit ironic seeing as it's a 1.2 turbo, was planning on upgrading to the octavia vrs until I finally decided to get into the bike life.

    Skoda's do some nice cars, it's just ashame the prices have been creeping up as not such good value for money as they were but I still recommend them

    I've got a BMW estate and before someone mentions the indicators, yes they do work, on mine anyway! 160 + bhp, 60 + mpg on a run and £30 a year road tax and although I don't go down there very often, I understand it is exempt from the London ULEZ charges too.

    Yes the space is amazing, I park next to a colleague with a polo and to say they share the same base, the rapid is huge!!!!

    I'm pretty sure It won't be the last skoda I have.

    I've still got the '98 Toyota Land Cruiser I bought in 2005. Mechanically injected 4.2L turbo diesel with no "take it to your dealer" electronics, can be worked on at home and I'll be sticking with it.
