Once again a great car, you will enjoy it
He also has a Porsche as well, but prefers to drive the Skoda
I think Skoda has risen to the dizzy heights of now of being very competitive, with looks and reliability
he's still reading the manual regarding the extras lol

update .......... delivery delayed by a few weeks (I hope )
I was taking my son down for his last term at university .
the dealer was only 10 miles away from his uni (its over 75 if driving from home )
I decided to go to the dealers and find out if any update on my car ......
as I was driving in and getting out of my car ,a car transporter came in behind me and guess what my car was on it ....... :shock:
I managed to get a pic of my car on the transporter only ........
delivery will be in 2 weeks i hope ......... just the car reg transfer from our car to the new one to do .

Someone telling me today at work that the Yeti is the same under the skin as a VW Tiguan? I don't think so. And that is NOT knocking Skoda cars I do rate them very highly.

Well, then you thought wrong :shake: They are on the same platform which is quite normal nowadays in the car industry.

I am well aware they are built on the same platform so is the golf ,touran, and numerous other vehicles I the VW, Audi, seat, skoda. Group. That doesn't make a yeti the same as a tiguan!
