Back in January this year I year I e-mailed for advice on the Skoda 1.2 TSI 105 engine in the Yeti SE as I was concerned about the power for a large car, having driven nothing smaller than a 1.9 engine for many years. You gave the engine a favourable response, and, some 12 weeks I took delivery. After some 3,000 miles (including motorway and 1 in 4 Lake District gradients) I am delighted with the Yeti. During 47 years of motoring it is the most comfortable car I've driven with a lovely quite engine that is well up to the job.

Many thanks for that valuable feedback about the 1.2 TSI 105. I’ve also driven it in the Golf Mk VI and the latest Polo, but could not manage more than 47mpg, even using economy driving techniques.

Unique styling. Solid build. Excellent petrol engines including frugal yet peppy 1.2 TSI. Good space in the back. Frugal 1.6 TDI Greenline can return 60mpg+.
Comfortable and quiet on the move, enjoyable to drive. Nicely trimmed with great attention to detail. 1.4 TSI sweeter to drive than a diesel.
