I have read the reviews but I need your opinion. Skoda Yeti or Hyundai ix35? Which is more reliable?

No one knows because they haven't been around for long enough for problems to develop. But the ix35 has all chain-cam engines. The diesel Yeti engines are belt cam, so that's a £600 replacement every 4 years or so. Some readers have been disappointed with the fuel consumption of the ix35 2.0 diesel, but that is solved by buying the much more economical ix35 1.7 diesel
Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.

Good value for money. Low emissions and decent economy. Generous equipment levels.
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+.
