Buying a Skoda Yeti - which engine is best?
My much loved 1997 BMW 3 Series 2.8i has sadly reached the end of its life and I now need a new car. I am looking to downsize and trade in my car for a new or nearly new Skoda Yeti. However, I can’t decide between the 1.2 or 1.4 petrol engines, what do you suggest?

Yes, obviously a 1.2TSI 105 will feel underpowered after a BMW 2.8i, but will feel new and more lively. Can't price an R reg needing work that is obviously more costly than the car would be worth after the work. I think you have to regard the BMW as sold for spares so worth buttons.

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+.
