Suzuki Vitara BoosterJet or Skoda Yeti?
I have recently been considering an automatic 4WD Yeti and would appreciate info on the type of auto transmission available with the new Vitara BoosterJet engine?

6-speed torque converter. I have not driven the BoosterJet yet. John Slavin did it for us. All I drove was the ordinary 1.6 auto that was okay within its limits. John preferred the BoosterJet manual to the auto, but that doesn't mean the auto is rubbish. I cannot ever recommend anything fitted with a DSG or S tronic transmission (apart from a Golf Alltrack in which it actually worked quite well) so that puts the Yeti auto out of the picture. Just look up the various road tests at www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests and the problem areas at www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar
