I watched your road test video of the Skoda Yeti and am encouraged to go for a road test. My wife and I are planning on retiring next year and we need to choose one car for the pair of us. She has a 2005 Citroen C4 VTR+ 110 HDI which is reasonably frugal and we both like driving for its sporty handling but the cart axle rear suspension makes the car very unpleasant on many of our roads which appear to be getting rougher by the day. I drive a 2003 RAV4 2.0 litre petrol mostly for work which has now done 110k miles. While we both like the high seating position, the RAV is going to be too thirsty when I've got to start paying for the fuel. We have agreed we want an automatic (we are both now in our 60's and want our driving to be as easy a possible) and are attracted to the Yeti Elegance 2.0 CDi CR. However, I am a bit worried about two features you have made comments on in the past. These are: particulate filters - is the VW filter system more reliable than others or are we likely to have problems similar to other makes? Would we be wiser going for a petrol engine - a lot of our motoring will be local, interspersed with occasional long journeys. DSG - I think I recall you once saying that the jury was still out on twin clutch DSG's. If that's right, what is the problem and also are they easy to get the hang of?
