Used Skoda Yeti 2009-2017 review

If you only need a car for short trips in town, then the 1.2 TSI Yeti is more than up to the job and, because of the turbo, it can cope with the odd longer journey, too. You won’t be able to get it in four-wheel-drive form, but most people won’t need that.

If you plan to carry people, then the 2.0 TDI would be your best option. The majority will be the 108bhp version, which doesn’t have much more power than the 1.2 petrol, but it does have a lot more low-down torque for relaxed progress. It will be quite loud at most speeds, only settling down when the car is in sixth gear on the motorway.

E trim Yetis has some luxuries such as air-con and electric front windows but, if you can afford it, go for either S or SE. These cars are better-equipped: S trim adds alloy wheels, front fog lights and electric rear windows; SE cars have dual-zone climate control, parking sensors and a CD changer.
