I've never had any problems removing and replacing the rear seats. It's really pretty straight forward.

I miss the Yeti. It was such a great car - not so obstrusive as today's SUV. A big mistake that it was not continued.

My first Yeti was a manual version. My 2nd Yeti is an automatic DSG-7 version. Extremely pleased with the vehicle allround!

We bought the Mk I five years ago and absolutely love it - only criticism is that the fuel consumption of the 1.2TSi is nothing close to quoted - I believe the 1.4Tsi would do better...

[ammagato]

Un vero peccato che non sia più disponibile, era una gran bella auto!

[hikerwoody]

A few years behind most but finally got the €€€ to buy my first Yeti, very excited ✊

Mines a year old now and I love it, good fun to drive and as tough as Dr Martin Boots. The 1.2 goes well for a car of its size and the DSG gearbox is a revelation, in sport you can Rev the nuts of it. Practicality is off the scale and its full of clever touches. Skoda isn't a Joke any more

I am on my second Yeti, they are great, they handle great. Have a good test drive yourself.

I LOVE my YETI 1.2 petrol MONTE CARLO and yes I have had two diesel YETI'S but I prefer my PETROL version.

Love my Yeti 1.8TSI 4x4. Has served well for 8 yrs on road and a few days on off road desert tracks. Very practical. Sad there is no successor other than "look like others" Karoq

Fantastic car, I've got the 1.2 Se L auto, surprisingly powerful for its engine size, great to drive, well built, good quality materials.
In my opinion Skoda made a huge mistake stopping making them.

OK here's my thoughts on the Yeti. I have one, it's the 4x4 DSG 140 brake diesel, with tow kit. I love it! I admit it's not the most attractive thing in the car park but the new version coming next year appears to be far more sexy.

The bottom line with this car is that it is smooth and powerful, the auto gearbox is lovely, quick and responsive. This model comes with sport auto and manual sequential, which I really never use. It is economic, and oh so practical. The rear seats all come out if you want a van but fold down near flat anyway. The load area is big and square and as such is easy to load and use. It's also a lovely surprise when someone looking down at me from their sexy German 4x4 wants to burn me off and I just step on it, because this car is quick!

The 4x4 system works well and the Hill Descent is really good. The car feels very solid and planted on the road.

Really you need to forget the Skoda badge as this is a VW Tiguan in nearly everything under the skin and inside it is all pure VW.

I like it that much that I would definitely consider replacing it with another one when the time comes.

I bought my first car in 1973. I have had Avengers, Golfs, Volvos, Mitsubishis, Ford's, Landrovers, to name but a few.

My Skoda Yeti is, without a doubt, the best of them all. It is a mystery to me why Skoda stopped making them

I bought a used yeti 2.0 tdi 110. Great car. I dont need to tow anything, and i never go off road. The ride height is great for country lanes, great build quality, excellent bolero radio as standard.

[yesman]

Love the Yeti. I own a 2010 170bhp model and it’s great. Only criticism I’ve ever had is the rear boot space is a bit too small, and the design of the rear end leaves a lot to be desired.

[musicofnote]

Trading in Wednesday my 2012 1.2 Ltr TSI Yeti for a Kia E-Niro. The Yeti has been, without a doubt the best car I've owned and I've owned a few '73 VW Käfer, '68 Chevy Corvair, '68 Chevy Malibu, '67 Pontiac LeMans, '78 Toyota Corolla, '81 Alfa Giulietta 2 Ltr, '98 Opel Astra Combi 2 Ltr. ... ). Hoping, that the E-Niro takes over the crown from my dear old Yeti.

[martincole]

Yes, a fair review as I have run a 2 litre TDI 150PS 4x4 for the last two years. Great towcar but like he says not the quietest. Changing it for a Karoq now to get latest active safety kit and more refinement on motorway runs.

[mikiscruf]

We are decidedly old farts. Entry to most coupes can be demanding at entry or exit and other SUVs can require a climb in or a slide out. Not my Yeti! As we advance in years the 4X4 is a definite advantage in nasty weather, snow, or rain - very very sure on the road very easy to correct, We love it.

[emilo]

Looking for a spacious work car and I really like the look of Yeti! Wifey says it’s ugly but I weirdly like it!

I’ve never seen this reviewer actually like a car ??
