I was told by Trivet Skoda in Blacktown Sydney that they could not order a Yeti with the options I wanted because Skoda Australia had too much stock and they were not ordering any at the time. I sent a message through the Skoda Australia Face Book page because I didn't know anyother way of contacting them at the time. I was told they (Skoda) would look in to it and call me back. A week later I contacted Skoda Nowra and they said they knew nothing of it and accepted my order.

I wanted to order Annapurna wheels but I was quoted $1700. The dealer said there was no code to order them instead of the standard Spizberg (Spelling) wheels. Since there was no code, they had to order the wheels through spare parts, meaning I would have 8 wheels. The Annanpurna are the same size, just a differnet style. They are a 89 pound option in the UK. All the pictures in the brochure show the Annapura wheels.

The picture of the interior for the 4x4 model in the brochure is not avalible in Australia. Could marketing not find a camera?

The "sound system" option is not explained at all in the brochure and no dealers could tell me what it includes.

I was told by dealers that there was no Yeti with the "Off Road Tech" in Australia, then walked out to their yard and said "What about this one"?. Turns out it was ordered standard for all 2011 delivered Yeti but then changed to an option in 2012. None of the Skoda stock coding was ever updated.

The brochure says tinted windows are standard but there is an option for privacy glass. Either all the Yeti I have seen have privacy glass or only the rear windows get tinted as standard? No one knows.

None of the dealers until Nowra would provide me with commercial pricing. I am salary sacraficing through a goverment department. I was considering just getting a Toyota Hilux because it saves me near $10,000 getting Goverment pricing. Makes up a little for the rubbish pay.

The majority of what I learned was via internet searches and forums. Then it was hard to know what I'll be getting because Skoda keeps changing things. I have seen 3 differnet brochures in less than 12 months.

All the Australian delivered Yeti have had tow prep as standard and it's not currently an otpion. Who knows if the next shipment that might change and I'll end up without it?

I'm told it's part in parcel with buying a European vehicle but I dont see why it has to be?

Things like including the wheel code to the dealers for Annapurna wheels should be simple admin. Most if not all of these things could be fixed pretty easy. Skoda wont survive here at there current rate. They have good vehicles nad hense why I have still ordered one but come on.
