superb or yeti for family car

[RSwag]

yetis smaller than a tiguan .

What do you base this on?? How does the Yeti have less space internally than the Tiguan?? In fact given the superior design it would actually have more room, just can't see how you come this conclusion.

Please explain

What do you base this on??

Don't worry, you won't be disappointed with it's boot space. Perhaps not as big as a wagon, I haven't seen any sedan with a bigger boot. This includes Commodores and Falcons. Not to mention you also have a bigger opening with the Superb's twin door design.

I would also say Superb. I got 2 toddlers myself and I would say rear legroom is still quite important.

Initially I thought they are just little kids, rear leg room not a problem, so I went and got a Accord Euro. Big mistake! Very soon, the rear leg space will he filled with all their toys and books, and it becomes so hard to get the kids in and out of the car! For long trips, other than the usual annoying "are we there yet", they'll kick the front seat. Imagine having them kicking on the back if your seat for hours!! With the Superb, there is no chance that they can even touch the front seat!

My kids tried kicking the seat. So I stopped the car & smacked the offender on the leg. It only took a few repeat performances to make them realise they were the passenger & not the Captain.

To the OP: I'd recommend the Superb as well if it has to be a Skoda..... but if not, I'd spend (a lot less) dollars on a 2yr old Falcon or Commodore (not necessarily the base trim level though) & turn it over at 5-6yrs (car age) so that I keep better pace with technologies (ie: look how far behind a 1996 Volvo is these days). Best family cars we have had were the Holden Captiva 7 seater & the Toyota Avensis 7 seater closely followed by the last of the Camry wagons & the various Berlinas/Fairmonts/Calais/Commodore S that the wife has had.

All ill say is that if your planning on having a car that long, your likely to need size/space.. Go the Superb.. They are pretty bullet proof. DSG is my only Gripe.... Or could it just be the crap dsg controller that Skoda fit vs the VW equivalent. If you cant get a Manual do it... Not sure any Manual Superb's exist? I'd give my molars for a manual in my V6 Superb though.

I got that from a press release. more compact was their words. Tiguan is too small for two kids anyway unless you take nothing else with you.

Not sure about the passenger area but the rear overhang is much less, therefore the boot can only be smaller - unless SKoda know how the Tardis works.

The Tiguan has a very generous space for the rear passengers at the expense of the cargo area. But, you can push the rear seat forwards to make more space for the luggage. With the rear seats in the normal position the boot in Tiguan is as small as in the Golf5, but, we can leave with that.

Until I see it, I belive that the boot may be bigger in the Yeti than in the Tiguan.
