Amazing car, the Yeti. Looks like it's a hit in UK since there's a 6 moths waiting list for it.

I don't believe that's correct. From what I've seen the wait is 12-16 weeks just like it is here. Obviously it will vary a little though.

evo magazine (UK) fitted their Yeti with Dunlop Direzza tyres and took it around their test track - it did a better time than the Renault Clios. It will be interesting to see how it sells here, and whether stock is an issue....

Was that really Sienna Miller? I mean, I know that she's been on the show before and all. Also, just how did they get her head in that glove box?

hehe, anyway, I thought it was a great review
When is the Yeti coming to Australia?

Could not watch the youtube clip since it was blocked.

Yes she was! It goes to show Clarkson can do anything he wants, pretty much

I noticed on a UK forum a guy ordered an RS in oct , told early jan , blown out to march/april , same as our wait when you tailor make .

Skoda are brimming with orders for all markets , UK love their reliability as does germany .

People tend to forget that Skoda is manufacturing automobiles since 1905. I don't know many other manufacturers with so much heritage. Do you? So, I wouldn't call the Yeti a cheaper version of the Tiguan, just like I wouldn't look at the Octavia as a cheaper Golf. They're great cars in their own right, better value for money and according to the poms at least, better built too!

Fiar enough - was just asking. My guess was due to the fact that VW own Skoda and the interior seems to share a lot of VW parts (i.e. the Climatronic and RNS/RCD stood out to me in that film.

Question though - would you actually buy a car with that name? I'm not so sure I could. I would probably pay a bit more for the Tiguan to avoid the name 'Yeti' actually.
