HW682 Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 If I remember right, someone on here got one for a company car a while ago and gave it a good review. If you don't get many replies, maybe try a search on the forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead-Eyed Duck Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Further to my earlier post, my Yeti has now done 56,000 miles and averaging 49.5 mpg. What that means is that driving fairly carefully I get that, and anyone should be able to get 45 mpg. The front tyres lasted 52,000 miles and the backs will probably last another 5-10,000. So far this year I (we) have shot just short of 400 rabbits out of the sun roof. I don't be stupid and take it onto very wet ground - mainly pasture and stubbles. The fitted tyres don't look too good for off-road, but have coped with no problem. The electronic 4 x 4 system is excellent - a bit unnerving when you can coast downhill at a fixed speed with your foot off all the pedals, but it works. Hill starts are brilliant, in that the 4 x 4 system keeps the brakes on without you touching the brakes, and off it goes. Difficult to describe, but uncannily good. So, no real negatives at this stage. Hoping to buy it if all goes well when I retire in 11 months time. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miserableolgit Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 My wife got her Yeti new about two months ago, prior to that she had an '07 Honda CRV and prior to that a Freelander - both from new. She really likes the Yeti and from the little I've driven it I've found it pretty good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
