My Yeti has now done over 260,000 miles. It's regular up in the mountain roads, handles ice well when others are stuck. It gives me around 60mpg and is 13 years old now. It passes the annual MOT without issues and I even once carried a whole cement mixer in the back... love it

[@venugopalbaswaraju2513]

Some designs bring happiness to the soul. Skoda yeti is one such! So many elements of bentley design are seen. The lines...the way the car takes up space..ah beauty ....so rare at this price point! It is truly a design within reach! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ My pranams to the designer of this car! Its a design thats worthy of human excellence 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@AJTramper]

Fantastic review! I bought one in feb this year, done 15000kms. Its 2l.,4x4, 2011 reg, for 3.5 lacs with 85k kms from a known dealer. thanks to 10 year criteria in NCR. Timing belt was good and all terrain bigger 16 inch tyres good as new. It runs like a dream machine.mud,slush,water sandy roads, himachal ki pathrela road.it gobbles everything. 6 people in car and 2 quintal seeds in boot on dirt roads.dont think many so called suvs are that capable. This is a beauty for bad roads. I drive mostly on farm roads and rural areas and its a beast. Fun is passing Boleros at high speed on under construction roads. Auto dimming rear view mirror One touch slide on all four windows. One long press on key and you can raise or lower all windows. Fee add ons Mileage is between 13 to 17 depending on roads.not bad for a 4x4 rocket. I intend to keep it after 4 more years as a second car. Cause it will still beat a creta or seltos bought today.

Proud owner of a Yeti and I absolutely love it. There’s something about this car

[@lniranjan8015]

The Yeti is no simple car to maintain. Spares are quite common with Audi Q3 & one can imagine the prices. You hate the car when it comes back from the workshop. The bills kill you. Then you decide to sell it off & get a new car. You go test drive the latest shiny car in the market. Then you realize what a gem the Yeti is and how it outperforms cars 10 years younger. This continues till the next time it goes to the workshop & the next test drive. Its a vicious cycle that drains you financially. But the thought of getting rid of the Yeti drains you emotionally. Damn! It's an obsessive relationship with a Yeti. 2.26 lakh km of obsession in my case.

[@utubefreak7167]

[@arjundatonecrazykid]

Wow such a good review - as if you spoke my mind for ages.. Was amazed why the Indian market did not appreciate this gem 💎 . Thanks for the wonderful review ..

[@SiddharthVarman]

Long time owner here with a 2014 4x4 variant. Only gripe with the Yeti is Skoda's service. 3 times refused to service the Haldex stating its a lifetime/sealed setup that does not need any maintenance. If not for a local garage who had the tools and tech to do it, could have been a bad situation. Mine has been taken off road a fair bit as well. The 4x4 Haldex system is quite capable to get the Yeti up to many rutted trails with gravel and mud. A feature that seems to be missed in the video is the dimming rear view mirror - center and driver side. Superb when noobs drive behind with their high beams. Given how rare a 4x4 or AWDs are today, the Yeti 4x4 is a gem.

[@JatraOdisha]

I also want to buy this car but waiting for this review! I'll go with it! ❤

[@nagappapayannavar6486]

Hi, you have explained so technically sound about Yeti and your narration was so dependable and trustworthy. Further I wish all the best for your future endeavours.

[@mtkoshy6284]

Amazing review. As a proud owner of a Facelift 2015 4x4, I can relate myself to every comment you made. I have driven my lovely Yeti to Leh, Bhutan and Kanyakumari from Mumbai and have done umpteen trips to Goa too. Enjoyed each and every drive, always preferred over my Audi for long drives 😊

[@munnagurung4657]

Hi Sir,I would like to ask you that. I have a Skoda yeti diesel engine and rune 177565 km and I didn't have services due to not available parts in Bhutan. But I changed the water pump only. Any issue if not maintenance others. Pls help me ....

[@mtkoshy6284]

@@munnagurung4657 Hi, annual service involves changing of oil and air filter every year, which is the minimum requirement for proper maintenance of any car. You can source these online. Any garage can do the service. If not done so far, pl change timing belt also. Happy Driving,

[@ShrikantArora]

Buddy! You've re-ignited my love for this car, I own one since 2014 and man, I am in love. And because of you, I am in love again! Nevertheless, you spoke equally well and to-the-point. Much appreciated!

[@thegreeknew9927]

[@mikeilkycook6832]

The Yeti scored very well in customer satisfaction surveys year after year in the UK. Waiting lists for new Yetis were not uncommon. The car practically sold itself and yet Skoda dropped it because they couldn't make it fit into their branding package. So what do we get instead? At the time it was the Skoda Karoq; yet another Kia Sportage lookalike as so many cars on the market are. You had a winner, Skoda, and chose to drop it. Way to score an own goal.

[@katehirst6046]

I completely agree. I bought from a Skoda garage - mine had 1 previous owner, low mileage - and even the sales guys admitted they were baffled as to why Skoda re-branded their SUV range.

[@abdulrahmanfarooqi2293]

well, that was very useful; thank you bro, keep on

[@dineshpatel9034]

Well, got hands on a very lovely 2013 YETI AMBITION 2.0 TDi 4x2 with jst 18000 kms owned by NRI couple in Gujarat. But at hefty price of 5.75 lacs. But it's every single penny worth.

[@mousbleu]

Right now in France prices for 2012 models at 150k km, are 9000€ and above. I've seen that years ago it was worth bellow 6k€. Market gone crazy on used cars.

[@subramoniams9850]

Owning a 1.8TSI 4x4 Yeti that is 8 yrs old and 1 lac km plus (in the Middle East), I agree with what you say. On road it is quick and nimble. Acceleration is pretty quick and torquey. Off road (on desert tracks here) it did well for me in the strong summer heat. Sad it is phased out. Every time I look at a new car I have a doubt if it has everything that Yeti offers? Just not able to think of getting rid of my Yeti. One common problem with VW cars is the sunroof blind / curtain. IT just fails in 3-4 years and is super expensive to replace. The glue fails and the cloth drops. Very bad design that only 3-4mm of the 75cm wide cloth is stuck to the spring track.

Nice trip down the memory lane. However I disagree with the statement, “Since it’s a VW product, you don’t get lot of steering feedback”.

Sir skoda octavia has been one of the best handing cars in its segment, and because yeti is made on the same platform it has equally good steering response, you don’t feel much body roll.
