Deleted and resubmitted (although not yet taken delivery...)

So, Aqua Blue Elegance in either 1.2 or 140 tdi 4x4 seems to be most popular.

Avoid a Pacific Blue E spec in 110hp tdi 4x4

Storm Blue CR170 Elegance. :)

Rosso Brunello ain't in my brochure!

Rosso Brunello isnt a current UK colour option.

Muscovado most popular colour! who'd of thought Brown would have been so popular and Silver the least (well metallic paint option in the UK)

I thought exactly the same! If I had bigger conka's I'd have ordered the brown and not the grey - it looks very nice indeed. I'd guess the reason for few going for the silver is that it doesnt contrast at all with the front and rear silver bumper insert bits, nor the silver roof rails if specified.

Been a member for some time but without a Skoda for a couple of years.

Have just ordered a Candy White 110 TDi SE 4 x 4.

For UK customers who have not seen the Rosso, here's a decent film of a Yeti in this colour on test.

Interesting results so far

This poll suggests c.41% of respondents have gone for 2wd, while Skoda predicted IIRC 70%.
Is the SMOC unrepresentative of UK ownership do we think? Or are Skoda predictions wrong? Or possibly the 2WD options available are not attractive to the full range of potential owners?
To throw into the mix, I would have guessed the 110 tdi in 2wd would be a big seller, but it's not particularly. Perhaps some potential buyers went for the 1.2tsi which has such excellent reviews and is a fair bit cheaper

It is still early days yet and we are in the midst of a depression though the govermnet are at pains to say that it is over. I read somwhere that this car was targetted at the young upwardly mobile but on this forum at least that does not appear to be the case we have a more midde aged audience but I feel that that has changed recently a little. Of course all the youngetser might be out parra gliding off cliffs or scubba diving in the abis and are too caught up to be exchanging view on the ineternet. :rofl: My gues is that either proper surveys and market resurch where not done at all by SUK or done very poorly. Iether would not suprise me, they seem to me to be a complete shambles.

How about adding another field, "Age of Main Driver".

Under 20
20-30
30-40
40-50
50-60
over 60

I think that might be a good idea except that who ticks what box is public and some may not want anyone knowing that they are 110 years old or only 5 :wonder:

I've got nothing to hide so I'll start the ball rolling; not a bad idea to build up a profile of the average Yeti driver. I am 34 and only chose a 1.2 TSI 2WD because I couldn't afford a 2.0 TDI 170 CR 4x4, it is just rather fortuitous that the 1.2 is a peach. Companies pay market research organisations a fortune for this sort of info. Maybe Briskoda can sell it on to VAGhttp://briskoda.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0105-wink.gif .

[aerofurb]

Nothing to hide (or confess to) either, being a very young 48... Wanted a Yeti from the first time I saw the pictures of the concept SM. Went for the CR170 because I didn't want to be wanting more after the remapped Fabia vRS - and I haven't been left wanting!

Another point of interest would be how many peoples choice has been decided upon after visiting this forum - probably the best place to see different colours and learn more about experiences and other things like options. A good plug for Briskoda perhaps with SUK.

I went for the 1.2, partly as a bit cheaper, but no DPF is a big plus.

Got a quote to change insurance over from a Pug 107 today - a whopping extra £16 until renewal (and £10 of that was admin charge !).

If I want speed I get my 150bhp 1300cc Yamaha out (but not in the snow)

33 here.

Im trying to get one more sensible family car in before Im allowed my mid life crisis and go and buy a two seater. I went for the 1.8TSi as the engine is a gem with loads of tuning potential - I prefer the way it drives and I dont have to worry about DPF issues. From what Ive seen of them on test drives I'd say it will be the perfect family carry all with the security of the 4x4 for when things get damp or slippery.
